People who got "we invite you to apply for the Spring 2021 semester" with fee waived: Did you your application get reopened? The Spring application window was opened on Aug 1 if I'm right...

It's impressive how long this took......

This is for 2021 winter. Showed deny on website.

The Graduate School of Engineering at Northeastern University received a strong number of applications from highly qualified applicants to the PhD in Electrical Engineering program offered via Northeastern's Boston campus. Unfortunately, we can not accept you into this program at this time. If your status in the aforementioned program changes, you will be notified. I hope that you are able to make arrangements for future studies that are acceptable to you.

My first admit this season. Really appreciate this chance.

TTPB: Congrats. I also applied for 2021 winter. May I ask what is your background? And you got result on Quest?

Canada PR. Bachelor of Computer engineering out of Canada. Overall 6.5 IELTS. No GRE. 4 ys IT work experience. Applied in Feb. No email. Check the result in the portal in June 23. Denied. Very depressed. FYI. Admin said "All international applications should be finalized in the next few weeks. (June) Domestic applicants should be finalized mid-July." Good luck, guys.

Was accepted back in may to the MEngr program and forgot to update. Applied for the Masters with thesis option, was admitted into MEngr instead. No strong research background, so it seems that is likely the reason. Anyhow, for everyone else still wondering if they will be admitted, the likely outcome is no. Basically, VT has a cap for admittance and it seems they have usually met that cap by May 15th. Im assuming that some people are not sent rejection letters until much later incase anyone admitted decides to decline the offer. A lot of you guys/girls posting may have had decent qualifications, but were simply not accepted due to lack of space.

It took 5 months to reject me lmao

To PhD students from other colleges, any idea about the fellowships given to us, if we were forced to start our program. Kindly share any information about this from the University/PhD advisor. Any inputs on this matter will be beneficial to our peers as well.

No reply since ever, I think the whole campus is infected with COVID and people are just dying. They don't have the decency to notify students even after taking hefty application fees. What the hell do they do while reviewing applications? Are they reviewing applications or trying to piss off students. Thread: PurdueEE

Another victim ):-

3.96/4 GPA and 6 months of waiting

Can someone please suggest how can I improve my chance next time? Here is a quick summary of my profile: I did my undergrad at UofT ECE with PEY. My 4-year overall GPA is around 3.3/4. I screwed up the second term in my first year, but my final year GPA is somewhat decent (3.8/4). After obtaining a bachelor's degree, I have worked at Amazon as a software engineer for 17 months then moved to a reputable Toronto startup tech company.

Waited for a long time
