Email from POIs. Official letter from Graduate School Dean to follow. Elated.

Pretty excited to be put on the waitlist. BU is my top choice, so I am hoping to receive a positive message in April. Just to give people an idea of my application (so then you can figure out your chances), I had an undergrad GPA of 3.74, have 3 published conference papers, one summer REU, two mechanical engineering internships and play Division 1 athletics year round. Best of luck to everyone else, I hope that this info helps you find your target grad school! Also, did not study for the GRE, but should have, and received a 157 QR, 157 VR, 5.5 AW.

Conditionally accepted- need to score a 'B' or higher in two prerequisites to be fully admitted.

PLEASE decline your offer ASAP if you have better offer.

email says the final decision will come out in mid-April. Congrats to all who got accepted and PLEASE decline if you are not going.

E-mail from POI to schedule Skype interview next week.

My dream program. Please tell them you won’t go if you decide not to accept their admission. Thank you so much!

Interviewed on 7th Feb.

$28,000 scholarship offered.

Seems to be a gift for my Valentine's Day :)

Interviewed by committee; got a fellowship offer
