Official 2010 Engineering Graduate School Results

<p>ha. Just realized I clicked on the wrong board. oops.</p>

<p>Got accepted by Cornell and Georgia Tech.</p>

<p>Got provisionally accepted to Mechanical Engineering at UCSD. Does anyone know about the rate receiving financial assistance at UCSD? Does being provisionally accepted give me no chance to receive financial assistance?</p>

<p>Just got accepted to Illinois, and withdrew my app from Caltech. Looks like I’m done.</p>

<p>Just got an offer of RA/TA from UCSD. I’m very happy!</p>

<p>Lol Lizzard you’re crazy</p>

<p>Did anyone hear back from MIT yet? When my application was complete they sent me an E-mail saying a decision would be made by the end of February… does this mean I’m not getting in?</p>

<p>I heard back from MIT in EECS a few weeks ago (and I’m pretty sure they’ve sent all their rejections and admits). Thus, I’m guessing you’re not talking about EECS, you’ll need to specify what program you’re talking about. </p>

<p>As for when schools send decisions, check the results tracker at thegradcafe.com</p>

<p>Computer Engineer here.</p>

<p>Got accepted by U Colorado, U Maryland, Purdue, and U Wisconsin.
Had an interview yesterday from a prof at Northwestern.
Still waiting on U Illinois, U Michigan, and Northeastern.
Rejected from MIT and Stanford.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone, I’m still anxious about my final schools.</p>

<p>Received letter for M.Eng. from Cornell BME department today saying I have been recommended for admission. Does this pretty much mean I’m in?</p>

<p>Stats for those who are curious: Undergrad BME, 3.4 GPA, GRE (780Q,550V,5.5AW)</p>

<p>EE:
VLSI / Digital Systems technical area
Accepted to MS/Phd. -> Berkeley, CMU and Cornell.
Rejected from Stanford, MIT.
Waiting on Caltech, Michigan - I don’t care anyway (caltech is great but too small for me, UMich to far north/cold/and I dont like the fact that the engineering buildings are away from the main campus)</p>

<p>My decision would come down to Berkeley, Cornell, or CMU… any suggestions??? Funding is covered in all three.</p>

<p>Go visit! They are all pretty different. I really liked Cornell and Berkeley (didn’t apply to CMU)</p>

<p>has anyone heard back from MIT, Michigan, UIUC, Berkeley, Caltech for master in mechanical Engineering?</p>

<p>Undergrad- Graduating Spring '10
School: Northwestern
GPA: 3.61
Major: Materials Science and Engineering +
Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics
MSE GPA: 3.808</p>

<p>Research experience:

  • Two years of research in my group at Northwestern - Paper in JACS (first-author from contributing institution), working on 3 more first-author papers, including a potential PRL. Collaborations with Ford Motor Company, researchers from UCLA and the Max-Planck Institute.
  • Summer research at MIT in the group of the #1 professor in the field.
  • Led a group that wrote a 300 page nanoscience textbook for 7th-9th graders.
  • TA’ed GenChem for two years.
  • President of largest cultural organization on campus. </p>

<p>Applied to MSE at: Northwestern, MIT
Accepted to both!</p>

<p>Also accepted to Teach for America in the Mississippi Delta</p>

<p>I think I have the lowest GPA to ever be accepted to MIT DMSE … lol. I think I’m extremely extremely lucky - the results for MIT DMSE have been going out for a month now and I just got in. </p>

<p>Good luck to all you hoping for grad school! It’s not over till it’s over.</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything from the Chemical and Bio-molecular engineering department at the University of Illinois?</p>

<p>Undergrad: UCSB</p>

<p>Degree / Major: BS / Mechanical Engineering</p>

<p>GPA Overall: 3.56
GPA Major: 3.58
GPA final 2 years: 3.70</p>

<p>GRE 1 (Verb./Quan./AW): 380/680/4.0
GRE 2 (Verb./Quan./AW): 340/750/4.0</p>

<p>TOEFL IBT: 102 (out of 120) - had to take it because I’m a non-citizen and ~2 schools wanted it, but didn’t have to submit it to other 18 schools since I got a BS degree from UCSB.</p>

<p>Experience: have been working for a #1 contract based MEMS manufacturing company in the US since Senior year at college as an intern, and got hired as a full-time employee as soon as graduated from school in June 2009.</p>

<p>Note: Final goal is PhD in ME (in MEMS or NEMS). I don’t have any research experience and my scores aren’t the best, so I was expecting lots of rejections. Besides, I will have to go back to my country if I don’t get accepted by any schools. So, I decided to apply to many schools (20 schools). My idea was that these are all good schools so I’d be happy even if only one school accepted me. Financial aid wasn’t a big factor for me, so I think if UCB rejects me, I’ll most likely to go to UIUC.</p>

<p>@asian75,
I got accepted by UIUC for MS in ME on March 4.
I also applied to all schools you mentioned, but for PhD (all for ME).
MIT and Caltech rejected me yesterday (March 17), but haven’t heard from other schools yet.</p>

<p>I applied to 8 schools, rejected by MIT and CMU, accepted by John Hopkins University for Civil Engineering MS program. To be honest, MIT hurt me the most. I was my dream for last few years, work so hard just to get there.
Till now all other 5 haven’t send me anything. Do you think it should be the end for me? Many school done with there decisions already, and they are sending out the reject letter.
Is there any body hear anything from University of Virginia, U of Maryland, Vanderbilt University, University of Texas at Austin, and Texas A&M yet?</p>

<p>ogeni2000,</p>

<p>I got rejected by UT Austin like last month.
If you still haven’t heard, I think that means they are still considering your application, so don’t give up your hope… but most likely without financial aid at this moment.</p>

<p>I got rejected by MIT, too. You said you worked so hard to get in. Do you mind sharing your stats? I am thinking about reapplying within 2 years and I want to know if you had excellent scores and still didn’t get in.</p>

<p>Thank khwook, congratulation for ur success with UIUC, it is very good school
I think I was good then everything turned upside down. I think the main reason could come from my GRE and stupid TOEFL requirement.
I graduated from University of Texas at San Antonio, average school with small Civil Engineering department.
General GPA about 3.80, major GPA 3.86
I took GRE 3 times but the last score, also the highest is 1270, 800M, 470 V, 3.0W
Got 3 years of research assistant and lab experience in Concrete material, one paper submited but haven’t publish with 2 of my professors.
Officer of ASCE at UTSA, member of national transportation research board.
I submitted my application right on the dead line and I didn’t take the TOEFL test then all other schools I apply gave me a hard time, and my application didn’t complete for those until February.
I think if I didn’t have to take GRE again and again and submit all of my document earlier I could get in.
Just don’t have enough experience to act fast.
I’m so upset with myself now</p>
