Disappoainted :( Is it true several professors in robotics are on sabbatical?

No funding information yet

Just wanted to join the bandwagon of Cornell Rejections :-) I've gotten into other top schools so we can only speculate. Lol!

Solid mechanics. 2 publications 4 yrs full time work experience. Rejection letter almost verbatim copy of the letter from two years ago.

Accepted with full funding. Cornell Materials Science graduate (MS).

:(((

Area: Additive manufacturing. No hurt feelings. Congratulations to who got accepted.

Admitted without interview

Had an interview with a professor that shared research interests closely, disappointed but best of luck to the incoming students!

International student.

Applied to PhD program, accepted to MS program. No email notification, just checked the portal and found the letter from 1 week ago.

TTBW: I agree. I got admissions from other good schools and I do not think my profile is such bad. I wonder who could be accepted. Area: controls.

Supporting evidence that Cornell MAE admitted no Ph.D. this year. 1) Statistically speaking, there should be at least 3-4 admission posted for Cornell MAE Ph.D. (Each year on 2/1). 2) There is no interview or campus visit posted for this year (just one for master application). 3) Based on my email communication with MAE faculties, several of them (at least in robotics/controls) are on sabbatical so not taking any new students. Anyway, what a waste of effort and money.

Undergraduate GPA 3.8, GRE 161+168, one paper under review, strong LORS. Sad to get the rejection... Area: Solid Mechanics

I had an interview a couple of weeks ago.

South Asian student with two undergrad. summer research assistantships in mechanics. Got selected with departmental fellowship for 1st semester and GRA/ TA for remaining semesters. It seems advisor has to be chosen only after 1st semester.
