@alligator Hey! This you should find really helpful https://engineering.tamu.edu/petroleum/people/staff

Look for someone who is responsible for graduate admission process (aka Coordinator). Remember your department is the one who makes the decision, not Office of Admission. I will suggest you contact Betty Robbins or Eleanor Schuler. If they had too much to handle, they will forward your inquiries to their assistants. I suggest you do that now. Best of luck!

 

In my case, I got the rejection letter from office of admission. Is it normal?

[Lucky14]

@davincr I am sorry to hear that. Your department has sent out rejection letter to Office of admission. That's when they officially inform you.

It isn't over yet. You can always re-apply next year. The first time I applied for grad school, I got rejected by ALL SCHOOLS, it wasn't even funny as I applied for some schools in Europe and some in America. All I got is rejection. The second time I didn't make the cut. This year I made it. So I suggest you to work hard and try again next year. You will get there. Best of luck!

Hello folks ,

Is there a group on social media ( Facebook / Whatsapp ) for people with fall admits to the MS programme in Petroleum at TAMU . I received my admit this week with the 2000 $ fellowship and the In State tuition rate. 

[thunderfly]

The coordinator replied to me to say that they have not made a decision yet. I'm still hoping...

 

Thank you, we will notify you as soon as a decision is made.

@alligator Yes, I am still waiting for the decision ! I hope that "No news, good news" is true !

Just to check something : When did you submit your application for TAMU ?

Edited April 16, 2016 by thunderfly

[alligator]

@thunderflyI submitted the online application on January 30, but other required documents were received in mid February. I think this might cause the delay in getting the decision.

@abhi_sarmah Congratulations!

Anybody still waiting for decisions? 

[Afromouse]

Hi raulr29, I'm an international student (Gabon) and applied to the fall 2016 MS in Petroleum engineering at Texas A&M and I'm still waiting. I emailed the deptartment last Friday and haven't heard back yet.

Anybody waiting to hear from UT Austin?

[kk90]

Hello everyone,I am an international student, I got an admit from TU delft in Netherlands and from University of Houston for Master in Petroleum Engineering for fall 16, both are without any scholarships. So, can anyone provide any inputs about the courses in these colleges, future prospects in terms of job and the research areas in which these colleges concentrate which can help me in finalizing a college. I know delft concentrates on reservoir and production engineering but could not find much info about Houston's research.

Admitted:

University of Louisiana at Lafayette

 

Rejected:

University of Tulsa

 

 

In the acceptance letter for UL Lafayette, they encouraged me to get in contact with the department head. I would like to establish contact without committing, so what should I include in my first email to the department head, without it being offensive that they're not my #1 pick? Also, decision deadlines were not included for UL and I know some of the schools don't send decision letters for spring admission until later in the fall so I would like to get a step ahead in contact. Despite my lower GPA/average GRE scores, I am still holding out hope for other schools because I have worked at gaining more research based experience to improve from my fall applications. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
