I hold a 4 year research experience and worked on 5 different projects. I have published 3 articles in well renowned, indexed journals. I also have 6 conference papers, with 3 additional journal papers under review. That said, these people reply via email stating that there is no supervisor, so admission cannot be handed. LOL.

What is taking so long for them to send a rejection letter?

High Impact ISI Papers=10.

Waste of money! It seems that they do not bother reviewing your application, and you have to ask Graduate Admissions about the admission decision. The decision email begins with "Dear applicant"! I thought we name people so they can be called by their names, dear Irresponsible MIE Graduate Office!

The wait was too long. Offered 38.5K CAD/year in total funding. Good luck to everyone else.

Does anyone know what the chances of getting a TA position in the first quarter or year for an incoming PhD student?

Rejected from waitlist. Reminded via email to check portal.

Well they rejected. I had an interview in January, no follow up since then. They also did ask again before the April 15 deadline if I would be interested in being on the waitlist but they recommended me to accept other offers if I had them (which I did). I wonder if the decision would have been different had I told them otherwise.

Waitlisted----> Rejected

Previously on the wait-list, got rejected.

Was waitlisted before. Got rejected just now.

On April 9th I received a letter saying I'm waitlisted. On April 11th, I sent my first email to a Professor (I had no prior communication with any professor at BU). The next day, I received an admission letter offering 5 years of support and distinguished mechanical engineering fellowship for the 1st year. BU is where I wanted to be.
