@GeorgeC07 I may be a little too late to post if you've already made you're decision! I wanted to provide some extra info on PSU. I've previously done research there. I really like the campus. "Happy Valley" is beautiful, and great if you're into the outdoors. If you are interested in reactor physics or neutronics in general there are two new professors at PSU worth contacting/checking out: Brown and Walters. If you're interested in detection, Flaska just joined from UMich. The department is really growing this year in number of faculty, and there should be a lot of new projects to work on. It's definitely worth contacting some of these professors if you aren't dead set on NCSU. As for NCSU, I have never visited their campus. However, there program looks really strong! They are a big part of CASL. Best of luck.

@lordofnumpties yes, that is for the PhD. I submitted in early January for Georgia Tech.

@lordofnumpties Thanks! I heard back form UW Madison a few days ago, officially admitted. Although they seem to be stingy in offering funding :/ I think the department is similar to Georgia Tech, where a considerable number of admitted students pay out-of-pocket for the first semester at least. Not something I am interested in. @GeorgeC07 Congrats on the offers! I received an email saying I have been accepted to MIT, although at the same time as all the other people posting on the results section. There is an NSE grad visit weekend March 17. Therefore, if you don't receive news by around early March, its safe to say you are on the waiting list. Best of luck to everyone! PS. I agree with GeorgeC07. I have been posting my admit results with no GPA/GRE info. I am paranoid of being identified by grad schools! However, once I get all my results/make a decision, I will publish all my info in a summary thread for future generations of would-be nuclear engineers to look at.

Hi all, I received an email from UW Madison notifying me that the NEEP department had "recommended me for admission", and that my application had been passed on to the graduate school for final review. Problem is, I received that email nearly 2 weeks ago. I've met all minimum GPA requirements, so there shouldn't be any hiccups. Anyone else on the same boat? Anyone hear back from the graduate office yet?

Hi lordofnumpties. I'm applying to NE PhD programs for Fall 2017. I've done my best to update the grad cafe results section as I hear back from programs! Yes, I also received a similar email from UCB. No, the email is unlikely to mean a rejection. I assume they would clearly say so otherwise. Beyond that, I have no idea what this email signifies about my likelihood of getting accepted. Perhaps UCB just really wants to fill up their MEng program and is spamming us. I continue to be optimistic!
