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?

You get A chance to discuss your research interests w prospective POI. Your applications a face and your chances then depend on funding availability

TTPB: When mentioning the PhD program, does this refer to solely PhD program or does it include "MS/PhD" program? Because based on my understanding, there is generally no MS program of UCB,

Admitted with College Graduate Scholarship

Hope these notes would help the applicants to UCB ME this year. I was an applicant admitted here before, but didn't accept my offer for some reason. But I would still like to share some of my experience. To answer questions about preview day below, the preview day is just the interview of ME Ph.D. program and during non-pandamic period, it should be a two-day on-campus interview with your chosen profs. According to my knowledge, funding is always the problem for any ME Ph.D. program, which may affect the admission process a lot. My suggestion for this program is that don't overdoubt things. I personally think people in charge of graduate admission at UCB ME are really great and care their applicants, based on my interaction with them. However, it's a fact that it might take longer for any decision to be made here, probably due to funding consideration I guess.
