Good list of schools. Why Biomedical Engineering? Which area in particular? If there is a link between your experience in Electronic and Electrical Engineering and Biomedical, that is fine. That link will be your selling point. As for funding, it is never safe to assume that all schools fund even though that is usually the case. You have a nice list of schools. Six is a good number. I hope you get into your dream school. shakaz: |

shakaz:Your scores are good, trust me. Congratulations. On the bolded part, learning a lot of vocabs does not improve your score on the new GRE. (The GRE that was introduced from 2011 till date). The test makers claim they are testing a variety of skills of which learning vocabulary is not a key part of it. I agree to a large extent. I think the Manhattan series did not improve your score( in my opinion) because you probably just solved all the questions and went through it. I did the same in my first GRE and scored really poor. When you identity any grey areas in your Math, you find the part of the book(s) that will help you improve. Going through those books is really a tough task and you might even forget many things, as many of what is there do not show up on the test day. Apply the best and apply early. Cheers. 1 Like |

It depends on the school's admission procedure but it will never hurt to send an email. Majority of the USA schools (I will say 'All' actually) have their Professors emails on their website. Just search more. Josonas: |

I connected with the Professor via his email. That is the most basic way especially if you are miles away from the school. Just mail any of the Professors in your target schools. As you do that, also read the admission guidelines. These will help you know if it is profiting to contact a professor prior to submitting your application or not. Cutedelly: 1 Like 1 Share |

The GRE is valid for five years. So as long as you apply within five years of taking the test, you are okay. GoldmanSach: 1 Like |

Irrespective of who you register with, on the test day, send your scores to that institution using that code. If you do not do it at that moment, you will have to pay $27 to do it later. opash82: 1 Like |

TAMU CS accepts uploaded transcripts. Sorry, I did not try to discourage you as perceived by someone here. I only wanted you to know the reality on ground and also spread your tentacles. The number of people who apply for certain programs are large that even those with perfect credentials are not offered admission. Petroleum Engineering MS programs at TAMU and UT, Austin are examples of these. As folks here always advise, choose top and averagely ranked schools during the application process.

No, I have been speaking with the Professor for a very long time now. He had limited spaces in his lab. Fortunately, one student dropped (Dude got a GATES Cambridge scholarship) and he offered me the space after I had got my visa for another school. He did assist me with switching on getting to the USA. Admission in Stanford is attached to Funding. No funding from Professors or fellowship,no Admission. Olalekank: 7 Likes |

Hello Guys. I guess everyone has settled in ? For those still trying to getting admission and funding, don't give up. Those of us who have benefited from here will do our best in helping others too. By the way,I did change my school to Stanford. Remember the guy I was always mailing at Stanford? He was able to get funding for me as one of his prospective students left for Cambridge in the UK. So I'm super elated and glad. Though I wasted some money processing stuff to go to TAMU, I'm optimistic going to Stanford is worth it. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

Relax. The GRE is basic mathematics. Convince yourself that it is Not hard but tricky. Aim to avoid the slips and pitfall. Take a lot of practice tests. You will be fine. Spotlighte: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Schrodinger1,let me be honest with you. You need to check your choice of schools again. The first three are extremely competitive. Even with perfect GRE scores nothing is guaranteed. Those are the best schools in the land for Petroleum Engineering. Try Texas Tech ,LSU and Oklahoma also. They are a bit less competitive. Make sure the other three accept direct PhD. Also check for funding opportunities. All the best. 2 Likes |

You have a good GPA. I really admire those who studied Mathematics. Do you have any research experience aside your UG thesis ? Aside that, why financial Mathematics? From your thesis , you have gained understanding of Applied Mathematics- Fluid Mechanics. That alone is a unique selling point. I may be wrong but Applied Mathematics research is more likely to be funded than Finanical Mathematics. I have seen more funding in that area than even some core engineering disciplines. Also, you can partake in interdisciplinary research which is highly rewarding. It is your choice to make nevertheless. Mathematics is well funded so you just need to search more. What's your GRE score ? Your Quant score should show that Maths is your forte. With that, I don't see anything stopping you from getting your heart desire. Houston17: 1 Like |

GT Bank. If you leave your account for a certain period, the interest you get is very encouraging. Their Internet banking services are reliable. I will also recommend Access and Zenith banks. 79 Likes 4 Shares |

PhD Studentship - CFD Lab, McGill University About Us: The McGill CFD Laboratory is a leading research facility specializing in the development of state-of-the-art numerical methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics and their applications. The research conducted at the laboratory is in close collaboration with various industrial partners, making it a unique opportunity for those wanting to link theory to application. Current Projects: The laboratory is currently conducting research in three main areas: 1- Fundamental research into Supercooled Large Droplet (SLD) dynamics. The ongoing developments aim at producing numerical experiments of high-speed single droplet impingement, which are then used in generating a numerical database of droplet ensemble behavior. 2- Dynamics of iced helicopters The goal is to develop numerical tools to simulate the multiphysics of rotorcraft subject to in-flight icing: ice accretion and shedding, iced rotors structural dynamics, and optimization of ice protection systems. 3- High-Mach number flows The goal is to develop a unified finite element-based approach for flows ranging from subsonic to hypersonic speeds, including the physics associated with each regime. Available Positions: We are currently seeking highly skilled candidates to fill the following positions: - 1 Student (PhD) to work on Project (1) Requirements: Prior knowledge of SPH, excellent coding skills in FORTRAN. - 2 Students (PhD, Master) to work on Project (2) Requirements: Excellent coding skills in FORTRAN, knowledge of Reduced Order Modeling is an asset. - 2 Students (PhD, Master) to work on Project (3) Requirements: Familiar with high-Mach number non-equilibrium flows, Excellent coding skills in FORTRAN. How to apply: Interested candidates should apply directly to McGill indicating Prof. Wagdi Habashi as their preferred supervisor. Once the list of applicants has been approved by McGill, candidates with relevant experience will be contacted for a Skype interview.

1. SPRING - January Admission ; FALL - August Admission 2. They accept applications at anytime of the year. No deadlines. From my own observations, schools with such rolling applications have limited funding. I may be wrong though. Check the faculty members webpages and the graduate admissions page also. 3. Your chances are bright. Start your research early. Know what your target schools want. Do well on the GRE. Read this thread thoroughly ( I know you have started that already!) I really cannot suggest schools to you because Biochemistry it is not my area of interest. All the best. mayort12: |
