Sweet post. Thanks!

Nothing really...

Also applying for mechanical engineering..... Solid Mechanics/biomechanics track. Heard from nothing yet.. I am sending some follow-up emails after application to the POIs, didn't do it before, however, since there was no time at all...

Saw you on Zhihu before...

My profile: Washington University in St. Louis Major: Mechanical Engineering BS+MS, international student, Chinese GPA overall: 3.85 GPA in major: 3.91 GRE (my GRE is a piece of shit): V:150 Q:169 Writing: 4.0 Sth happened on the test date and there is not time at all for compensation plus that I have 17 credits this year, I am a transfer student so my schedule is a bit tight. TOEFL: 112. But did not submit it for many tier one schools kind of regretted SOP: Super strong, been revised by my thesis mentor and the school so many times and every says it's good. LoR: four endowed professors with titles. I didn't ask them to do that but they asked me if I need any letters and they are willing to help me out... So I guess they would be good? Extracurricular activity: the president of Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor society at WashU Research experience: 2-year of FEA experience. My concentrate is biomechanics, FEA, solid/continuum mechanics. But no publication available yet. some manuscripts in process. May have two publication this upcoming semester and I know it's going to be useless at all to the application. Schools applied: All the top ones. Tier-two: Purdue. 20 schools in total. I know my GRE is a shit so I have to apply for more schools to save my application..... Trying to contact the POIs right now, have done 5 only got one template reply. Feeling desperate now... Will continue reading papers of the prospective professors and try contacting them.. Everyone feel free to comment. thx
