Good afternoon everyone, I am a senior (May 2016) in Chemical Engineering who has a 3.56/4.00 GPA, and GRE scores of Total: 321 V:163 Q:158 A:4.0 Although I have no publications or conference proceedings, I have had multiple research experiences, including a semester in catalysis research, and two years of work in a industrial R+D setting on chemical reactions (This was full time during the summer/part time during the school year and still ongoing). My recommenders are two of my professors who will write strong letters of recommendations and I have researched with them in the past, and my supervisor, who has his PhD in a related field and will also write me a strong letter. I am applying to the following schools, with an research interest in Catalyst Development and Engineering, and General Reaction Kinetics. All of the schools have at least one lab/professor who is working in one of these areas. They are: UT AustinU of HoustonAuburnU of AlabamaU Southern CaliforniaU South CarolinaVirginia Commonwealth UniversityTexas A&MSanta BarbaraOregon State UniversityUniversity of Florida Let me know if there is anything I should try and do before I send in applications. I will be contacting labs in Late September. Thanks!
