Finally after weeks of anxiety and sleeplessness, I received my first admit for MS in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University. Neither my top priority nor my safest bet, but it's the one I would happily attend.

The email mentioned that they received an "unusually" high number of applications for an "unusually" limited number of openings for the fall 2024 class

Accepted without funding. It was mentioned in the email that master's students are usually not offered funding

Did not submit GRE.

Had previously interviewed. The interview did not go very well, so expected this. Wasn't a great fit. All the best to whoever got in!

*IGNORE THE INTERVIEW. Has anyone heard back from the department or got any open house invitation?

Got acceptance email. Invited to PACE. No funding yet.

Professor took interview. Gave funding with RA

Got acceptance, but no funding yet.

Got my Bachelors from a German University. Had a 3 month internship and a 3 month thesis project at a research company in Germany. No GRE. Arizonan resident. Got told that I must complete 1 extra undergraduate course before the end of the first academic year. Any questions please post it in the comment.

UG 3.2, MS 3.9, both from outside US. 6 patents, 2 first author publications, 2 conference presentations. 4 yrs experience as CTO of my own startup in related field. Was interviewed in 1st week of January and got acceptance in 1st week of February.
