Alma mater, 3A/1R/4P. Waiting on funding to finalize decision but isn't a top choice at the moment.

India, CPI: 8.16/10, meh, watchu gonna do...;. time to move on I guess

received an email to check the decision on the website. a generic rejection letter. I'm surprised at the rejection but not sad as I already have two better admits from Virginia Tech and Ohio State. Good luck to everyone waiting.

My SOP and LORs were perfect, maybe a low quant score is a reason for rejection.

Was notified that my application was recommended on 02/26, saying that I needed to send them the official transcript to further the application process. Submitted my official transcript on 03/12, got the official admission letter via website the same day. No words on funding.

We have received your application and supporting documents for admission to the Graduate School. After careful consideration, the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering program to which you applied have not recommended your admission. Their decision was based on the requirements of their particular program, which may include, the qualifications and performance of students currently studying in the program, and/or the number of new students that the program can accommodate and support. I support their decision and therefore cannot offer you admission. I appreciate your interest in the graduate programs at North Carolina State University, and I wish you well in your future endeavors.

I think, my US MS degree with higher GPA and multiple publications in ASME journals helped me to offset my undergrad profile.

Studied MS in Chemical Engineering. Work experience: 2.5 years. 3 publications but not related to mechanical engineering at all. Good recommendations - graduate and undergraduate school professors.

My GPA isn't competitive, a year of research and one paper under preparation. 3 good recommendations. Felt grateful for this offer :D

I received admission into PhD earlier but NC State University Provost’s Doctoral Fellowship is awarded on 1st Mar. It includes tuition and annual stipend of $30K. I am Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur undergraduate student and contacted Deptt. HOD earlier as potential supervisor (He responded very positively).

Checked the application status portal which told me the decision had been made. Did not receive any mail.
