noojens Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Nice, congratulations! Could you post your GRE/GPA scores etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faccha Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsmad Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I also got admitted to Wisconsin. Gonna be visiting in April. I guess if people are interested I'm a domestic student at MIT in chemical engineering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faccha Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh.. thats cool. I too wanted to visit wisconsin but unfortunately i cant. whats ur area of interest jamsmad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noojens Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Congratulations jamsmad! If it's not too much trouble, could you both post your stats in this thread? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faccha Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 yeah.. posted my profile there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsmad Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 So I'll just use my profile made for the other thread on this forum: Undergrad Institution: MIT Major(s):Chemical Engineering Minor(s):Economics GPA in Major:5.0/5.0 Overall GPA:4.9/5.0 Length of Degree: 4 year B.S. Position in Class: Don't have rankings I don't think, at least I don't know where I am Type of Student: Just a domestic, white guy. Nothing exciting GRE Scores: Q:800 V:690 W:5.5 Research Experience: A summer of Undergrad research. No publication or anything like that. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Internship at a small engineering company after sophmore year. I'm TAing the intro chemical engineering class this Spring Applying for PhD at: UWisconsin - ChemE - Accepted Minnesota - ChemE - Accepted Berkeley - ChemE - Accepted Princeton - ChemE - Accepted UCSB - ChemE - Accepted CalTech - ChemE - Accepted My area of interest is generally in Computational Chemical Engineering. I could see myself being pretty happy in a lab/cubicle farm with matlab/fortran/python/whatever I'd need as my main tool of reasearch. In terms of the focus of the simulation or computational work that's less important... I'm open to learning new things and trying to figure out how to best represent them in the computer world and what new algorithms to use. I would be a computer scientist but I like the theory, application, and impact of chemical engineering far more. I also have a twin brother who got accepted to wisconsin as well but I don't think he's on this forum... So I guess I'll be easy to spot at the visiting weekend. I'll be the one with a duplicate of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UDChemE Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 @jamsmad Which college are u planning to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsmad Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I just started visiting schools. Went to Santa Barbara last weekend and it was real fun and super nice weather (Boston kinda sucks). Everyone there was real chill too, especially the computational guys. I kinda hoped that would be one to cross off my list after visiting but that was not the case. So still got some work to do before I make my decision. In the beginning I said that I hoped to get into Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Berkeley and that if I had to choose before visiting anywhere that I'd probably choose Minnesota. But since I got into those top three (plus Princeton and Santa Barbara which eventually were the other two I chose to visit... Caltech is super small and less computationally oriented so I decided against that visit) everything is kinda up in the air until I see all the places.

UDChemE Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 @jamsmad Hey do u know if SMA admits have been given?, sorry for asking in wrong post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsmad Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 A friend of mine who applied still hasn't heard. That's the best I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grswindl Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 jasmad- you will go to Minnesota... (jedi mind trick). I just joined up on here and found your thread. You have gotten into many good places, young padawan. But you are not a Jedi yet... Where are you thinking as of now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
