Thanks a lot guys .. but actually, it has nothing to do with funding bcoz U Mich is also offering me 100% funding.. its just that I feel too young to go into PhD program(I am 20).. I might continue for PhD after my MS, but i haven't decided that yet. So if the decision is not due to financial reason, what should i say then?

Please Help guys...

Hi guys.. I got an admit from "Univ of Michigan, AA" into PhD program and have been in contact with my advisor. In fact i did my summer internship under the same professor in last summers. So, it was pretty obvious that I would get through and we have been in contact for last half year . But i just got a MS offer from UTA (full funding). And i am planning to go there. But today, Michigan Prof mailed me and asked me if I had made up my mind about where to go? And stuff.. I don't know how to say No in a good way that wont hamper my relations (which are very good btw) with that prof. Could any1 please help me? Thanks in advance

yeah.. posted my profile there..

Got an admit into UMich ChemE with full funding (RA+tuition fee waiver).. had done internship over there. Now i have to decide between U Wisc - U Mich.. what do you guys suggest? what factors should i consider as both are giving equal funding...? btw, i still havent heard from mit..

Oh.. thats cool. I too wanted to visit wisconsin but unfortunately i cant. whats ur area of interest jamsmad?

@ OchemE He is an international student.

I dunno abt the other cities but I am kinda surprised to see so little being written about Ann Arbor. Well, Chicago might not be the ideal place you would like to go to. Southern part is too dangerous, full of crime. Everything is over priced. And its not particularly safe to roam around at night. On the other hand, AA is an awesome city. Small yet elegant and B'ful. there is lot of student activity going around throughut the year and even the campus is very b'ful. Just did my summer internship there last year and loved the place.

I dont know how to convert my GPA on scale of 4 .. I'm an international student with GPA of 9.36/10 .. GRE: 800Q/ 750V/ 4.0 A had my summer internship in Univ of Michigan, AA

I am talkin about ChemE program .. and i know 2 ppl.. one got reject and one got admit from MIT .. even m goin crazy as they told me the same ...

Hi all I got an admit from Univ of Wisconsin for fall 09 with full funding. And wanted to know who else has got an admit.

@the_student are you an international student or american ?? m asking you this because a guy from my country got admit from mit. and they said to me admission committee is still reviewing my application. and that they will tell me soon about the status. could any1 tell me whats going on there?
