Hey guys! sorry for not keeping up on here, I was accepted to attend SFSU for a chemistry masters and I accepted. But I hope everyone gets in! And I havent heard from them yet but I have to check my mail still.... Good luck to everyone

adamlau I hope you get in! ihmcguinness- How did you find out you were in? Did they call/email/ send a letter? And what are you studying in the leap program? And thanks for answering our questions!

adamlau, Although I am a chemistry major, my field isn't very close to engineering. I am more prepared to be an organic chemistry. The type of classes I took don't really fit what MatSci degree is looking for and there is a lot I still need to learn in order to be successful in the field. But I did try to apply to one of the PhD for matsci and that was UCR but I havent heard from them. So I am just playing the waiting game right now. How about you, did you apply anywhere else?

Maybe this should be in the waiting it out topic, But has anyone heard from any of the UCR engineering programs?????

Adamlau, I know what you mean about being able to find others to share information about the LEAP program, there isn't much on it but I really liked the goal of the program. I currently an undergrad and majoring in chemistry, I am currently researching in a materials chemistry lab. And I have a couple of friends who do similar research but in the engineering fields. And I recently I took some computer science classes and fell in love with the field of engineering. I applied to PhD programs for chemistry and during the process my PI suggested that I should follow the engineering side of material science instead of the chemistry route. I have taken a lot of similar classes as Electric engineering as a chemistry major, but I want to learn more and i feel that this path would be better for me in long run so i can achieve a PhD in material science. And thats it really, I am busying in finishing my last quarter and cannot make out to Boston. But what I have heard about Boston has convince me to leave California and go to East coast. ( thats if i get in )

armoluv7 Congrats in your admissions to the leap program!!! I haven't heard back from the program I did call once to see my status on my application and they just told me it was under review. I just want to know already I am accepted or rejected. I wasn't able to go to the open house, I did what adamlau and watch it online and thought it was very helpful. I hope to hear from them soon.

Totally wished I was engr in the first place too. Well the good thing is that this program exist!

I still waiting on 4 schools.... Has anyone heard from UCR Engineering programs? Just wondering because this is one of the schools I am waiting to hear back from.....

Hey I applied to the LEAP program this year for fall admissions 2011, however I am in the same boat as you. I don't know much about the program although that it looked really interesting. Sorry wasn't much help!
