I had three "interviews" to find a fit for me. Three different labs, one technical internship(related to current research), and e-board of SWE, Engineering Education, and other engineering societies/clubs. Received 2021 NSF GRFP. No papers/abstracts. Did not submit GRE scores, but scored around the 65th percentile. A BS in ME from a state/public school. Reasons why I may have been accepted: Super solid recommendation letters(current PI, internship Supervisor, my PI/prof from my first lab in freshman year), talked about trying different research fields/labs which may have demonstrated serious interest in current research, and very involved with my department I turned down the offer because it didn't fit my research/career goals.

Sub plan Automotive, generic rejection letter. No publication, 1 year of teaching experience, and work experience in automotive. 1 course-based Master's ongoing, wanted to do a thesis-based master's.

Pretty much expected it :(

TTPB: Hi, I'm another admit. When you receive the admission email from the department (MechSE), you are basically admitted. The MechSE department recommends you for admission to the UIUC Graduate College, and the Graduate College formally admits you into graduate study at the university. This is just a formality. Unless something is seriously wrong, you are admitted. Soon the portal will update and you will receive notification from the UIUC Graduate College, but first, the recommendation for admission has to be processed. Then I assume we will get our NetID, UIN, i-Card, etc.

TTPB: I am one of the recently accepted candidates. The status 'awaiting decision' is still the same on my page. I think they won't update it any longer. I only received the email of acceptance but the status remained unchanged. Check your inbox, no need of logging into your account. Fingers crossed.

Have any of the recent accepted candidates had their decision awaiting for a long time before receiving the acceptance later?

I didn't get an email, but randomly checked the application status on their portal and saw the rejection. Kinda disappointed but I'm glad they finally put out their decisions.

Finally after a long wait..

Ignore Waitlist. Anyone hear from Aerospace Masters at UCSD yet?

Has anyone any idea about UIUC MS program decisions? ; except for one or two scantily distributed decision here or there, haven't really seen any developments. They are also one of the schools bound by the Apr-15th resolution and still not a peep from them.

Email to check the website. Quite expected but little bit sad

Applied to the Ph.D. program but was rejected. Offered to do the M.S. program instead.
