Full financial support for first year. Details of financial support will be sent later.

It is my great pleasure to inform you that the Graduate Admissions Committee has recommended you for admission to our graduate program, beginning with the Fall 2012 term

At this time your admission to our graduate program does not include an offer of financial assistance directly from the department; however, it is our hope that you will be able to obtain a research assistantship based on individual faculty needs

Declined, accepted offer from different program. My status went "blank" before receiving offer, so it looks like that's not a sure indicator of admit/reject

Applied on Dec 15!.

I was initially told in March that I would be considered for admission if I were to receive an RA offer from a faculty. In April, they sent an acceptance email (with funding) even though I could not establish any contact with a professor. This funding would have been given as a TAship or an RAship, employed by the MechSE department
