Admission and full funding confirmed by PI.

Quite surprise! I regret to inform you that your application for admission to the University of California, Santa Barbara Department of Mechanical Engineering for Fall 2021 has been denied. Every year we have many more excellent candidates than we are able to accommodate, requiring us to make difficult decisions. Sometimes even outstanding applicants cannot be admitted.

I received the I-20 request

Email from my POI that I should be receiving an official offer from the department. Had interviews with the POI and doctoral students in late February. The graduate admissions office also informed me that I'll be admitted with a five-year funding guarantee. I will accept the offer. Best of luck to those who are waiting.

TTPB: According to the information on Visit Day, The decision will be made only there is a match with faculty. The program says the application profile will be kept to summer and the applicants are encouraged to contact faculty during this period. FYI

Ignore the waitlist. Anyone received the TA/RA offer? Thanks.

Any recent update from the program about the timeline for admission decisions?

Ignore the waitlist. I got an email requesting I re-upload a transcript, and got this answer: "Anticipate 2-4 weeks for Graduate Division to notify you of your decision letter. Please note that we are in our busiest season, and still processing applicants, so we appreciate your patience. "

TTPB: When was the visit day? I have applied to the program. However, I haven't heard anything at all. So, does it conclude that I have no chance at all? Thank you.

Has anyone got admission? No news for me after the visit day though.

Had an interview with POI in January, no funding information in the admissions letter

I was the one who posted UW acceptance. From the posts I saw on this forum, I think that the department does not have enough funding to offer assistantships to MS students. I will be rejecting this offer to accept a PhD offer at a better school

ttpb: Congrats! When you say it was internal, was this a 5th yr MS after Berkeley undergrad?

TTPB: Not the same person, but I was accepted to UW Master's program back in Feb. No funding. fyi, I'm an American student but not a Washington resident.

To the poster from University of Washington. Were you offered any funding? If yes, how much thanks

Accepted to the internal MS program, not the MEng program

Offered admission + 4-year fellowship. Will decline the offer due to already committing elsewhere.
