Has anyone applying Geomechanics got acceptance or rejection?

expected. oh well

yeah sheesh

It's about freakin' time!

Expected despite having a lot of overlap with POI, just didn't gel with them when we spoke! Wrapping up with 3A/2W/3R. Now for deciding!

Received an email from the department. Expected rejection since I had not gotten any news since I submitted the app. Glad to have backups. Congrats to those who were admitted!

Generic rejection email (copy paste), it was expected ofc. I think I had a strong case, but I think that they look at your university status before anything. The one thing that bothered me is that a lot of people asked about their status for the past two weeks and no answer was given to them (they were already rejected) I think it is cruel to make people wait for rejection with small hope, they should have told us as soon as they made up their mind which was obviously a while back.

"We are very sorry to inform you that we are unable to admit you into our PhD program for 2021." Didn't expect admission to be honest.

Generic email reject. Web portal still shows no update.

No prior interview.

Completely expected!

ASU undergrad with 3.71 GPA, 2 NASA internships, a few other internships, 2 papers, 1 first author, another in progress. My letter writers are somewhat connected with MIT and likely wrote decent recs. Obviously it's MIT so very competitive.. Luckily I have a good offer at ASU!
