  1. ligtyears---Whr r u stuying? i just want to know whr ur professor is teaching? i hope ND will be a gud choice
  2. thanks for replying.. what u said is correct, i should have asked abt this things before . but my other offer is from RPI, but it is unfunded. SO i really dont have a choice. so i accepted it around April 13th. i had apped to 6 univ around jan 31st.. but professor research matches with my res interests very much. but i cant see any faculties from ND anywhere (atleast in mechanical eng.) any idea abt normal jobs and faculty jobs for a phd guy from ND..
  3. i have accepted an offer from univ of notre dame for phd in mechanical engineering field? also prof research work matches my field of interest very much . but How gud is this univ for a phd in mech/engineering? will it make my job-hunting easy (after phd)? and the prof is a recent pass-out from purdue..not that experienced one... any info you have abt this univ is welcome... please chip in with ur comments...
  4. i got into ND...i will be going there. mech phd...decided not to take rpi offer.... any1 else going here(nd)....
  5. i am an international student..i got 1460 in GRE..i don't think GRE has much use for US students...U guys already know english well...No need for antonyms and synonyms...also quants is also silly to take for a BS guy who has gud enough GPA. in my country , those who take gre really mug up words in barron and all..usually they get top scores. I dnt think an American student ,with all their distractions and the seeming stupidity of this test, will be able to do like this. (mug up and really devote themselves for this test ) However IF internationals are being evaluated using GRE scores, i dnt think it can be avoided for American students. (unfair it seems)
  6. sorry i didn't get u? phone call to whom ? and for what? :| dnt tell me to ask him to call president 2 give me admission if they look at recommenders profile, it will be helpful as his many research projs and his book published by CRC/ taylor n franscis were with that president only....and all that will be evident from his CV, publications....
  7. Hi there one of my recommenders close research partner has become the president of a top 10 graduate college in USA :shock: (i'm from mech...but i think it is top 10 in many fields)..they have written a book together, a NASA proj together..., numerous papers together.. but in my SOP i have not mentioned the name of the president-to-be...since i have even applied to that college [ ] feels very sad... my chances would have been multiplied if i had mentioned his name....as then they wld understand that my recommender is a trustworthy person.(my education till now is from a 3rd country.) .he has given me a good reco also is there anything I can do....? shld i sent a letter to graduate program telling to add one more sentence in my SOP?
  8. matguy - u applied for Phd or MS?
  9. hello any1 interested in replying? plz help....
  10. Hi evry1 i got a phd admit with funding. i am an international student (from a 3rd world country..with a name eerily similar to the name of the state in which ND is located ) dept. fellowship says - " a taxable stipend of $23,000 for 12 months, plus a non-taxable tuition and fees scholarship. " will this be enough to live by in southbend.?? i dnt have much money with me. i heard its a republican belt --so how are the ppl towards asians? BTW how gud is this university for mechanical engineering?
