I'm an incoming grad student hoping to live in a complex close to campus... If anyone is looking for a housemate please let me know! I'm not really sure how to go about finding people to live with.

Oh, as long as you’re happy with your choice! What kind of research are you interested in?
Yup! It wasn't my top choice but it's the only PhD program where I've received a definitive acceptance. I also really loved the dept and clicked with the current students when I visited, so I think it's a good fit. I would love to go to Cornell but it would cost me $65K for one year. Doesn't seem worth it.
My interests are mostly semiconducting thin films and the like. At UD I would be using MBE to make III-V semiconductors, mostly for photovoltaics.
What will you be working on at UC Davis?

Yep, UC Davis
how about you?
Nice!!! Pretty much a done deal with University of Delaware for me. Only got accepted to Cornell for the MEng program and I'm not interested. And UConn is trying to play mind games or something and I'm kinda over it haha. Ready to just commit and get it over with

SO has everyone decided where theyre going yet??

Hey Guys,
What would you say about UIUC vs Cornell MatSE PhD? I have found potential advisors at both places. Wanted a bit of advice from my fellow MS&E folks.
Please let me know your views
Did you get accepted to Cornell already? I applied to the same program but I haven't heard anything from them :/

Update: Got accepted to U Delaware yesterday with a full financial package! Not a highly ranked program.. but WHEW at least I'm going SOMEWHERE, ya know? Very relieved. Visit weekend is next weekend

Bumping this post because I got accepted to a PhD program and am visiting next weekend. From reading this post it seems like Newark is similar to my undergrad college town (small town in upstate NY). So I think I will be either very comfortable or very bored haha. Anyway, is anyone else going next weekend for visit day? Also any places I should check out while I'm there?

Everyday I check my mail, way beyond 5pm in their respective time, because you know, maybe they work late. It's so crushing as another day passes, constantly questioning your self worth(don't!). but today, nearly 8pm on their time, I got an acceptance. Relief! It feels good, hope you all get the same feeling soon.
That's so exciting! Congrats! Where did you get accepted to?

My friend just got accepted to RPI for materials and my other friend got rejected from UMich for chemistry (inorganic) last week. I still haven't heard from anyone. Fingers crossed!!

Best of luck to everyone... Just wondering, has anyone heard from anywhere yet??

I don't have any publications or experience specifically in MSE. I don't know if I'm out on a limb applying to PhD MSE instead of chemistry. MSE research is just so much cooler than pure chem, which can be pretty boring. My undergrad school is a SUNY and I don't know how that will be perceived. Freaking out just a little lol

Yes! I have joined that group as well. It seems to be mostly undergrads looking for someone to fill their lease. Not ideal but worth a shot. It also seems that some of the complexes have roommate matching/waiting services. I'm driving down on Saturday to check out a couple places in person!
