Offer with RA position and $3,000 University Graduate Fellowship. Coming from undergrad with two research experiences, high GPA, and good reference letters. Attended GEARRS and contacted faculty early in process.

Professor from Mechanical Engineering department reached out for interview, extended an RA offer. School then sent admission letter within a week.

TTPB: prof. Semperlotti said that I'm also in his final list (i applied to AAE) did you get official letter????

They said that decisions were supposed to be finalized by the end of Feb. Anyone else still waiting to hear back?

I am the one who got accepted on 1st of March. I got accepted at “Semperlotti's research group”. My research interest lies in studying different failure mechanisms in materials.

Received admission letter along with funding offer as TA.

Email to check my portal Thank you for applying to graduate study at UCLA. We regret to inform you that you are not being offered admission. UCLA receives many more applications than there are student places available. Each of these applications is carefully reviewed by a departmental faculty committee. In this extremely competitive environment, many talented and promising students are not recommended for admission by these committees. We understand that this decision is disappointing, and again, there are many more applications than there are places available. Inquiries about your application or the decision may be submitted in writing to: Graduate Admissions Officer, Aerospace Engineering, 48-121 Engineering IV, Box 951597, Los Angeles, CA, 90095-1597, [email protected].

general rejection email

Math major undergrad. Good grades in Engineering/Math courses definitely may have helped.

TTPB: Love your idea! Big brain time: can`t get rejected if you never open the decision mail. Everybody gangsta until someone shows up for the class without hearing back. Let`s raid UMich?

If I don't hear from UMich tomorrow, I'm just going to assume I'm accepted by default and show up in the fall.

Thank you for applying to the Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT and thank you for your patience during this lengthy admissions process. Unfortunately, we are unable to admit you to our graduate program. This year we received a record number of applicants, but we were only able to admit approximately 1 in 10. As a result, we had to turn away hundreds of highly-qualified applicants. We truly wish you well in your future endeavors. Regards, ME Grad Office

Received general rejection email

4.0 GPA at a Top 5 Engineering University. Two relevant research internships. Two poster presentations and one second author paper. This year was really competitive. Best of luck to everyone still waiting! Hearing nothing so far is better than hearing a rejection!
