  1. It would be absolutely ridiculous if they reject your application just because you applied a few hours late. Still I'd suggest mailing the graduate admissions coordinator and asking him/her if your application was received.
  2. If you're saying that the adcom already recommended you for admission, then I think you're most likely accepted. Still you can't be entirely sure about it unless you receive a formal letter. And these programs can sometimes be bad at communicating with the applicants. So just hold on tight, you're gonna make it! Even I am yet to hear back from my top program.
  3. A month back I applied for a PhD program for admission in spring 2017 in US. I had contacted the POI before applying, we had a skype interview where we discussed my research experience and her projects, all in all it went pretty well. Later on she obtained recommendation letters from my references and she asked them some questions about me. We exchanged a few emails about the admission process after that as well. So there was definitely some kind of rapport between us. Fast forward to present day, I contacted the graduate admissions coordinator regarding my application status and a final admission notification date. And she's been absolutely unresponsive to my email. Now it's getting pretty close to end of year and I am worried that I am not hearing from this program at all. So would it be a good idea to contact the POI regarding my application status? The general consensus over here says that it might come off as weird and a little aggressive. But then I'm getting pretty anxious as it's December already and the professor seemed interested in me.
  4. I mailed one professor inquiring about her research and possibilities of working with her if admitted through the graduate program (in US). We had a nice skype interview and she even obtained recommendations from my previous advisors. All of this happened before even applying for the PhD program. I'm applying for spring and the graduate coordinator says that spring admission at their school is very unusual. So I'm kinda assuming that if the professor likes my profile, she might send out a word for me to the graduate committee. I'm confident I don't have any red flags on my profile, so if she roots for me then I should be able to get in. However, I haven't got any clear statement from her expressing that she will make a mention for me to the admission committee. Would it be a good idea to ask her about this? Because if she doesn't give me a mention, I really won't have any reason to apply to this school. But if she does root for me (and I do get in), then I'm definitely joining this school. And in that case I won't have to apply for fall admissions at other schools and I would save a lot of application money. Hence would it be a good idea to ask her about how she likes my profile and my chances of getting accepted, considering its an unusual time of the year for admissions? I kind of want to have an informal/indirect confirmation from her, without trying to come off as asking for too much. ite
  5. I shall be joining PhD in Materials science & engineering this fall at RPI, Troy. Anyone else heading for Troy, NY?
  6. Has anyone heard from University of Washington MSE? A friend of mine confirmed that they have given out all the decisions this year. I haven't yet heard anything from them. So worried!
  7. I know that Penn State undergrads were the first to receive decisions last year.Everyone else got it after them. Probably that's the case with the accepted guy on the results board. So just relax!
  8. I have applied for RPI. Anything you want to share?
