  1. Hi everyone! I am from a small asian country where there aren't any job opportunities for PhD's in the market. I just got accepted into my top choice PhD program in the US. My research area is either going to be Polymers or electrochemistry. I'm really happy about this because I really like both fields an I truly enjoy doing research. However, I'm worried that I will not be able to find a job once I'm done and I'll have to got back to a country where I can't find a job with my degree. I don't want to spend the next 5 years of my life on a degree that I won't be able to use. Could you please let me know what the job market looks like for an internaional student in Engineering with a PhD? Thank you!

  3. I was in the same boat earlier this week. I didn't hear from 5 programs that I applied to in Dec. I reached out to all of them this week. 2 told me I'm waitlisted, 1 told me I'll get my rejection letter Friday, and 2 ignored me. So... it depends.
  4. So after reaching out to a program, they told me that I'm on their waitlist. Historically, the admits to this program are about 30% of the number of offers ( it's online). My question is, is this a bad thing or a good thing for me? I'm trying to make sense of this to see if I should lose hope or not.
  5. All the results on the results page are rejects except for 1 who everyone says is a troll.
