Re: Fall 2018 Application to PhD in Civil Engineering Thank you for applying to graduate study at UCLA. We regret to inform you that you are not being offered admission. UCLA receives many more applications than there are student places available. Each of these applications is carefully reviewed by a departmental faculty committee. In this extremely competitive environment, many talented and promising students are not recommended for admission by these committees. We understand that this decision is disappointing, and again, there are many more applications than there are places available. Inquiries about your application or the decision may be submitted in writing to Civil Engineering, Attn: Graduate Admissions Officer. Please accept my best wishes for success in all your future endeavors

I want to tell other prospective PhD students for this and all other us universities that all the stories you hear about "admission committees" is a lie and everything is decided by individual faculties.

Non-thesis option, no funding

It was a great mistake to apply for such a ... university for an international!!!

Has anyone who's been accepted heard back on fellowships/funding?

please reject very very soon if you are not going to rice rnthank you!

Email to check the status, however, future applicants must know this university admission is by individual faculties.

Declined the offer. Good luck to any waitlisted who gets it. I could not decline it earlier since the button just appeared.

Emailed to check website. I am SO excited!! Good luck to all waiting on schools!!!
