Hey guys. Does the Mech dept at UBC do any interviews. Previous years there seems to be some reports that they were invited for an interview. Did anyone have an interview/skype session so far for the September start

Long time waiting, any positive decision yet?!!!

Just received the decision via Email: "Thank you for your interest in the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Each year, we receive applications from hundreds of talented people. Due to resource limitations, we are only able to recommend a small group of applicants for admission into the graduate program. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is unable to grant you admission into our Graduate Program here at UW-Madison. Thank you for your interest in the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. We wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors. "

To the poster below. There is not sth wrong in your application. I've applied for this program with 5 ISI papers in highly prestigious journals like Energy, IELTS 7.5, 3 years research experience, excellent LOR's and the GPA 3.7/4. Still have not received any feedback from the professors and the department. On the other hand, I received favorable responses from good universities in Europe like TUM, NTNU and ... There is no doubt that securing a professor is the only way to overcome the admission process and the key to do that just have some connections. Connections>> Qualifications

Had applied to MEng Mechanical like 3 months ago, IELTS 8, Research Intern, 8 Projects and Good LORs.. Still no reply from the department. Similar for McMaster. I am feeling it there is something seriously wrong in my application.

Applied for PhD admitted to Masters

I don't hear anything from this Ph.D. program. Did anyone hear any notification?

Ahh I see. Their admissions is a joke, 150 dollars wasted. Future applicants, only apply if you get a positive reply from your prospective supervisor. If not this is a joke. Maybe the department is understaffed or in some crisis, first is the extended deadline till june, lack of support ( I had login problems with CWL, no one from mech helped) and shitty servers.

Yes, it was Derek! One thing that almost drived me crazy was this fact that I totally forgot to send my electronic IELTS score and even after 4 months they did not bother themselves to notify me regarding this lack of documents. I applied for several programs in Europe but whenever there were some missing documentations, they were contacting me immediately! regardless of zero application fee!!! But when you pay the application fee it's natural to get some basic services concerning your application status.

It was worth waiting! I still can't believe it! THANK YOU!!!!!

Thanks for the info. I got a reply from this person called Derek. He basically cut and pasted the text from the website After applying section. http://mech.ubc.ca/graduate/prospective/applications-admissions/research-application-instructions/ They didn't give any specific details such as the decision hasn't been received from supervisors. Did Derek reply to your mail too?

To the poster below. As a matter of fact, I had some correspondence with the department and they told me that the professors whom I had selected have not sent their response concerning my application. They refused to tell me the date on which they are going to publish the results of admission or even anybody has granted the admission so far. Please be advised for some applicants the visa procedure takes very long time and they should publish the result at least 3 months ahead of September. Hence, 1st of June for the deadline is very late. Moreover, it seems the other departments have already announced the results but no any news from this department.

Guys!!! for mech the deadline is June, do you think that is the reason for the delay!! I sent a mail and received a generic response. Surely, they should be done with apps within a certain period and won't even tell us that. bloody hell. For September start would they let us know in August.

Accepted by department. Undergoing final review by international admissions.

This is ridiculous! After submitting my application (around 6 months ago), I still have not heard anything from this lazy department. I don’t understand why does it take so long for a department to select its prospective students? I received my admission from Europe’s top-tier Universities considering the fact that I applied 2 months later compared to Canadian Universities.

Poster below. Still haven't heard from them, this is the most crazy department ever. They won't even say when they plan to release the results. crazy.

To the recent post about transcripts. You are most likely admitted. Were you in touch with a professor?

I was sent an email asking for my official transcripts to be sent to the department of Mechanical and Industrial engineering. Any idea if my chances of admission are high? I have an undergrad from UK in Aerospace Engineering with GPA 4.0.

Undergrad from UK in BEng Aerospace Engineering with 4.0 GPA. Accepted for the MEng Mechanical Engineering. No funding.
