  1. Hi all. I just finished my first year as a PhD student in chemical engineering. I am generally satisfied with my program and school. But I am seriously considering to quit my PhD with MS if possible. This is mainly because of my girlfriend. She is currently working at West Coast as software engineer, and she cannot find a job in the state where my school is. After long discussion between us, it seems that most ideal option is to quit my PhD and to re-apply for schools near her for PhD. Since I have done my first year study with some directions of my research, I would like to quit with MS. Before I actually talk to my PhD advisors on this, I want to ask whether anyone has a similar experiences. There are two things that worry me: 1. whether the department keeps providing stipends or not. 2. whether the relationship with my advisor becomes sour or not I will appreciate any comments on this

  3. Recently, I get offers from Texas A&M for PhD program in chemical engineering. While I was reading the letter, I was confused by the benefits provided. I am offered a state contribution allowance to apply towards my medical insurance premium. Does this mean I have to buy my own insurance and some part of insurance is paid by the department? Or, the department provides entire medical insurance? Anyone knows about it? Thanks
  4. same here. I still have not heard back from five schools I applied, so I emailed them on my status. Two even did not reply me back, and others told me that they would make decisions before April 15th.... I don't know how I can bear the remaining days till April 15th
  5. Same hear. I applied 10 schools, and I got one admission and 4 rejections. But I still did not hear back from the rest of schools I applied. I am getting so impatient. Should I email the department to ask for my status?
  6. I am still waiting. I emailed the program coordinator last month. She replied and said the decision would be emailed near March. But, it is almost the end of third week of March, and I did not hear from the department...
