Hi everyone, here are my info:
Applied: Illinois UC-Purdue-Nebraska-TAMU-Florida-Manchester
Accepted Nebraska-Purdue
Rejected: Illinois
Pending: TAMU-Florida-Manchester
GRE: Q150 (percentile 64%) V154 (percentile 53%) AW4.5 (percentile 4.5%)
TOEFL: 104 (I'm from Ecuador)
Probably will be attending Purdue
I'm married, my wife has applied to the same schools but in her field (food science) and has not received any notifications. If not accepted we will definitely go for J1-J2 visa. If both accepted we will go for F1-F1 (obviously).
Regarding the application. On both colleges where I got admission, I contacted faculty members and explained my interests. I don't know if they liked what they heard, but I believe they were determinant in the application outcome, since my GRE scores are rather low. On the college where I got rejected I contacted no one.
