Missed the event today, can anyone let me know what happened during the event? I saw someone posted 'New MEAM Ph.D. students: 13', is this real? They only admitted 13 new PhD students this year??

This was a horrible thing to do to the applicants. Shame UPenn!

TTPB which said: 'Ttpb: There's no way that they would do that... would they? Seriously, would they have a meeting to just show the attendees what they're going to miss? If so, why not hold this earlier before any admits were announced?' Sorry to say that's exactly what they did!

I feel bad for the people who dressed up and wore suits for this thing. Such a waste of time. i couldn't stop laughing when i say 300+ attendees. Definitely makes Penn not look as good now just getting people's hopes up for nothing.

It seems that all the acceptance decisions have been made.....(New MEAM Ph.D. students: 13)

As expected, today's virtual invitation was a total waste of time. - seconded on that!

Has everyone here who applied for Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. heard back from the department about a decision? Are they done notifying everyone?

Got the acceptance mail in the Ph.D. program, but need to reach out to the professors for funding opportunities.

Hey guys who all have not heard back anything? When can we expect any decision? Are all decisions out? I have not heard back anything? Any information would highly be appreciated?

I was interviewed early January and admitted late January. There will be open house for admitted students 2 weeks later.

any news on admissions?

To the poster from Arizona State University. Please share your profile;GRE, internships/publications and if you received funding.

TTPB: I also haven't received an admissions result. I was interviewed over a month ago, and I reached out to my POI/interviewer to ask if they are still accepting students, and they said yes.
