  1. Hi there! Anyone attending UDel next fall?
  2. I'm in the same boat as you. I was admitted last Monday at the University of Delaware for the MS in Disaster Science & Management but yet no email from the department. I did email the director to ask some questions and he told me an email would be sent soon for the Admitted Students Open House in April, but no official email about the admission. I thought they would send an email atleast in the same week as the notification arrival.
  3. This is an old post but I wanted to see if there's anyone else interested in this area and applying to programs. Yesterday I got admitted to George Mason University's Master of Public Administration (Emergency Management & Homeland Security) and University of Delaware's Disaster Science and Management MS but again, I'm not sure which programs are the best for this.... Delaware looks amazing so far, but I haven't heard from funding yet. I also applied to UNC Charlotte, University of South Carolina and University of Colorado, Denver: all of them are MPA programs emphasizing in Emergency Management.
  4. Program/Institution: MPA Public Administration with Emphasis in Emergency Management (UC Denver, University of South Carolina, George Mason University, Univerity of North Carolina at Charlotte) / MS Disaster Science and Management (University of Delaware) Interests: Emergency Management, Public Policy, GIS Undergrad Institution: Largest minority school in Puerto Rico Undergraduate Major: Information and Journalism, minor in Geography Undergraduate GPA: 3.05 (3.50 in major, 3.85 in minor) Quantitative Courses: All maths up to Calculus II, Intro to Quantitative Methods in Geography (Got an A here) GRE: ): low... 151V, 147Q 3.5. A lot of my programs did not require my GRE scores atleast. Age: 22 Years of Work Experience: Multiple research Experience in my school (3 research projects with the Department of Geography using GIS) and REU experience working on emergency management plans, and currently researching in a Atmospheric Chem. lab. 5 conference poster presentationes, 1 oral presentation, one paper from my REU. Undergraduate Activities: Mentoring freshman students, A lot of community service hours recollecting disaster relief items for local and international entities, visiting childrens hospitals and orphanages, writing for school paper and other student papers, student counselor for field trips in the Geogrpahy department. Languages: Fluent in English and Spanish. LORs: One from my REU mentor, one from my main mentor in the Geography research projects and one from a mentor/professor for my intro public service course. Very strong letters from all of them. Concerns: I have a lot of activities and research experience in my CV but I'm extremely concerned my GPA and GRE score would drag me down anyways. I did address in my SOP the reasons of why my GPA was like that, that was a main reason why I got into my REU.
