@raulr29

I was admitted on February 27th, but am still waiting for any funding etc. I applied the first week of February. When did you apply, and did you contact the graduate coordinator?

[raulr29]

@JDeane I applied by December 2015. Its still showing Under review in application status. I did not try contacting Graduate coordinator. Let me try that.

[JDeane]

Sounds good, let me know!

[Pete_Eng2016]

@JDeane Who exactly did you talk to ? you mean stuff member or faculty member ?
I applied long time ago and still didn't get any reply back. I spoke with the department (barbi) they said they just got back from spring break.

@Pete_Eng2016 Try to contact Eleanor Schuler or Dr. Akkutlu, they are graduate coordinators.

I applied for UT and A&M, but haven't heard anything from them either. I don't know why it's taking too long for UT to send out the results.

@alligator Did your try to contact the department of A&M ?

You right no need to contact them. They only said wait first week of april  

Can you share your profile with us if you dont mind, Experience, scores, Ms or Phd
 

[alligator]

Here is my profile,

GPA : 3.9 at TTU ( petroleum engineering major)

GRE scores: not good haha

Experiences: 2 summer internships + 1 semester of doing research at school.

I applied for MS at UT, TAMU and TTU. Hopefully, we can hear back from them soon. 

 

[JDeane]

@alligator Thanks for sharing alligator! Is UT your top choice? I heard that TTU does not provide funding for incoming grad students, is that true?

@Pete_Eng2016 Would you mind also sharing your profile? What is your undergrad major/school?

Edited March 27, 2016 by JDeane

[Pete_Eng2016]

Sure,

GPA 3.8

2 years research experience EOR (IFT,CA,Core Flooding)

1 internship with BP and 1 Internship with Baker hughes.

GRE is very bad: 146 V, 155 Q

I applied only for A&M. 

@JDeane

[JDeane]

Thanks Pete_Eng2016! You guys all have excellent profiles, let me know if you guys get any news...

[Pete_Eng2016]

@jdeane How about my GRE, It is not excellent at all

[alligator]

@JDeane For TTU, as far as I know they have really limited funding for incoming Master students. However, all of the Phd students here have some sorts of fundings (TA or RA). And yes UT is my top choice, but I will attend any school if it gives me funding.  

@Pete_Eng2016 I don't think GRE scores matter that much once you have research and working experiences. My GRE scores are low too.

[Pete_Eng2016]

@alligator @JDeane just saying; I was applying for MS spring 2016 at school of mines and TTU I got accepted at both with no funding. 
TTU is very hard to get fun and CSM is impossible 

[alligator]

@Pete_Eng2016 Yeah thats why I don't want to apply  for CSM. How many schools did you get in when you applied for Spring 2016 ?

 

[Pete_Eng2016]

3 schools out of 5
AM rejected me in spring
LSU rejected me too

[Pete_Eng2016]

does any body have any updates ? the waiting is killing me smalls...
 

[JDeane]

Accepted at OU for Natural Gas Engineering and Management. Will be inquiring about funding, otherwise nothing else from TAMU thus far.
