OGreene:
Thanks a lot. I really do pray so

Course - MDP (Devt Practice).

hirschfelder:
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.

sirRiddy:
Lol. Great news.
Chemical engineering is very competitive but the guy's profile na die sef.

Cephas0009:
I am suspecting Feb 28 for KSU and March 13 for UH ...

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!!!

sirRiddy:
More good news

Let the good news keep coming in

adetola007:
Boss I dey here, No, I was rejected by LSU. Any good news?

DMainMan:
received now

DMainMan:
I read it and did as instructed. But no response at all since.

iCool:
This your play na rough play, Stop am!

iCool:
This held me back from applying to some schools, aside my GRE score which isn't 170/170-Q. I believe other parts of my application were competitive enough for most Msc programs.

But how them wan know say you deh try for other aspects, if your app cannot get in through the door because of GRE requirement?

hirschfelder:
Lol. Not so shocking though, considering that some programs use GRE mainly to screen applications. Thereafter, research experience and research fit as highlighted in your SOP carries more weight (as I've been told). I hope other schools consider our applications favorably.

Yes. PhD in Chemical Engineering

fredoricko:
You're correct bro. I asked grad coordinator same question and most of them encouraged me to apply for a straight PhD only if I've got a faculty member who has agreed to be be adviser. But I guess is a case of different strokes for different schools.

ponpon:
just saw it now, bro it's just one of the decisions, and If you are still applying. Trying and ask the grad coord if the dept prefers a straight PhD or Ms first. I almost applied to LSU PhD until I asked and the grad coord told me that faculty prefers a Ms first and that I should mail to see if anyone was ready to accept me. Even though on the site you could apply to PhD straight. I just used my number 6.

Even the Ms admit sef, no funding yet.

hirschfelder:
He is somewhere, waiting nervously. Lol. I got rejected from Notre Dame so far. Waiting on others. Getting quite antsy though, since people be posting acceptances for my program all over GradCafe! I pray we all get into great programs at the end!!!

shayhune:
As much as no one wants to experience rejection wrt applications, it doesn't define the end bro. This particular rejection only helped you prune your choices. All things work together for good. I believe you'll get accepted by other schools you applied to. In fact, that acceptance mail is coming very soon. Cheer up bro.

Topiipii:
But na you say make we dey update the house na

drhopeful:
With all the decisions on here, I guess I can now intensify ripping off my hair....

Topiipii:
I have received four decisions from my applications, they all admitted me without funding yet.

Colorado State University - Jan. 24
Kansas State University - Feb. 7
University of Wyoming - Feb. 10
Tennessee Tech. - Feb. 14

K-State is asking me to send a bank statement though before an admittance can be processed.

I still have two more decisions to go (U of Utah and Vanderbilt)

fredoricko:
1st decision, admit
southern Illinois university Carbondale
Ms Electrical engineering.
No funding yet.
3 more to go.

seeker88:
One admit from South Dakota State University.

Surprisingly, that is the most recent application which I reluctantly submitted few days ago. I completed the application and ordered for my evaluated transcript from WES to the school on 8th of this month. I was utterly surprised when I saw the mail from them was a decision mail. I guess they admit on rolling basis...

However, no funding yet. The advisor assigned to me happen to be the Program Coordinator. I was told to contact my advisor for inquiries on funding which I already did.... his response was that I have been automatically entered to the selection pool for the departmental graduate teaching assistant, and that the positions will be announced at the beginning of the fall semester...

I pray it comes out well...

sshola:
Thanks bro. He is doing masters. Can you please suggest some schools to him, apart from Kansas State University, where he can get funding? Thanks sir

Hello house. Right now am suppose to be rejoicing about am GRE result.
I got to the centre dis morning at JKK house. Registration started and unfortunately for me I didn't go with my Intl passport only went there with driver licence and receipt of my Passport submission to CIC. So I tot I would be let in to write. Mehn they didn't allow us ooooo. We are like 4 in number. It Wass very painful becos of the time,energy and the money spent on it.

I know it's my fault but e get why.
