AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a Chemical Engineering student in Ohio seeking recommendations for graduate schools, ideally in warmer climates like California, Florida, or the Carolinas. The student anticipates graduating with a GPA of approximately 3.5 and expects to perform reasonably well on the GRE. They express concern about being an average applicant, especially coming from a lesser-known university. Participants in the discussion note that a GPA of 3.3 is generally acceptable for graduate applications and emphasize that while the reputation of the undergraduate institution matters, GRE scores and overall application quality are more critical. They highlight the abundance of graduate programs in Chemical Engineering, suggesting that there are numerous options available for prospective students.

Sorry in advance, because I realize this is an incredibly broad question.

I'm studying Chemical Engineering in the U.S(ohio) and I really would love to further my studies somewhere. I will most likely graduate with my B.S in ChemE with about a 3.5/4.0 GPA. I know there are a LOT of other variables that go into this, but because I'm not sure what specifically I want to study(I just know it will deal with ChemE) it would be cool if anyone could give me a list of college that MAY be within my reach.

I'll probably do decent on my GRE's (no 99 percentile, but not 5 either) and I go to a relatively unknown university. Essentially what I'm saying is I will be a very average grad school applicant. I would love to be somewhere in a warm climate such as Cali,Florida, or the Carolinas(read: GET ME THE F OUT OF CLEVELAND).

Just listing some schools would be awesome. Any more info on any of the respective programs would just be amazing. Thanks.

I realize this question is a bit outdated but incase anyone else looks at it...

btw I rather liked the location joke,

From what I have found a 3.3 is a decent score for grad apps, though common, the school of origin doesn't have as much effect as scores,

There are many ChemE grad schools so the options are out there
general info but hopefully it well help someone
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
