332 gangster score... God bless your admission and funding + visa in view.... I key into it...

Congratulations Bro.

hirschfelder:
Hello house, I hope we are all doing great. So, I was accepted at KSU for PhD in Chemical Engineering and I would like to share my experience with you all, since we started this journey together and will hopefully all get into great programs at the end!
This is my second application cycle, I was rejected from all the schools I applied to for Fall, 2016. I was disconsolate as you'd imagine. Luckily, I stumbled upon this thread and gained so much information from it. I contacted a very active and helpful member, SirRiddy-he gave me some tips and suggested I re-write the GRE (my previous score was 310), IELTS-8/9.
So, I did and got a better score (332), applied to a wider range of schools and got accepted into one of them. I would like to say, happening upon this thread made all the difference. If one makes use of the information posted here judiciously, great improvements in one's profile would be made.
Soo, thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread in one way or the other! And special thanks to SirRiddy of course!!!

Wow. I am sorry about that.

hirschfelder:


All PhD..

Hmmm. Asked because even with 310, someone with your profile shouldn't get "all" rejects. I guess the competition in the said programs and the ranking of the school had a role to play. This is an aside from perhaps a lack of research experience at the time.

sirRiddy:

Have you started looking for accommodation yet?

What if MIT or some other school admits him?

True!

Some of the programs that bothered to respond to my inquiries about my rejected applications said my scores were too low to be competitive. My research experience is basically as it was....

sirRiddy:

Not really, I haven't started seriously yet.

Scholastica16:

Lol, this is quite funny. We all know the top schools are ultra hard to get into, good scores or not.....
