To the poster below: I was in contact with my POI before and after applying. As I didn't get any decision from admissions, I mailed POI asking if he had made any decision on my application. Luckily, I got a reply and he still had vacancies. He was interested in my previous work and had a skype conversation. I guess everything depends on the POI having an interest in your application more than anything else.

Had Interview with POI last week. Yet to receive official offer letter. For people who have not yet received any decision from admissions, get in touch with POI as soon as possible. You may still have a chance. Best of luck!!

Have anyone heard from them yet? Have they started to give admission decision from the wait listed candidate? I have other low ranked offers and I need to start visa processing soon.

Applied for PhD admitted to Masters

I was sent an email asking for my official transcripts to be sent to the department of Mechanical and Industrial engineering. Any idea if my chances of admission are high? I have an undergrad from UK in Aerospace Engineering with GPA 4.0.

Undergrad from UK in BEng Aerospace Engineering with 4.0 GPA. Accepted for the MEng Mechanical Engineering. No funding.

TOEFL:90, a year of research experience, few months of working experience, 4 prizes on small competitions

Anyone else still waiting to hear from Penn MEAM? Why are they soooo slow

Hi, Has anyone applying to the department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering gotten any response to their application? I can see applicants from other departments getting accepted/rejected. Has anyone contacted them?

Dear Professor, Thank you for your letter. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite Kaust’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this Fall. I look forward to seeing you then. Best of luck in rejecting future applicants. Sincerely,

Applied on 3/15.

Thank you for your interest in our MANE Dept. PhD programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Currently, your application is one of the few still under review and possible consideration for admission and financial support for Fall2017. Before we make the final decision, we would like to know if you are interested in attending RPI or if you have already decided on what school you plan on attending this fall.

Has anyone heard from them yet?? When are they going to give us an update? Its mid April now.

No information on funding. They have asked me to send official transcripts

I just withdrew my acceptance on a funded offer. Good luck to those waiting.
