Mechanical Engineering Graduate School Admission Results

Master of USC. Rejected anyway

not expected

Full department fellowship for 5 years. Home department is ME but entire work will be at the Robotics Institute. Research and faculty: Human-Robot Interaction and Haptics. Bakground: BSEE in Japan and MSME at top university in the US. No publication. Hope to see everyone in the Fall.

Was at the Preview Day and got accepted with first year RA-ship. The area is fluid mechanics and ocean engineering.

Applied in Dec. 2020, just received an email told me that I was put on the waitlist. Didn't have any interview or contact before. "The committee was impressed with your qualifications; however, the number of applicants we can admit is limited. As a result of the intense competition and limited space, we would like to place you on the waitlist for admission to the PhD program."

TTPB: MechE department emailed back today: "We should be releasing decisions within the next few days. Thank you for your patience!"

TTPB: I did the same. I was told that I was not recommended for admission. COVID sucks! :/

no funding.

Non-thesis, aerospace concentration

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."

The deadline had been extended for about a month so I assume that results will come out pretty late. Has anyone reached out to see where they are in the process?
