petr. engineering Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) The wait is just killing me so I figured I'd start a thread. I have applied to Stanford, USC, Penn St, Texas AM and UT- Austin. Anyone else apply to those schools?

petr. engineering Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Well I guess no one is applying then? Or people are just being shy? Don't be shy! Let's share information and reduce our stress levels together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperialstout Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hey man I am an MS Petroleum Engineering applicant as well! Have you heard from any of those schools? The wait is unnerving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhammad Noman Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi Thanks for starting the thread, don't be chagrined by meager of visits because this field kinda less common! Any ways, im from Pakistan planning to apply for MS in PE for TAMU, Austin, Stanford... just got GRE score V.150, Q.161. Gonna take toelf shortly. Know my Q needs improvement, but this score together with GPA 3.7, ~2 Yrs industry experience, and one student level Paper presented at SPE Regional Contest at Qatar... (few other extra curricular achievements) Kindly provide your valuable feedback on strength of my application... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrouser Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I applied to these programs as well. UT Austin, Stanford, A&M and USC. Haven't heard back from anyone yet. The wait is killing me! Has anyone else heard from UT Austin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperialstout Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I haven't heard from any of the schools either. I checked my UT MyStatus page and it says that my file is still "in review." All this waiting has been stressing me out lately. It's like three whole months of agony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, you have good GPA and your work and research experiences will definitely bolster your application. But yeah, I gotta say your GRE may be a little on the low side for engineering but you can always retake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds192 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hello I am waiting on a response from UT at Austin and it's killing me!!! They said decisions would be made in Feb-March, but I'm seeing some people are already being accepted! Congrats to those who have I'm on ChemEng Masters in the UK at the moment, 3.82 GPA, 161 and 165 on GRE and one publication whilst at a French university doing an exchange, as well as one year industrial experience (unfortunately unrelated to petroleum). I check my emails multiple times a day - doesn't help. Thought I'd register here and pass time gaining knowledge about recent acceptances. The waiting game is no fun at all ...

I was told that they send out their acceptances in waves but that doesn't help in keeping me patient. It's hard to focus on my school work with all this grad school application anxiety!

Rainier0408 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I got word back that I'm in at UT. Nothing from A&M/OU/or Texas Tech yet. Applied for the GEM fellowship, but no word on that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yingwu Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hay guys, I am from China. Now I have been admitted by UT Austin in Petroleum Engineering some days ago. In the email, it says that the funding information will come later. But until now, I have not received any information. Do you received it? Do I need to contact some professor to get a RA ? Thanks.

aloks Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi everyone, Has anyone here applied for the Colorado School of Mines program. I've applied to UT Austin, TX A&M, CSM, LSU, and Univ of Louisiana - Lafayeette! I haven't heard back from anywhere yet and have been getting very nervous now. LSU's deadline for applications isn't until April 1st and they don't announce their decisions until up to a month later, so I think it will still be atleast a month before I hear anything from them. Same with ULL. However, I've been checking the results everyday, (lol almost every 2 hours) on the site for people who got in and I see a lot of people have already heard back from UT Austin and TX A&M so I've given up hope on those two now. However, I don't see anything for CSM on there. I was curious if anyone on the site has applied and heard back anything from there. Thanks and good luck to everyone!

Haven't heard from Mines yet either. Someone mentioned in the results page that they'll be out in mid-April. Has anyone here heard from Stanford? I saw people got accepted to the Energy Resource Engineering program, but not to the Petroleum Engineering one. Still waiting for them before I make a decision. Although right now I am inclined towards Texas A&M. Does anyone here know how getting funding there works? I called the department but no one answered. No email response either.

Petrouser Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have not heard from Stanford yet either. I am thinking that responses are coming soon. I have also been accepted to Texas A&M but have not heard anything on funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperialstout Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I just called the department at Texas A&M. They said they still haven't decided on my funding yet and that I should hear from them in about 2 weeks. Although they mentioned that they try to give everyone some sort of funding. I guess they're doing it on a person-by-person basis. Anyone else hear heard from them? Edited March 27, 2014 by imperialstout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya this waiting period is killing me. That was actually me who posted that Mines decisions will be out in mid-April, I was able to get in contact with the department. I actually just got denied from UT Austin today For TAMU, did you guys get an email notification? I'm counting on Mines a lot now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually haven't heard from them yet. I checked UT MyStatus and it says there that mine is still in review. I wonder if it's because I submitted mine late. In any case I'm just assuming the worst case. As for TAMU, they did not send an email regarding admission but the website said that I should expect to receive a postal mail in the coming days. I called the department and they said that they will send out an email regarding funding in about 2 weeks. Hopefully you get into Mines man!

aloks Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks, imperial! I kinda expected UT so no worries. Still no word from anywhere else here! For anyone who has applied for TAMU, does your status say "Your application is missing one or more required credentials"?? I am 100% certain when I applied about 4 months ago, the website said I can send in a copy of my official transcript for the review process and I did that, so when I call both the graduate office and department, they say they have all my documents, however, officially my file is still missing the 'official transcript'. Now when I check the pet eng website though it says official transcripts are required for admission purposes, I just want to ensure I am not getting screwed over because I didn't send in my official transcripts for the review purposes. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmpakistan Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi guys, I guess I am quite late to comment here. I kept on searching for some petroleum engineering thread under "Earth Sciences" but got nothing. Anyway I have applied for TAMU, CSM, University of Tulsa and LSU. Haven't heard back from any of these yet and it's making me so worried. I am not able to access my online status from website as IIE applied on my behalf. Regarding my profile, V=154, Q= 161, AWA =4.0, CGPA = 3.646/4.0, I have two years of work experience with a big E & P company, two research papers in my name. I wish I get into TAMU or at least CSM. Some persons happen to share rejections from CSM on results page, can they comment here abt their profiles? Thank you all and wish you all a GOOD LUCK!

aloks Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I heard back from Tulsa and it's a rejection Wish I get into TAMU or CSM. Any idea Tulsa takes how many international students in its petroleum engineering program? Sorry to hear about your rejection. Not sure about Tulsa, but CSM has made all their admission decisions. If you can't see it online, you should call the office and ask them. I am still waiting for TAMU and LSU. I didn't get into CSM sadly, V-152 Q-159, W-4.0. ~1 year experience with an environmental agency. You seem to have a good profile for CSM and LSU. TAMU is taking their time but when I called they said they are trying to make all their decisions ASAP. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised if they happened to accept someone or rejected everyone? Very sorry to hear about your rejection from CSM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
