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

Ttpb: i reached out this week and this is the mail "Thank you for your inquiry. The ME Graduate Admissions Committee is currently reviewing application materials. Admission decisions for the ME program will be made between now and mid-April. You will be notified of the decision via email."

Has anyone reached out to the department to see what's going on and why it is taking them so long?

TTPB: can you tell me your area of concentration? Thanks.

Email from the department. One year of guaranteed funding

TTPB: If they have not accepted anyone yet (which I highly doubt), then maybe we stand a chance. Nevertheless, I think it is too late to hear any good news now. I submitted my application end of November last year and they have not given any updates since. And yeah I agree with 'worst mistake to apply at UF' part.

Please, how many people have they gotten back to? To the person admitted in University of Cincinnati, when did you apply? They said admissions start this month. I am hoping to be admitted.

Ttpb. They haven't given admissions yet. I also got a mail recently that my application is being attended to. That I'll get a decision in 30 to 60 days. I think By the end of this month, some admissions should be in

It's sad. They haven't gotten back to me since. And I applied September last year. They've gotten back to others who applied even later. Well, I doubt the chances of been given funding even if I'm miraculously admitted. So, I am closing this book. I have other prospective chances

Ignore the Wait listed Any one heard anything from the ME Department? Its almost March 15 and I haven't heard a single thing from them.

TTPB: I agree with the poster below. They have not started the review process and never reply to any mail. Worst mistake to apply at UF.

TTPB: It is possible but highly unlikely because most of the application process is handled by the department. University Graduate Office essentially just double check your admissibility, but the decision to admit you lies with your intended department. Unless there is a discrepancy in your application, this process is just a formality.

Ignore the waitlist. TTPB: I emailed them a couple of days ago and they responded with a generic email, part of which said 'we do not admit unfunded students into our phd program'. So, I guess they will not process anything unless a faculty recommends an applicant.

Ignore waitlist. Have you guys heard anything from UF? My portal still shows pending processing. When I called admissions their answer was that they don't even know when they'll BEGIN processing, which means they have not even started processing. I don't know whats going on. This seems so deceiving.

TPPB: That's a great sign, it means you have already moved to the next stage of selection. I haven't gotten the official transcript request yet, so I'm feeling a bit nervous. When did you complete your application?
