Really disappointed.. rejected through generic email. My profile: International student, 2 publication indexed in SCOPUS and several awards.

This one hurts the most :(

What’s going on with sdc?! So arrogant and rude! Has anyone got admitted by the second round?

Any Phd applicant heard from Civil Engineering department or did an interview. It is taking them long time

For the Phd structural engineering accepted, congratulations and kindly advice if they did interview with you and would be helpful if you share your profile (GPA, publication, experience)

for the phd strucctural engineering accepted, please can you say which campus Vancouver or Okanagan

Still one or two weeks? My friend from Stanford told me that they had held the visiting day so the chance is really slight...I give up and will just accept Berkeley instead

Expected :/

I received an email with official admission letter and funding.

Expected but still disappointed

Posted on March 20th and answering the question for the poster that asked the question the same day. International Student with a US degree from Purdue University, 3.49 GPA. Applied in February for a MEng and got accepted in Late February. No interviews of any sort. I have two relevant internship experiences and have been very involved in campus life.

Unbelievable!!!

Thank you for your application for the Civil Engineering graduate program at the California Institute of Technology. After carefully reviewing your application, the faculty has decided that they are unable to grant you admission. As you know, Caltech is a small school and as such we are able to admit only a small percentage of the applicants who apply each year. In many cases we are unable to offer admission to highly qualified candidates because of limited space and facilities, or because interests don't perfectly fit with the needs and research focus of our faculty. Your record and qualifications are very good, and we have no doubt of your ability to earn an advanced degree and that you will have a successful career. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Rejected from my dream school, devastated.
