TTPB, I did not apply to Ohio State but this is how it works in almost all public universities (for me that I've been admitted to UCLA and U-Mich). Some private ones (for me Cornell), offer a departmental fellowship for Year 1 but still, the rest of the years are GRA/TAs to be decided with the academic you match.

TTPB : Can we get in touch? My email ID is [email protected] . I would like to ask a few questions. Please email me so we can connect. Thanks !

To the poster below, I was given admission in January and it was written in the mail that the decision of funding depends on faculty members. You have to mail the professor of your interest to manage RA/TA/Fellowship. If he does not respond in three/four days, you have to try for another professor in your interest list. I managed RAship by giving a skype interview following the procedure. There is no way you will be given fellowship/TA/RA without the recommendation of any faculty member.

I got admit in January with no funding. Till now they are saying that we cannot guarantee any funding at all. Did anyone else get any type of funding?

To the poster below who got a reject for masters, did you apply for the MS in mechanical engineering program and when did you apply? I haven't heard back from the department and I applied on 1st January 2020.

16 months work experience; 2 internships; 2 major projects.

Notified by potential advisor that I have been admitted to his group, but didn't get the official offer letter. TTPB what is the typical financial support there?

Generic rejection email.

Email to check website. No funding.

No funding.

I emailed the grad school a few days earlier: "As of today there is no decision on your application...." They also mentioned that majority of PhD applicants will receive an admission decision by March 30 to mid April. I'm not sure what that implies.

Received offer letter from PI

To the posters below. You are not alone. I am also in this league and three of my friends also. So, it is sure that we are not on the waitlist. I got offers from universities far better than NW but I am wondering what it takes to give away mass rejection rather than keeping all in the waitlist/rejection list.

in offer letter they told me no funding.. has anyone got funding? tell me your profile

Got an email to check my application online. Very Expensive

To the poster below. I am also waiting for NW and I do believe they already sent out some rej for Phd. I think the committee is consisted of a bunch of slow-moving idiots. They do not care and respect the applicants at all. High chance is that we are on the waitlist but my patience is running out. Anyway, NW is a backup option for me. I already got offers from other 'better' schools and I will reject NW in the end anyway. What a waste of effort and application fee!

The university is taking the exam of my patience. Really! Why aren't they sending the rejections yet!

Sad considered safe

From a top tier university in mechanical engineering with a decent research background. Devasted at the result. I thought I made the cut for UCLA. It has been a spree of rejections so far this season.
