livingthedream Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Admitted to M.S. in Behavior Education and Communication. I have not received my formal acceptance letter and there is no funding information on the web. should I be still hopeful to see a partial funding in wolverine access? Your formal acceptance letter should contain scholarship information, if any. And SNRE Master's students are generally not awarded assistanships. One must apply for them (this years deadline is up).

Double T Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hey all! The MS program at SNRE requires students to get 42 credits of which only 25 have to be taken from the School itself right? Does that mean students are free to take courses from other Schools (Engineering, Business for example) to satisfy their credit requirements? Is it then possible for SNRE students to try and get a minor degree in some other field as well? Any idea about this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Double T, It seems SNRE encourages students to get a dual degree through SNRE and other department, but one have to apply it separately~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double T Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks swend! Yeah I know that they have separate double degree options. I was wondering if there is a provision for students to get a minor degree in some other field? Courses from other departments can be taken as cognates right? Does anyone know how that works?

surprisecake Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Does anybody know any past or present students at SNRE who have done the Conservation biology field? I have no idea how strong this department is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, esraetna, I'm also a int students who have no FA, really like the program in SNRE, but it seems a lot of money and hard to finance your self in the first year in U mich.

dineymack Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Looks like I won't be attending UMich after all. Applied for a dual degree and only got accepted into SNRE not mech eng, and I don't want to risk not being able to pick up the other degree further down the track. Also don't think my bank account could handle Mich with no funding Off to Cali or Vancouver for me! Good luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dineymack, one of my friends who went to SNRE visiting day said SNRE students could apply for a dual degree in their second year in SNRE, and the dual degree application is much easier than the nomal application, also, I am worring about the cost of SNRE, it seems sooooooooo expensive for int students!!!

I have to choose between Duke's Nicholas School (MEM EE track) and UMich SNRE (SS track). I would prefer to go to Duke because the EE track is really good, and also because it's significantly cheaper than UMich. But I've run into some trouble with prereqs at Duke, so I'm not sure how things will pan out. UMich is also a great choice, just that it's a tad expensive. It's incredibly hard to choose between the two, just trying to find out as much as I can about the two schools. I would say you have a lot of good choices, it depends on what you want to do next- a job or a PhD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Double T, I am not sure if I would pursue a Phd degree in the future, but I am pretty sure that I would prefer a job after my graduation as a master. As a int student, I know it is not easy to find a job. Hope things would turn better in two years. So the potential intern opportunities is a very important factor. My four admission programs all shows that they have great career services, but I am not sure how good it for int students. Still under tough decision process:(. Hope you would end up going to Nicholas, as you said, they are great in EE track. Also, do you get admission from UCSB? what do you think about the program in Bren school? The graduation students there seem all get good placements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been admitted into UCSB, although it is also supposed to be very good. The Bren School is relatively 'young', but it's supposed to be the most beautiful campus in the United States!

kamnamurt Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi Guys! I am also accepted and did not receive FA, I am an out of state student and my tuition i believe is 38k a year. Does anyone know anything about becoming a GSI? How competitive it is? If we can apply for it and become a GSI in our first year? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwstevens Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hey everyone! I also am an out of state student and wondering about becoming a GSI-- i received $10,000 for the first year but tuition is still so expensive! Anyone know how easy it is to secure funding...esp for the second year? I'm also deciding between Duke, UCSB, and Mich---received scholarships from Duke and Mich, but not UCSB. Anyone else deciding between these three or know which is the best? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddin Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'm attending Mich with a smaller scholarship than that ($5K). My understanding is that the GSIs are pretty competitive, so I wouldn't necessarily count on that money going in. But if you develop a good relationship with the professors that you would like to work with and excel in their classes, then you can improve your odds of getting a GSI spot. There are some merit scholarships available once you're attending as well, although my understanding is that they are very specific, ie you can only receive a certain scholarship if you are a dual degree ESS student pursuing vehicle emissions research. Not sure if they are all that specific, but you get the idea. I'm in DC as well, so if you're going to Mich and want to grab a beer and chat before the fall please feel free to send me a message.

Yihan Wang Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 By the way -- if anyone has questions about Ann Arbor or U-M, feel free to ask me. I received my Bachelor's degree from there. Hi, thank you for your post. I am wondering what percentage of SNRE's admitted student pool are international students? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
