No email. I went to check my status through the application portal and saw an "update" with a rejection.

Has anyone heard about fellowships for MS students?

Applied for the Masters program only

Did anyone else get an email from the student services office with information for admitted students but not get an actual offer of admission yet??

Was expecting it due to the extremely competitive nature of the MCiM program. One thing for applicants reading this in the future to consider (probably applies to any program actually) is that when applying to top-tier schools like Stanford, ignore the "we do a wholistic review" statement of the program because at the end of the day your GPA and GRE count the most, then the letters, followed by your CV/what you have done with your life thus far in terms of career & service to community. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't apply, but have realistic expectations and that there is a good chance your application will be rejected if you don't fit the typical Ivy candidate description. Always have back-ups in different tiered programs if you really want to pursue this or some graduate program.

TTPB: Congrats on the acceptances! Would you mind sharing if you applied only to the MS, or to the PhD and requested to be considered for the MS? Thank you!

Not surprising given they only have 10-15 seats per year. Have 3 years of quantitative work experience (1 as a data scientist in a tech start-up) and submitted what I thought were strong letter of recommendations from 2 professors and my manager at my current job. I initially wanted to submit 2 letters from industry, but one of my previous managers didn't submit a rec in time, so I had to scramble to find another professor from my undergrad who previously wrote me a strong letter years ago that got me into my first master's program. Also had a ML paper pending submission at time of application, but guessing they only care about published papers at the time of application? Undergrad in Economics & Mathematics from an Ivy League school and master's from another top 5 school.

Absolutely shocked, am I dreaming?

TTPB: Thanks for letting us know! I wouldn't be surprised if MechE decisions are released on the same day as CS decisions. Hopefully, "a few days" means by the end of this week :)

TTPB: MechE department emailed back today: "We should be releasing decisions within the next few days. Thank you for your patience!"

Was interviewed on 3/4 and have not heard back for a final decision yet. To those who have been accepted congratulations!! When did you interview?

TTPB: I said I expect results on 19tth based on data from previous years. Feel free to report spam!

1) All these accusations and race-based comments are such a waste of time -- you'd be better off focusing on things you're in control of -- e.g. coursework, research, and related experience, if you seriously want to get in 2) You are presumably interested in working with these professors, and yet you seem to believe they have no idea how to judge how to choose the best incoming class. Faculty have a lot more experience in academia and have been working with and admitting students for years -- you should trust them to pick the right people. Sure, false negatives do exist, but usually people want to avoid false positives more. 3) Membership in the admissions committee usually isn't publicized, so the comment on it being easier for people who are Chinese (or any group of people really) to get in, based on the ethnic composition of the committee is unfounded.
