Admission office mailed the UIN. Created netID and waited 24 hours just to see the rejection. A simple email would have sufficed.

Did not receive any funding till now. Are they going to release funding decisions at once or is this some kind of soft rejection for me? Does anyone have any update from the department?

Math major who took some engineering courses. Combination of good grades in Math/Physics/Engineering Courses and good LOR from my engineering dept probably helped most.

TTPB: They did the same last year. They put all of the applicants on the waiting list to reject them later on 30th April/1st May, LOL.

Applied to the CMU-MPI joint Ph.D. program. Got notified today of being placed on the waitlist today. Note: "Applicants on the waiting list are not ranked. The final decision will be based on the information in your current application. We are unable to consider additional information in support of your application. If you have been admitted to another university and have an enrollment deadline prior to April 30, we encourage you to enroll in that program."

"After careful consideration of your PhD application for Fall 2021, we have decided to place you on the waiting list for admission." Surprised it was not a full on rejection when I saw the first line! Tbh very unexpected but gives me hope from this killer application cycle, not sure if I will get off the WL though. They said notification on status by April 30th

Professional MS in Mechanical Engineering (non-thesis), submitted app a few days before deadline of 2/15/21.

Did any master applicant hear anything from them yet..? And is it true that they admit a very small no. of master students? Kindly share any relevant info, can't bear the wait, they are not even replying to queries anymore

Recommended for admission.

Received mail stating that I was recommended for admission.

TTPB: (Ignore waitlist) Guys, at what time did u guys receive the mail/notification? And what research area did u apply? Thank you

Got an email to check application portal. The dreaded generic rejection letter was uploaded there.

TTPB: Same here, I haven't received any update on my application either. According to their website, all results will be out by April 1st, so let's just wait for one day more. Good luck!

Not surprise

I had applied for S21, got accepted at that time but did not get funding. Deferred the admit to F21. Interviewed with a couple of professors. Got an GRA offer from one professor in March 3rd week.
