eeee1923 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 You'd be quite a strong contender with your stats (I also was a ChemE undergrad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowFairy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Any research experience? Other than that, your credentials are top-notch and you'd be a highly competitive student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc2012 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) 99.99% you're in. 0.01% chance the system accidentally deletes your application or sends you a rejection email by mistake. Edited March 12, 2015 by ComtriS oregonstate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juli Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Any research experience? Other than that, your credentials are top-notch and you'd be a highly competitive student. No research experience, unfortunately. Spent both summers in industry, junior year abroad and senior year trying to pack half of my second major into my one remaining year. So that part is lacking.

eeee1923 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Honestly, internship experience could be leveraged for an MS program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
