<p>Anyone hear from Stanford Chemical Engineering PhD?</p>
<p>has anyone heard from stony brook university BME or city college of new york also for BME??????</p>
<p>accepted to UCLA civil eng. M.S. found out yesterday.</p>
<p>have not heard from USC or UCI yet. havent even submitted stanford app yet... lol</p>
<p>PhD Chemical Engineering Programs</p>
<p>my acceptances:
CU-boulder
UVA
Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>still waiting on 7 schools... has anyone heard about Cornell?</p>
<p>kids that I go to school with have heard back from:
UC-Berk
Stanford
UC-SB
UT-Austin
Minn.
U.Del.
Northwestern
Michigan
Wisco
Ohio State</p>
<p>cheers!</p>
<p>That's a lot of schools you applied to!</p>
<p>Ph.D. Chemical Engineering:</p>
<p>Accepted:
Cornell - Jan 29 (by e-mail, hard copies arrived this week)</p>
<p>Waiting:
MIT
CalTech
UC Berk
Stanford
UCSB</p>
<p>Heard from another thread that someone was accepted to MIT's Chem E program, I've also heard someone was accepted to Berk's. I'm getting kind of nervous now.</p>
<p>is there still a chance to get accepted after you hear someone else getting invites? Do schools typically aim to fill their classes the first time around do you think?</p>
<p>I have the same question. From what I've heard, schools send out invites to people they KNOW they want right away. Other applicants are reviewed further and maybe their invites are delayed a few week.s</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>Santa Barbara just contacting me notifying me of my rejection.</p>
<p>This is not particularly surprising as my application arrived the Monday after the deadline because I missed the FedEx pick-up time. In addition, one of my LORs arrived... probably 2 days ago, partially my fault, partially my recommender's fault. Oh well right?</p>
<p>i'm still surprised given the kind of stats you have. do you live in the states?</p>
<p>3321-</p>
<p>yeah, that sentence I wrote does sound like I'm a international though, haha</p>
<p>I think what happened is they set aside my application because it was incomplete. When the final piece was received, they probably had already made all their selections and did not review the app. I have no idea. It was my safety school so I was very surprised they rejected me.</p>
<p>MS Environmental Engineering Applicant</p>
<p>Accepted

U Illinois-Urbana Champaign</p>
<p>Still waiting on MIT.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon Chemical Engineer PhD - Accepted on Feb 5th via Email.</p>
<p>So far I am into (for ChemE PhD):</p>
<p>Minnesota
CMU
UPenn</p>
<p>People I know have been accepted to:</p>
<p>Caltech
Wisconsin
Berkeley
Princeton</p>
<p>I haven't gotten a single rejection yet though. Most places made first round choices of candidates, and are waiting around and seeing who gets fellowships (NSF, DOE, etc). I doubt I'll hit a fellowship so I probably won't get into the ChemE schools that have gotten back to some of my friends already.</p>
<p>As I recall, you usually don't get Fellowship notifications until fairly late in the acceptance process. They usually don't send out rejection notices until considerably later than acceptances since I guess they like to keep a stockpile in case nobody accepts or something.</p>
<p>If you do manage a fellowship then you should definitely notify all of the programs you applied to since that could easily bump you into the acceptances bin.</p>
<p>So not applying to an NSF, DOE, etc fellowship hurts other applicants? I can see how that would be the case, given that a school would much rather have someone else pay for your research. On the other hand, a lot of people don't have a specific research project in mind going into graduate school, and that, I think, makes applying for an NSF or DOE fellowship somewhat difficult.</p>
<p>I did not apply to any graduate fellowships for exactly that reason. My undergraduate research varied from separation processes to isotope geochemistry, neither of which I which to pursue in graduate school. Hence, I did not feel comfortable applying for a fellowship.</p>
<p>I hope this doesn't significantly hurt my chances...</p>
<p>It shouldn't hurt your chances as you won't be notified of your fellowship until after decisions are in, most likely. However, you winning a fellowship will help your lab/school as the money that was supposed to be used to support you can either be used to support another student or purchase additional equipment for the lab. For example, we had one guy that was on a NDSEG fellowship just graduate, but we won't be able to replace him since there's no money for it.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any word of mouth about PhD ChE acceptances at the following places? Truly, I can't complain too much because I've gotten a few acceptances, but I'm wondering what the deal is on the seven schools I haven't heard back from yet :</p>
<p>Yale
Colorado School of Mines
University of Arizona
Rice
Cornell
Northwestern (pretty sure they have let a bunch of people know and are doing visits soon...meh)
Davis</p>
<p>Wondering why I got into my highest rated school and not any of the other ones.</p>
<p>dabears,</p>
<p>I'm getting impatient with the waiting also. Every day this week I have been constantly checking my e-mail and when one arrives, I'm really ****ed off when it has nothing to do with grad school.</p>
<p>On that note, I know for a fact that Cornell is accepting ChemE's already as I was accepted last week. That's all I know.</p>

<p>lol, same here.</p>
<p>Anyone here going to the UMN mechanical engineering recruitment weekend?</p>
<p>Has anyone heard anything at all this week? I've been checking my e-mail every chance I get, but am always disappointed. Anyone know statistics on what day they usually notify applicants? Seems like Mon Tues Wed, so far, are not those days.</p>
