2013 Engineering and Physical Sciences Admission Results

I guess its time to start this thread. Please keep your posts on topic to stats, acceptances, denials, interviews, and updates. Hope this would be like last year's thread 2012 Engineering and Physical Sciences Admission Results

Good Luck

It would be helpful for others if your stats could be posted along with the schools you're applying to.

[Undergrad. University]
[Undergrad. Major(s)]
[Undergrad/Grad GPA]
[Years of Research Experience]
[GRE Scores]
[Prospective Graduate Program]
[Prospective Graduate Schools]

This is NOT a chance thread but rather a results-oriented one so future applicants can learn from your experience.

Thanks beckopotamus! UW is a Phd in Chemical Engineering. I'm so excited by these two early responses. They've made me antsy to hear back from the other six schools to which I've applied.

I applied in chem e phd, and I haven't heard a damn thing. I see people are getting decisions back in thegradcafe, most of which are acceptances, which worries me...

Hey spectastic, which schools did you apply to? I think it's still a bit early in the season so don't get too bummed just yet. I figure, no news is good news. If you haven't heard anything yet then you haven't been rejected!

Just to be sure though, have you double and triple checked your applications to make sure they were complete? Also, I've heard of emails going to spam, have you checked your spam folder?
