Your application and supporting documents have been carefully reviewed by our Admissions Committee. Our policy of limited enrollment and the number of very qualified applicants to the Master of Engineering Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering make it impossible for us to offer admission to everyone who applies. I am sorry to report that you are among those whom we are unable to admit. This was for the MEng Program. Matched with the overall class profile pretty well, don't know where I went wrong. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Email to check portal status. No congrats email now

TA Award came on February 22. Official admit came on March 9.

If not information yet from UMD, does that mean rejection? I am highly skeptical whether they know how to interpret my transcript, and they refused my submission of a WES conversion report by saying no need to do so:)

Standard Rejection Email. Mentioned below: Hello! I write to inform you that our review of all applications received for our PhD program is now final. I am very sorry that we are unable to admit you this year. We receive hundreds, thousands of excellent applications from outstanding candidates who will undoubtedly make amazing and important contributions to science, engineering and technology. Importantly, we work hard to only admit candidates for the projects that are available, and hence the number is quite limited. I understand this comment does not diminish the disappointment; I am sorry. I thank you once again for considering our PhD program for your educational plans and to help you to achieve your career goals. I wish you the very best in all of your future endeavors. Sincerely, Professor XXXX Chair, EECS Graduate Admissions EECS at MIT

VLSI track, no funding

Rejection sent by email. It's fine I got acceptances at equally good programs.

Got an email for the invitation to virtual Informational Open House, with saying "Congratulations on your offer of admission to Purdue's PhD program in the Elmore Family Electrical and Computer Engineering. We are excited at the prospect of you joining us in Fall 2023!"
