ttpb: I'm a domestic student. I didn't contact anyone beforehand. My area of interest is additive manufacturing

Ttpb: inquiring about if the accepted student is domestic or international. I believe penn state me dept has released decision only for domestic students so far. I am an international student still waiting for the decision. I emailed the dept about status and they replied that I am not likely to get decision until February. God! This waiting is killing me checking gradcafe every now and then. Anyway congrats to those who have been accepted and best of luck who are waiting for decision.

Had an informal interview/research discussion at the beginning of January, email notification from the Director of Graduate Studies on 1/25; formal offer should be from the university in 1-2 weeks

TTPB: Congrats! What is your area of specialization? Are you a domestic/international student? Did you contact a PI before applying?

ttpb asking about biomechanics/biomaterial. No I have not heard anything from that track either. I think biomechanics/biomaterial is a part of material if I'm not mistaking.

The offer email was in my spam folder. I checked my decision with PSU.

"UofU Mechanical Engineering Grad Expo invite" for Feb 18th

Did anyone hear back from UTA Engineering Mechanics?

Unofficial notification email from Director of Graduate Studies; official offer to come in one or two weeks

Did anyone receive decisions for the biomechanics/biomaterial track?

Had an interview earlier this month. Received an email today!

Initially contacted Dec 23rd for an interview on Jan 6th (materials track). Basically they said they wanted to see if I was a good fit as the department is small and they have limited spots available. Received an email today that I was accepted. To give an idea of the stats that got me in: GPA was 3.68/4.00 in physics from an elite LAC. Didn't take the GRE. Had one publication as first author in a well regarded astronomy/astrophysics journal and one as a co-author in a conference proceeding. Research experience consisted of two summers in college (one at my college with one of my profs and another in an REU program), a failed senior thesis, and one and a half years (as of application submission) working in industry. Congrats to all those accepted and good luck to those still waiting to hear back!

ttpb: Take the result with a grain of salt when poster status is "O". A lot of scammers around here lately.

ttpb: did you any receive the email from the department? Or just wondering how did you know the result?
