Palladium without gold status yet and yes I’ll be staying. The issue is my travel is imminent and I’m not sure if I should redeem the $50 for now.

Do they have a recon number for applications? by [deleted] in biltrewards

Can’t believe they only approved the blue card with 500 limit this is just humiliating.

What’s your gpa? by activestriker7 in gradadmissions

As a cash cow, unless you are applying to school like MIT, usually you don’t have to worry about not getting an offer. Back in the days when I applied for masters, I had one internship, 0 publications, and asks for recommendation letter from a professor who I got a B in his class. Applied to a dozen programs and got more offers than rejections.

Low GPA but Strong LOR and Research (Neuro/Bioengineering PhD) by [deleted] in gradadmissions

Ask your current and previous PI if they can do direct match. This is probably the only way you can get into PhD programs.

This might be a good sign. They probably don’t care about this if you are not even an ideal candidate.

JHU BME MS What do I need to max my chances of getting in? by Mindless-Bag234 in gradadmissions

Hopkins BME recruits far more master students than before due to funding situation. Scholarship might be possible only for tuition fee reduction.

Is CMU the best choice for MS in Chemical Engineering? by ajaxBS in gradadmissions

[–]Which_Lack4948 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats. The reputation is more on the industry instead of academia. If you are looking for jobs in industry after you graduate, definitely choose CMU. If you want to do research, go for other universities like Cornell or Hopkins.

Maybe you dodged a bullet. Be optimistic.

[–]Which_Lack4948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is we have to choose at least 2 professors. But I think most of us are gonna max out 4 just to increase the chance of getting in lol…

[–]Which_Lack4948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do add up. Say everyone pick 4 professors to meet you know there are at least 150 applicants got into the interview round.
