Mechanical Engineering Graduate School Admission Results

Offered admission + 4-year fellowship. Will decline the offer due to already committing elsewhere.

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

TTPB: My specialization is in additive manufacturing of energetic materials for propulsion. The faculty member is a new assistant professor whose group will be working at Zucrow. I will probably accept a competing offer instead. If you've not heard back from Purdue ME faculty, you will probably not be admitted to Ph.D. but could be admitted to MS. In the latter case, reach out to professors and see if you can get TA/RA funding for MS, and then continue as Ph.D. student. Best of luck!

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. :(

Got an email to check portal.

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?

Received an invitation for an interview to the M.Eng program at Cornell. The director and assistant director of the program were both present. They asked general questions about my resume, experience, and SOP. Received the offer of admissions on the spot. So exciting!!!

Has anyone received any mail regarding scholarship results yet?

Hello candidate below who got acceptance from Purdue Mechanical Phd, can you please tell what is your specialization or lab or professor? I am still waiting to hear from Purdue, no communication yet.

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

Hello, anyone heard from grad school yet concerning decisions ?

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...

TTPB: ME Master rejection, are you non-thesis? Did you apply with a concentration?

To the poster from Carnegie Mellon University. Please, send me an email at emzybam@yahoo.com I'll like to connect with you. Thanks
