<p>Congrats to all the early successes! maestromike, your stats got me going crazy. I mean wow, how does someone get a 3.82 GPA in ChemE? </p>
<p>I’m currently attending UW and its ChemE department is top notch in terms of research. And Seattle is a great area to live in. Would highly reccomend you check it out (sorry that it conflicts with Purdue). </p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone else! I’m still a few years off from applying but you all already have me quite nervous right now…</p>
<p>if you’re nervous now, just wait…</p>
<p>[Undergrad./Master’s Degree University] Rowan University
[Undergrad. Major(s)] Mechanical Engineering
[Undergrad/Grad GPA] 2.88/3.95
[Years of Research Experience] ~ 1.5 years as full time graduate student. 3 - 1st author conference publications.
[GRE Scores] 155/159/5.5
<em>Applying for Ph.D. programs (since I’ll have my Master’s done this Summer)</em>
[Admitted]: Penn State (Full Funding), UMinnesotta
[Deny]: None so far</p>
<p>Accepted to Duke University’s M.S. BME program today. 
Still deciding if I should pursue funded PhD at another school or not. I’m leaning towards Duke since my eventual goal is industry and it is my dream school but downside is that it will be costly! Anyone have any input on funding for Master’s or are deciding themselves between MS or PhD? :/</p>
<p>Applied for ChemE PhD programs, here’s how I did. I don’t think any other acceptances are coming at this point.</p>
<p>[Admitted]: Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, Georgia Tech, Rutgers
[Rejected]: MIT, Princeton, Yale
[Waiting]: UPenn, U Delaware, Columbia</p>
<p>Looking forward to visiting in March :)</p>
<p>Congrats on your acceptances dugmel! Would you mind posting your stats? Just curious, thanks!</p>
<p>according to thegradcafe, chem eng has been pretty dead lately. But I feel like we’re going to get some decisions this week. I REALLY hope I get some good news. That first offer would feel like flying over the moon.</p>
<p>someone let me know if you’re aware of what’s going on over in chemical engineer at:</p>
<p>uc-davis
cu-boulder
umass-a (polymers program)</p>
<p>It’s been a month since my last reject and this suspense is just stressful and awful. I think I’m getting too old for this admissions game of waiting haha …</p>
<p>Hey spectastic, I really hope we hear more in ChemE this week. I still have 5 app’s waiting on decisions.</p>
<p>I haven’t heard anything from Davis yet. I just got back from a recruiting weekend at CU-boulder. They have two more weekends planned in March. There were about 25 recruits there this weekend. Awesome department with great facilities and professors. </p>
<p>This weekend I heard some saying they have already scheduled and/or attended visits for Delaware, Berkeley, MIT, Santa Barbara, UWashington, and Purdue.</p>
<p>Got rejected from York… :(</p>
<p>thank mike, that’s the sort of information I was looking for. so you got into cu-boulder’s first round? you think they’re finalizing their second round applicants for the march visit right about now?</p>
<p>The only other school I’m waiting on at this point is Davis. Amherst’s polymer program is out of my league, I’m afraid. . .</p>
<p>But if I do hear from any of those schools, I’ll be sure to post on here. I might contact the department at Davis tomorrow to try to get some info.</p>
<p>Hey spectastic, Yeah I heard back from Boulder within 10 days of the app deadline. Honestly I don’t know where Boulder is at with sending out offers. I think they said they were hoping for an entering class of about 25 or so this next year and that they had sent out about 60 ish offers so far (don’t quote me on this).</p>
<p>I was rejected from Berkeley (2/19) and Santa Barbara (2/21) this week. Would have been nice but kind of expected.</p>
<p>So that just leaves Davis, Illinois UC, and Delaware that I’m waiting to hear from. (crossing fingers for at least one more offer…)</p>
<p>where did you get those numbers for CU Boulder?</p>
<p>Also what’s your profile look like? eg gpa, gre, research etc.</p>
<p>btw. berkeley and santa barbara both sent out massive amounts of rejection notifications this week. (see result section of thegradcafe). I got a feeling boulder might do the same one of these days. And I don’t know what the hell is taking Davis so long. have you tried contacting their HR or graduate coordinator?</p>
<p>Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
B.S. Electrical Engineering, minor Mathematics
4.0 cumulative GPA
3 CS-oriented internships
Q:168, V:163
Externally funded for an MS through a national laboratory</p>
<p>Applying for: MS Computer Science
Accepted: UC San Diego, UIUC (MCS)
Applied to: Stanford, UCLA, USC, University of Utah, Cornell, Georgia Tech,…</p>
<p>Those numbers were sort of alluded to during my visit to Boulder last weekend. I may have made up the 60 ish offers one but the desired entering class size is pretty sure. A few years back they had an entering class of about 35 and they had difficulty finding projects for everybody. Last year the entering class was about 12 and they said it was pretty small and some professors didn’t end up with a new student even though they had a project.</p>
<p>I have a 3.82 cumulative GPA, 157/161/5.0 (V/Q/AW), and I did two years of undergrad research assisting with a professor followed by an REU at a small start-up company. As well I’ve been a TA for a class and have co-authored two papers. All this is originally posted on the first page of the thread.</p>
<p>I’m well aware of their mass rejections this week (I was a victim, lol). No I haven’t tried contacting any schools of which I am still waiting to hear. Figure what comes will eventually come. Trying to be patient.</p>
<p>yea I’m guessing CU is still processing apps, going over them again and whatnot. Otherwise they would’ve sent out the rejections by now. I’m seriously hoping they haven’t accepted 60 at this point. That would be a disaster for everyone else who haven’t heard from them yet.</p>
<p>Haven’t heard back from GA Tech or Purdue for M.S. … :(</p>
<p>Hey do you know when will Harvard send out its admissions decision?</p>
<p>Well I was wrong, apparently. Accepted to Columbia today. Too bad that department has little money though. Kinda weird since Columbia has excellent departments in so many other fields including chemistry.</p>
<p>I’m also unofficially wait-listed at UPenn and my application is apparently still being considered at UDel. Guess I have to wait a little more before I hear back from every school.</p>
<p>I’m keeping my options open and will evaluate each program as I visit it. It feels pretty good to have this many options though. </p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon - Accepted
Johns Hopkins - Accepted
Georgia Tech - Accepted
Rutgers - Accepted
Columbia - Accepted
UPenn - Wait-listed
U Delaware - Waiting
MIT - Rejected
Princeton - Rejected
Yale - Rejected</p>
<p>Wow quite a list Dugmel. Congrats!</p>
<p>Did you try contacting anybody at UDel? I’m still waiting to hear from them as well… and this week has been rather quiet.</p>
