Interviewed by one professor in late Jan, and was not contacted since then. Pretty surprised to receive admission. No mentioning of funding though.

Have been waiting for this for a long time now. Finally got in.

TTPB: I have not heard from the department yet. But most likely it will end up as a reject looking at the trends of other Universities. Fall'19 is over for me since I could not convert any of my applications successfully. I am quite frustrated. Will try again but definitely not USA.

You application and supporting documents have been carefully reviewed by the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science department and by The Graduate School. As is often the case, the number of well-qualified applicants for admission to the Duke University Graduate School far exceeds the number of available places. Consequently, we are unable to admit all applicant judged capable of successful graduate work, and I regret that we cannot offer you admission to the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Ph.D. program. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to consider your application. I wish you the very best in your future career.

Just to continue one of previous post about rejection by posting rejection letter: You application and supporting documents have been carefully reviewed by the Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science department and by The Graduate School.

No interview and no funding yet

I got the offer for the Professional Masters Program of 1 year duration. Is it worth it for someone aiming to work in the industry?

After receiving nice letter of declination from POI days before, posted before, official rejection come today, very nice rejection letter. Thus, my prediction about rejection with 99.99% possibility is proved today.

Last year, the replies were sent out in late March. What are the chances of getting an early reply this year as well?

Got UIN yesterday. Admit on the portal today.

I applied late and they inform me that your resume is satisfactory and you can apply for the future semester (SP2019)

Ugh.. I can't just sit here and wait until mid April because some other schools I was admitted to have certain deadlines for accepting the offer. UMD is one of my top choices, but it's just too risky to wait for their decision that I don't even know the answer to.. I really hope I get an offer by end of this week. Fingers crossed. I also sincerely wish good luck for all the other applicants.

When inquired, I received an email from the grad school stating that results will be out by mid-April. But what baffles me is that no one has even inquired about UMD's master's results apart from the post below. Has anyone even applied for this program? Any info on the batch size at least?

Mailed to graduate admission coordinator. Reply "The Graduate Committee is making final funding offers and you will hear a decision around April 10. Thank you for your patience"

Got my NetID yesterday. Received admission today on the website. No news about any funding.
