undergrad @BITS Pilani and masters@IISc

Has anyone already been interviewed by Professors from Caltech? I have also been invited for visit day.

TTPB: Thank you! No, I didn't have any interviews. Radio silence up until getting an email to check my admission status and finding out I was admitted.

Same email is the posters below. Feels like I am in school again, softening the blow before the real blow. Give it to me. reject me on the face. no need to prep me.

Thank you for applying to the Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. program at Stanford. At this time, we have notified all of our interview candidates and while our decisions have not been finalized, most admitted Ph.D. students are selected for interviews.

GPA 3.5/4. Decent SOP, solid recos, 4 publications, good research experience. Still not good enough for Stanford!!

Has anyone heard back yet?

I was notified that I was NOT selected for an interview by the Stanford ME Department. "Thank you for applying to the Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. program at Stanford. At this time, we have notified all of our interview candidates and while our decisions have not been finalized, most admitted Ph.D. students are selected for interviews. Final decisions will be released by early March, and we are unable to provide information regarding application status before decision release. However, we did want to provide you with this update about the cycle." The email was sent by the Graduate Admissions Officer.

Has anyone been interviewed for this program or hear any updates about the admission results?

Invited to the virtual campus visit on Feb 19!

TTPB. I think it may be an interview since I saw in previous years some students got rejected after the campus visit. Good luck to both of us!

Invited to the virtual visit and said offers of admissions would be made after. I think this means I'm accepted but I'm not sure?

Receive Professor's email reminded me to check my status next week. I receive a notification mention that I am admitted, but the official update will be given later. No good publication and my current research field are not truly match up.

Same as Georgia Tech guy, I got two profs in Purdue, Ziviani and Groll, in Georgia Tech I've only gotten a general admission though I'll probably get Prof. Garimella. I'm actually transferring over from a ME PhD in U Michigan, I realized I wanted to do research in sustainable thermal systems which Michigan does not have a good faculty for.
