TTPB: Could you please share your profile? International/US citizen. It will be helpful if you could share other details as well.

Specific area of interest is systems and control. I haven't heard anything regarding the funding yet from the department. I did contact a professor prior to applying.

TTPB: I go to UCLA and I was chatting with the grad counselor (I didn't apply to UCLA, so she was open with me): she told me that they're behind, and haven't sent out any acceptance emails yet. Should expect it next week.

I received an email with an attached letter that said I was being recommended for admission by the department to the Graduate Division.

I noticed that some more people are getting into UCLA via phone. I was accepted by call a week ago, and the department said that they would send formal offers/responses through email this week, but I did not receive one. Has anyone received an email yet, or are they just behind? (For those interested, I applied as CME and CMT. Test scores and GPA are posted.)

I had contacted a professor he said he'll remember me when committee makes recommendations. In the January end I contacted him again he said the committee will announce their recommendations soon. I am an international student. Does this process take longer time for us than the US citizens?

So my UCLA timeline (I'm the guy on page 2 talking about the FAFSA). I applied and then over the next few weeks I tried to contact academics with similar research interests (heat transfer, not interested in the fluid mech faculty at UCLA). Early Jan I got a reply from an academic saying that he saw my email and was interested in my research and has put me in a pool of applicants for three positions he had. Since then I've been in touch and scheduled an interview (no other academics got back to me). On the morning of the interview (6th of Feb), I got offered a place, without the mention of any funding however. We discussed some fellowship paths as well as was told it takes about two weeks to announce all TAs. My takeaway from my admission in Michigan too is that you should contact academics with SPECIFIC research interests. I've made a google drive for each uni which I link whenever I email people. BEST OF LUCK

Has anyone been informed by the EPSS department? especially for space physics.

CME

To the poster below of UCLA. Did you had an interview before you got accepted. Also please share the timeline of the events happened.

Waiting for official offer from the graduate division

Sorry for last post. Hope all the best for those still waiting for decisions.

TTPB: what were you informed?
