MrGenius Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hey all .. I hope that this topic serves as a way for us to share what we know about the progress of the review process. If you have heard back from a school and/or know when we might expect a decision, I am sure that many of us will appreciate that. What schools have you applied to? Have you heard from any of them? Were you contacted by any of them? Have you sent an email to inquire about something and they responded with something that maybe of interest to us? Thanks in advance for sharing ...

ChemFan Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I appreciate this topic. I heard from U-Mich Ann Arbor with acceptance and funding. Heard they generally don't release most acceptances till much later though, like February. No word from others MrGenius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I also heard back from Michigan with acceptance and funding on the 3rd for a PhD. I was emailed by the Chemical Engineering Department and told to await an official email from the graduate school. Yet to hear back from any of the other schools that I applied to.

MrGenius Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Out of the few schools I applied to, I believe that only MIT has historically started to send offers as early as January. So I'm waiting for that... CalculatorCat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancakes Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thank you for making this topic! I also applied for many universities mostly in Top 20, but nothing came out. MrGenius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwf Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I got a call from Berkeley last friday morning for chemE PhD program from a professor. He said I should be receiving information for a visit weekend soon via email but I haven't got anything yet. When do you guys think I should ask admissions when they will schedule the visit? It's making me nervous that I haven't got any formal acceptance yet other than a voicemail from the professor to call him back!! Also, keep your ears to the ground. Notices are definitely going out right now. MrGenius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try to call the prof back, and follow-up toward the end of the week if you don’t receive anything by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excelsior! Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hello everyone. I am an international student and have applied to 8 schools but I haven't heard from any of them. I think that int. students may receive decision later. I surely am anxious and worried, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the message after the first business day. Also got a notice from Rice. Can't wait to hear from others. Good luck, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elika Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 What are the approximate time ranges for each school? I know MIT and Stanford already starting accepting, is it safe to assume they're basically done by now. I also applied to UCSB and Georgia Tech but it's hard to tell for them either. I applied to two other schools but starting to feel like I should have applied to more . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancakes Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I am an international student and just got an acceptance letter from UT-Austin! minimum $30,000 stipend + tuition + health care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemEngApp Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi All, I am an international applicant that is still waiting for the decision. I guess MIT Chem Eng is starting to announce their decision to the US Degree holder. I believe they will send the result for the internationals around 2 weeks ahead.
