I've a better credential than yours (GRE 330, two papers, one in JSV), but I've already been rejected by texas austin. Gook luck, pal

I have weaker credentials than the poster above me (GRE 325, and no papers) and I've already received a full-funded Ph.D. offer from UT-Austin.

I don't know much about the particular program you've applied for, but it'll be difficult to predict your acceptance odds just based on quantifiable parameters (as evidenced here). I'm especially unversed on how your international stats compare with domestic stats, so I'm unable to comment on that. Do you have research experience/good relationships with your LOR writers/etc.? In any case, best of luck!

Applied to : UT Austin, Texas A&M, Florida atlantic and Stevens Tech NJ.

Still waiting for the results of my apps. This wait is killing me. Any idea when they will be out?

@Raman I think your chances are good at Texas A&M, UT Austin has quite a different program cuz it isnt exactly oriented towards Ocean Engg. That said Texas A&M is a fantastic place for Ocean Engg.

As long as your stats show the slightest amount of potential...If you're a good fit, you'll get in.
