hirschfelder
Let the good news keep coming in

Everybody dey pay obeisance to you; as per, Don Riddy.

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!!!

Congrats fellow Corrosive. I am happy for you. I don go refresh my email now now, but nothing dey there. I think it is a good sign. I believe it is. I want it to be.

Thanks a lot. I'm pretty sure you will get good news pretty soon. It's rolling admissions, so no news is a good sign. Wish you all the best.

Thanks a lot for all the good wishes, guys. I appreciate. For all those waiting, I wish you all the best and pray your hard work lands you great admissions with funding!!!

Thanks! It's only natural to feel bad after a reject, but of course the feeling passes away fast once you get funding from other places you got into! All the best!

The highlighted will really make my day if it favors me.

If I may ask, what schools did you apply to last fall year when you got all "rejects"?

OGreene:
Thanks a lot. I really do pray so

Course - MDP (Devt Practice).

MSc or MEng?

Tulane, Oklahoma State, Pittsburgh, Penn State (Yeah, I know..)

Congratulations hirschfelder.....I'm so happy about this. I tap into this oo

OGreene, congrats on your admission. The funding will fly in soonest.

Another decision (acceptance) came in from Texas A&M University Kingsville, with $1,000 scholarship and in-state tuition. Still very much hopeful for admission with better funding...

MA
