we made it

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.

Interview on 29th January. Clashes with one of my MSc exams!! AGH!

Currently studying chemical engineering

Master's GPA = 3.815, 1 mid-author pub, 2 posters, 1 yr ugrad and 1.5 yr master's research experience. I'm super stoked because I have like 5 rejections already and this is my only invitation so far. Great program with plenty of relevant POIs. To the int'l student who posted previously, please PM me @Microbot. I would like to discuss regarding the interview. Thanks!

3 years of research experience, goldwater honorable mention, applied for NSF GRFP, very excited!
