Emailed by Professor for an interview. Research experience, and 1 independent paper.

Got a call from the head of the department. Absolutely fantastic.

Fully funded, previous exchange period at POI's lab.

Completed a Skype interview on Jan 3rd for fluid mechanics but haven't heard anything else about the admission timeline.

unofficial acceptance from POI, nominated for fellowship

Had two yrs of research experience at university lab. Two international conf. papers. Great LORs. I also specifically indicated that I wanted to continue for PhD and wrote three faculty I wanted to work with, this may have had a positive affect. There is no info on fellows or assistantships yet. I wish the best of luck to everyone applying for all their applications! Keep you morals high, offers continue until mid-March!

Received an invitation for Graduate Recruiting Weekend. The dates clashing with another university's visitation week. If someone is in a similar situation, please let me know so that we can figure out a way around that.

Email from PoI, setting an interview for next week.
