Hello guys. I have submitted my application late December 2019 for fall 2020 and completed the interview. However I haven’t had the chance to do the GRE exam yet, but currently preparing for it and anticipated results are early March. Do you guys think it’s too late or it’s fine ? Thank u !

Checked the website today. It had been updated since Wednesday (2/5). Specialization: fluid mechanics

$32000 Fellowship. I had interviewed with a professor ~2 weeks ago. In fluids. :)

Not a surprise

So, FAFSA is an application for US students which is a proof for the need of financial support by the university. You have to provide some personal financial details as well as link your IRS form. If you are on the other hand an international student, they have to guarantee funding from the get-go for all the years as you would need this for a visa. Funding ends up being the same as any uni, a mix of Fellowships, TA and GRAs.

Email from PIO :(

bachelor's degree from top 3 universities in China, master's degree at UCLA, two papers in progress, several other papers, national patents, and awards. apply for robotics, rejected for sure, no one cares

No interview. Area: Robotics/Machine Learning

Top 8% undergraduate student from top 5 universities in China, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. GPA: 88.32/100. No publication. An RL from a distinguished professor in a top US university (not a very strong one I guess). Interest in robotics, systems and control. Not surprised to be rejected because of the lack of solid research experiences.

TTPB: So funding is not guaranteed after getting accepted into the program. Could please explain more on FAFSA?

Well, I'm a bit surprised since no academics got back to my emails and I was seeing all these rejections here. Focus wind energy/micro-nano heat transfer/ environmental thermohydraulics (pretty much all 5 energy academics fit). Finished a top UK university as a US national, GPA 3.85/4 (9th in the cohort), GRE: Q 170/170, V 161/170, AW 5.5/6, no publications, two months of research, strong recommendation letters. So far gotten rej from Princeton and Georgia and into UCLA and Michigan Ann Arbor. Especially for the Ann Arbor one, I landed that one through emails, chase academics of your interest.

I posted an acceptance below. I did not have any interviews. The graduate visit weekend is scheduled on March 6-8.
