Hello All, I would like to know the exact reason for rejections from the universities that I applied to. Does mailing to the graduate department be of any help in this matter?

Hello all, I was skeptical of applying to Rutgers University-New Brunswick for a Ph.D. in Materials Science. How well is it known for materials science besides the ranking factor (in terms of research carried out and jobs after graduation)? Any leads would be much appreciated as the deadline is around the corner.

Thank you for your opinion. It greatly helps to reduce the anxiety when you have some assurance from others. Good luck to you as well. Hope that we both get into the desired universities.

I have two LORS from my university Professors and one LOR from my mentor at Unilever R&D centre.

Two International publications First Generation student. Trying for Ph.D. in Materials Science and I have applied to the following Universities - 1. Rice University 2. University of Michigan Ann Arbor 3. Purdue University 4. University of Minnesota 5. Michigan State University 6. Texas A&M 7. North Carolina State University 8. Rennsalaer Polytechnic Institute 9.
