I applied for PhD and indicated in the application that I also want to be review for MS. I got a rejection letter for PhD on March 5, but did not get a rejection letter for MS. Yesterday, I asked Stanford when I will get a rejection letter, and they replied "We only notify PHD denies if they were admitted to the MS program. At this time, we have released all admissions decisions."

TTPB: I also think the same. But this is not a nice way to send out decisions! Waiting for 24 hours after making a NETid to see the admission decision? Come on! I cannot focus on anything besides waiting for most probably a rejection.

Ignore the waitlist. Has anyone heard back? Radio silence for me.

I think those who got admitted received an offer of admit while the rejected ones got a mail for UIN because a lot of students received UIN today. I hope I'm wrong.

TTPB. I think UW is really trying to push the limit of their admission process in a sense that they don't want to accept a single more student if he/she is not absolute indispensable. I guess the reason why the admission process took so long is because they're waiting response from some other students that they've sent offer to. We, who are on the waitlist, are basically waiting for those students' rejection response, or otherwise, it's gonna be a "rejection" for us. Fortunately, since there is the "April 15 resolution", I guess all students should make their decisions before that, which means we'll also get our results by that date.

TTPB who got accepted in TAMU: Did you receive an email directly from the MECH dept. about your admission? I also received an email few mins ago of 'application acknowledgement' but not admission decision. It says to wait 24 hours for the decision. I wonder if this is how they send rejections or acceptances? Any ideas? Btw Congrats on your Admission!

Just got the admission email today. No interview.

Yet to receive admission letter, they said in the next 24hours. No info on funding

Anyone heard from UW? Its March 31st already. Is it just going to be rejection at this point? :(

Emailed to check on a status update. Honestly, a bit confused by this one but I guess they could tell I wasn't going to attend and there weren't great prof matches.

Was interviewed by a PI last week, as he was mentioned in my PS. He cannot determine whether to accept me until around the end of April. If the result comes late, I may consider other offers instead.

Was interviewed on the day of acceptance by a very nice female PI. I was told that this year fundings are extremely limited and ME department only plans to get 8+/- 2 PhDs for fall 2021. Profs consider students seriously before sending offers.

2 journal/5 conference papers
