Bummer, I was really feeling good this year. Two years industry work in spacecraft operations and a few publications. Congratulations to the 8%!

8% acceptance rate shook me! I knew back on Monday when everyone got the admits that I was gonna get rejected. Still held on to some hope. I'd rather apply another season when COVID's over and the sky is blue again!

This is the M.E. in Aerospace Engineering. I was not expecting an acceptance. I will need to do a cost comparison between my acceptances because that will most likely be a bigger factor.

Reached out to dozens of faculty manually; most did not have funding, those that did sought to interview.

Did not email individual faculty directly.

Had an interview. Accepted with funding.

BS / MS from Top 3 program w/ funding. Cheers y'all

gg everyone

Received my rejection email this morning. The program coordinator had said in a separate email that every applicant should receive word on their admission decision by March 1st so keep an eye out. Stay strong! You'll succeed regardless of where you end up!
