Quoran:
I thought all applications are reviewed at once especially for schools with a deadline ? I'm seeing on Gradcafe a lot of admission decisions from some of the schools I applied to. Though it appears some of them applied before me.


I really don't understand how admissions are made.
Have you been interviewed by any of the schools?
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Quoran: 11:19pm On Feb 11, 2018
I won't call them interviews really. More like informal chats with Professors on Skype. For the ones I applied to recently, no one has scheduled any interview with me yet though I have seen a couple of admission decisions from two of the schools on gradcafe.

Good day all. Please I got this email from a prof. I applied to the school but I didnt mention him in my SOP and I have never emailed him before. Please what should be the best way to reply him.


Hello,

I am Prof. XXXX, faculty at the school of ECE at XXa Tech. My lab OLIVES work at the intersection of image/video processing and machine learning with applications in a number of fields including AVs, subsurface imaging, and microscopic imaging. We are anticipating to have couple of positions for PhD thesis topics and GRA under the area of image/video processing and machine learning for seismic applications, primarily seismic interpretation. If you are interested in such topic, please visit this page. Although a background in geophysics is not required, it is a plus. For questions, please contact me Bleep and Dr. XX. You can check our papers, current team, and other materials at Bleep

best regards,

best regards,
See you, see funding.... Are you interested in the position? Are you interested in the research? Do you have a research interest already? Has any other prof contacted you from the school?..... I'll say hug it, unless it's something you are not interested in.

First visit the page, read the papers and get in touch.

Please what do you mean by the current state of Pharmacological research??
pierre92:

Looked in the direction but decided against that because;
1.Most deadlines have passed for PhD admissions
2. I am not excited by the current state of pharmacological research. I will still put in some applications as backup though.
Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by MasterforceII: 7:56am On Feb 15, 2018
Hello Guys,
So I'm worried about something. I applied to a school and was only able to send one reference (out of 2). The other referee had been prevaricative although he showed support prior to my sending the application. I was invited for an interview that happened last week. I didn't even think i'ld be invited seeing that I had just one reference. The interview I believe went well and the professor intimated that I would be admitted. Fast forward to today and I'm yet to receive any notification from the school even though I had been seeing admits from the school on gradcafe. So I go back to the application portal and I see this:
"We do not generally make our decision on an application until we have received all transcripts and references".
Now my questions are: Has anyone secured admission with incomplete references? does my being interviewed mean that they've waived this for me and I'm worrying over nothing?
All efforts to contact the referee so far have proven futile.
P. S. The school is Imperial College, London. I don't know if i'ld go here eventually as funding might be an issue but I just need some good news to keep me going. My US applications have had little headway so far.
I appreciate your feedback.

Can you get another person to write a reference letter for you? If so Pls do this quickly. Also send an email to the grad school informing them that you need to change a referee. It should not count against you since other aspects of your application are good. Good luck

Schools and their policies undecided I applied to imperial college too and I understand those statements clearly, though I wasn't invited for an interview. Now to your inquiry, some schools would allow an incomplete checklist to not count that much not Imperial though sad. I know a few Us Schools might admit one without the application checklist fulfilled completely. Like someone advised get a new referee if you can, but your best option is to get your prior recommender to do justice to the referee prompt.

On the other hand don't lose hope just yet that USA Admit would come just in time. #Fall 2018 Yes we can.

pronto543:


I don't think an overall score of 308 is bad. Although, clocking 161 (roughly 80th percentile) in Quants would have bolstered your chances of admit.

I would advice you to apply but focus on making your SOP top-notch. You need to make the first paragraph catchy and captivating to the adcom. Another aspect is your referee but I can not guarantee you would get a very powerful recommendation from a Nigerian lecturer/professor. They just don't seem to be effusive and specific in their assessment. A bland recommendation would further reduce your chances. I would suggest you google up the specific requirement for reference for each school. Some schools honour reference letters from your boss at work (professional) or a mentor that can vouch about your ability to excel in graduate studies.

Also, if you haven't published any paper before please do, it speaks volume about your research experience. I have no idea how rich your esearch experience is. If you have any relevant work or research experience just focus on it in ur SOP and CV.

Lastly, take time to work on your CV. You can google sample of academic CV. Don't forget to include relevant research experience under its section as well as extracurricular activities.

If you haven't contacted POI then start right away. Send them a short introductory mail and an an attachment of your application materials. Merge all your documents into a single PDF file and your name_M.sc docs as title.

Why not apply for M.sc/PhD route. It's far more difficult getting funding for M.Sc than PhD especially in Houston. They have intimidating admission requirement for Environmental Engineering so I can imagine that of PE. I wish you all the best.

Hello pls, what do u meant by SOP? Is it same has Personal Statement? Letter of Intent?
You also mention POI, what does it mean?
Thanks

SOP means Statement of Purpose. In several schools, the term is used interchangeably with Personal Statement.
POI means Professor of Interest i.e., the faculty member who is most likely to take the most interest in your application portfolio and is likely to be your advisor if you were to gain admission.
