Got an email this morning from the meche grad office saying that I was admitted and the formal admittance letter would come soon. Coming from undergrad at a top university with research, leadership, and teaching experience, no publications yet.

Do you think three acceptances posted below are legit? TTacceptancesB: Can you share more the email/profiles?

Ttpb: wait till at least end of next week. They said decisions will hopefully be posted by end of February. I'm assuming the influx of applicants pushed the dates a bit

Guys any news? Is it not bit late this year? When can we expect a decision?

No email yet, just a note on the application portal.

TTBP: I also heard that from the professors who interviewed me, and haven't heard back from them yet. One of them said the decision should be sent soon (within 1-2 weeks) before their open house day.

Has anyone who had a PhD interview heard anything yet? During one of my interviews AdCom person said they would likely meet at the end of last week, with offers to follow soon after.

TTPB: Are the admits out by the department? Also Can you please share your subfield? When were you interviewed? Thank you

Ttpb: They told a few weeks. So I guess it can be this week or next week. Moreover, they have mentioned that we will be receiving decisions soon.

I mailed the POI for the application status, he said he put me in his wait list and I'm still in his plans if other candidates withdraw.

TTPB: can you please share your profile? It would be helpful for the future. Also, did you contact the prof earlier? What is your research area?

Set an interview and I will update the result.

Interviewed with the PI and result will be announced in the three weeks.

TTBP) I did my undergrad at CMU and got an offer three weeks ago from my current REU advisor. From what I have heard from the meeting, most of 1st round acceptances are out, though the situation might vary by PIs. However, they will make alternative offers if any of the accepted students decline the offer from CMU and this will never be negligible. I am also waiting for results from other schools and will decide in March. Fingers crossed on your acceptance!
