Hello, mar. Do you mind sharing your academic background? I hope to know how much chance I have to receive financial aid from Ohio State University. PH

Wow. That really surprised me. I thought publications are much more important than recommendation letters. What kind of recommendation letters can be considered as strong (e.g. reference's title, academic contribution, or reputation)?

Dear all: After receiving rejection letters from Columbia, Princeton, and Georgia Tech, I begin to worry about my chance to be admitted to top universities. Do you think what is the most important indicator in application portfolios (GPA, TOEFL, Recommendation, etc.)? I really hope to know if I still have a chance to be admitted to top universities. The following is my stats. GPA under: 3.4 graduate: 4.0 TOEFL: 101 GRE Quant: 800 Verb: 430 Anal: 4.0 Publications: Journal*4, Conference*4 Regards. PH

Hi, IEOR. Thanks for your information. It seems that I was rejected by Georgia Tech. I completed my application and mailed the supporting documents in the middle of December of 2008. Hopefully, you can be admitted. Good luck. PH

Hey guys, I checked my application status of Georgia Tech on the website and found a message that "Final decision has been made -- you will receive a notification letter from the department. PLEASE DO NOT TELEPHONE OR EMAIL REGARDING THIS DECISION. You must wait to receive the official decision letter." I was so anxious about this decision message because I cannot figure out what the application decision is. Is there anyone who have met this situation before? :? PH

I asked UIUC yesterday and got a response that "Final decisions have not yet been made and all applications are still out for review by our IESE faculty." I hope this can help you. Good luck to all of us. PH

I applied for IOE. I got the decision by an email on February 17, 2009. Good luck to you. Besides, I received my second rejection from Princeton's ORFE department. Today isn't my day. :cry:

Hi, zkdhtm. I applied for PhD in Georgia Tech but untill now I haven't receive any response. When did you get the application result? Is it sent by email or mail? Thank you.

I received it, too. :shock:
