TTPB: I'm literally in the same boat, had an interview in January, and my POI told me that I was one of their top contenders. Also in controls area. I didn't hear back for five weeks, and then I emailed her to ask for a status update. As of two weeks ago she was still admitting students... hopefully we'll get good news soon!

TTPB: POI emailed me that I'm one of his top students and he hasn't made any final decisions. FYI, I had an interview in January.

Bachelors 3.75 (from a southeast Asian Country, top university of the country), Master's 3.9 (USA), 2.5 years research experience (GRA), 1 co-author conference publication, 1 lead author conference submission, 1 lead author journal submission, 3 co-author journals submission at the time of application. 3 years of TA experience. I emailed the POIs, got no responses. No interviews! Congratulations to all the successful applicants.

Did not reach out to faculty and was never interviewed. Applied with 2.5 years of research exp in 2 labs, 1 paper, 3 internships, 3 senior design projects, 2 letters of rec (third never submitted). Research focus was more aerospace oriented, less of a match with faculty. Congratulations to those admitted!

I saw a few anxious posts regarding UW earlier. Please don't panic. I applied early December and was almost certain that I was going to get rejected

To the person with his/her area as Controls, what do you mean by vague email? Can you please elaborate. I have applied in the same area but there is radio silence. :(

I am a control guy. I had received a vague unofficial email from POI in early March and haven't got any official letters till now. Is there any person whose area of concentration is control and got official letter from the ME department?

Got the generic email to check my status in the application portal. Rejected even though I went here for undergrad with pretty good stats.

Has anyone received any mail regarding scholarship results yet?

Applied in January with 2 research experiences, 3 internships, 3 senior design projects, and 4 letters of rec (1 emeritus prof, 1 assistant prof, 1 project scientist, 1 from industry). Received acceptance via email notification, and full offer letter two days later. Super happy!

Has anyone heard anything from either the MS or MEng in mechanical engineering? I went to UMD for undergrad, not the best GPA but recommendations from two UMD professors and one former employer - have research experience

Contacted 3 POIs, but no one replied...got rejection with expectation, whatever... I have better choices...It's their loss not to give me admission...

Master of USC. Rejected anyway

not expected

Was at the Preview Day and got accepted with first year RA-ship. The area is fluid mechanics and ocean engineering.

TTPB: I did the same. I was told that I was not recommended for admission. COVID sucks! :/

I called the Graduate Office, and I was told that I'm not recommended. Since South Korea sub-committee decided earlier, I could notice the decision earlier than the general decision. So x100 sad since this was my dream of dream school that I drunk So-Ju (Korea traditional alcohol) one bottle at once. Hope for good dream on this night. Good luck with others especially for South Korean!

TTPB: from today until 15 April? Sounds like 1+1=2 lol
