For poster below, may I know where you checked your application status? I received no email notification for either acceptance nor rejection since I submitted my application. Thanks!

received the rejection letter at 2 am, wtf!!!

General rejection email. Sent at 2:00 AM wtf Don't care, I already got in my 2nd top choice, just hoping for the 1st

Anybody got any respond ( accept or reject) from this department?

Anyone whose application portal still says 'To Dept For Review'? They've sent out a bunch of rejections and based on previous years gradcafe records, I haven't seen anyone getting an acceptance after the March rejections. Should I lose hope for GATech? :(

Hey. Has anyone heard from the University of Delaware chemical engineering department? My application status doesn't show anywhere on the application status page.

To the poster below, Hopkins campus visit is on this week, so I guess they've sent out plenty of admissions. I'm not sure if they will release more. Also, one of my friend got admitted into Columbia on early of Jan. Hope it helps.

To the poster below: Thank You very much for sharing your experiences in such a detailed way. I was looking to get details on this, and your post is quite helpful. P.S.1.: It's funny that you had to carry my typo in "circumstances" throughout your answer, the school's letter wrote it just right! :P :P :P P.S.2.: Suprised to see that senior students are still active here, this will be a great thing for the coming students. :) :) :)

To the posters below: Things might have changed but I am sharing my personal experiences (admitted for fall 2014 and attended UD). The offer letter I got contained the exact same phrase (admission offer is contingent upon the attendance of ELI/ITA program, and that only under special circumstances will one be granted absence from this). Actually, the completion of ELI/ITA program is the graduate school requirement for any international students with teaching duties. So, technically every international PhD student in Chemical Engineering department has to take the program anyway because you have teaching requirement. However they were lenient with the "special circumstances" back in 2014. One of my classmate was not able to attend summer ELI/ITA program because she could not get her F-1 visa issued by the start date of ELI/ITA program. However, she attended from fall of 2014 without any problems and she completed ELI/ITA program in the following winter (program in winter is actually shorter, only 2 weeks instead of 1 month). Just explain your circumstances, and the department and the graduate school officials will understand and grant you an exemption from taking the program in summer, but in the following winter. FYI. Actually the ELI/ITA program gives you a great head start. You get to meet some of your international classmates during the program (I met three of my classmates). Also, you can contact your POI ahead of time and meet with them and their students.

To the poster below: Are you planning to attend UDel? If Yes, will it be possible for you to attend this program? I will be finishing my master's in July itself, thus won't be able to go in such a short time.

To the poster below: I received the same email. Kind of funny to make the offer contingent.

I just posted the poster below, and a few minutes later I received the rejection email haha. 4 rejection in a row quite hurts.

Has any international got PhD offers from Columbia or Johns Hopkins?

Has anyone heard the decision yet?

Standard rejection, mostly due to low GPA (7.04/10.0)

Generic Letter.

To the poster below: then i guess it means your application is currently under consideration. Best of luck to you :)

For posters below, I looked at my status checklist and it said "to Dept for review", is this where you checked your status?

Rejected through ApplyWeb (no email). Master’s from top 15 program and two years of research experience, one publication, also with awarded scholarship. Shocking!!

To the poster below: Where did you see the decision posted? Is it displayed in the application status in the view checklist pop-up in the apply web account?
