Hi, I am considering the masters route as I haven't gotten an acceptance for PhD programs yet. Did you do a 1 year MS or M.Eng? Would you say it's worth it to do a Masters and were you able to do research during the program?

Also waitlisted at BU for Materials Science & Engineering

I also applied to Materials Science PhD programs but I am interested more in nano/biomaterials for drug delivery applications. I have yet to hear back from UPenn, BU, Minnesota, and Duke. I'm getting nervous as I haven't received any acceptances yet. I'm applying straight from undergrad with a BS in Physics and I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do job-wise if I don't get in this cycle ?

nope

I also applied to Cornell (submitted my app on Dec 1st) but still haven't heard back.

Did you end up hearing from Columbia this week? I'm in the same boat. Received the mass email but no official invite.
