Anyone applying to Nuclear Engineering programs?

<p>Is anyone here applying to Graduate Nuclear Engineering programs?</p>

<p>Not by a long shot, but I do have a close friend applying to Nuclear Engineering. I don't know if this is at all relevant to you, but she's already gotten into NC State, been accepted to a masters program at Georgia Tech (she applied for a PhD), and has been invited for an interview at Michigan (they're flying her out). She hasn't heard from MIT - not sure what other programs she's applying to.</p>

<p>In terms of stats, she had very good grades (I'm guessing 3.9 GPA?) at a big state U (not an elite public, but a respectable one) as an astrophysics major. I know she worked at a lab last summer and had an internship with NASA the summer before. Her GRE was 800M/580V. Probably excellent recommendations. No publications. Didn't spend a lot of time on her apps</p>

<p>I hope some of that was helpful.... it might have nothing to do with you, but I figure acceptances/stats are on a lot of people's mind this time of year, so I figured it was worth a shot.</p>

<p>Hey ICargirl, thank you so much for the information. My brother has applied to MS/PhD in Nuclear Engineering at several schools too. He has gotten acceptance from Texas A&M only so far. He is waiting on Michigan. He was told that they would let him know of admission decision next week. Does that mean that he is probably not goint to get in????</p>

<p>My brother is also waiting to hear from MIT. Do you know when they are going to let her know???</p>

<p>My brother's stats is not as impressive as your friends. He went to a small private college in Illinois, GPA 3.9, double major in Math and Physics, GRE: 420 V, 700 Q, 5 W, no publications, one year of summer research at his own school. </p>

<p>Did you friend apply to Berkeley???</p>

<p>I doubt your brother will get into MIT, judging by his GRE score and his lack of research and publications. Congratulations on him getting into Texas A&M though, very good school.</p>
