Default grad school :)

The economy has made finding an entry-level ChemE position pretty difficult (or at least, finding one that isn't answering questions about how big a new storage tank should be...blegh). So I've decided to go to grad school. My application is extremely late, but I was guaranteed acceptance to the M.S. program and am "competitive" for the PhD (considering I haven't submitted GRE scores or letters of recommendation yet).

Hopefully I'll be working in implantable battery design. Excited.

good luck! i was accepted into the masters program last week at Sacramento state university :hsugh: it was my last choice so if all else fails i'll be going there for my M.S.W i hope i get into ucla or CAL tho... :hs:

on a side note how were u guaranteed a place without submitting anything? that sort of shows your irresponsibility in part by not taking the time to get everything submitted on time.... just saying.

I don't think he was planning on submitting for grad school until he couldn't find a job and was forced to do so. It probably has nothing to do with irresponsibility. Props to him for busting his ass so he didn't have to wait another year.

MSW = masters social work?
