Graduate School Admission Results

Had Skype interview with professor of the committee. He notified me of the acceptance after asking me some questions and said the official letter will be sent shortly. Really excited! It was my first choice.

decent GPA and GRE, 2 years research experience in an unrelated field in undergrad, no pubs. 2 great LORs, 1 pretty good LOR.

I got an email asking for my fall grades and they told me they will have a decision for me by the end of the week.

One pub, multiple pubs in review/prep, one national fellowship, and one prestigious undergraduate scholarship.

$27k stipend. 3 yrs of research experience in Theoretical Chemistry. Summer Internship in UW Madison and Max Planck Institute, Germany.

we made it

Expected cuz I didn't get an acceptance 2 weeks ago, but still held some small amount of hope, lol. No pubs, 2 years research experience in AMO.

After rejected from MS-CS, I got an email to shift my application to MECPS. Got accepted there but will not likely join when you have CMU Admit. ;)

I was contacted by a professor last Friday. A brief Skype chat(10 min) was fixed for Tuesday(03/27). Interview went well (the professor began by saying that I was waitlisted and they are interviewing candidates on their waitlist(I wasn't aware of the fact I was waitlisted before)) but the professor did not specify a date for the decision. I was really surprised when I received the offer yesterday. It feels hard-earned after so many rejections! I will be taking the offer. For those who haven't received an offer yet and the people who will be seeing this next season, it's not over until you receive the official rejection. So don't give up hope even if it's too late! GPA:7.0/8.0(distinction in my university). LOR's: I don't know how strong they were. Three summer internships and a Bachelor's and Master's thesis (Ours is a dual degree).No publications, no presentations. My project advisor is one of the pioneers of the field. All in all I feel that the admission process is a big black box and no one really knows which factors count and which don't.

Got accepted! I had already taken two graduate medical physics courses here as an undergraduate senior. The professors were able to see I was a driven student, which gave me an advantage. I am very excited!

The faculty is really receptive and helpful once accepted in the program.
