  1. If you find out that this is what you really want then going to undergrad for engineering is probably a good idea. After all, you need the formal training and the degree no matter you want to get into the academia or the industry.
  2. May is the latest I can wait. I can't think of any other application process that takes longer than this, not even a job application.
  3. It doesn't really matter what combination. What matter the most is what you interested in. And I think that's a very good question to ask yourself of.
  4. This is bad. This means that there will be less students admitted to the program. Students rarely want to take a loan out to study PhD.
  5. I am still waiting on Boston University. They didn't even bother to reply my e-mail.
  6. I really hope Davis will accept me. I have already got rejected from MIT and Texas A&M. Did you apply anywhere else?
  7. That's good if that's the case. I E-mailed the department about my admission decision. And the lady said let her know if I don't hear anything after May. I don't understand why it takes so long. Maybe I have been put on the wait list?
  8. I was thinking about doing composite structure, too. In the past, I wanted to study hypersonic flow. Now I am more leaning towards structure since it has a much better job prospects. You said they will assign professors to us? I thought we get to choose?
  9. Usually at most grad schools MS gives you three options, course work only, project or thesis. It seems to me that most of the master students are not funded. MS usually takes 2 years, and Master of Engineering takes 1 year but it's more oriented towards professionals who want to go to the industry, A PhD is usually 4 years.
  10. Professor Jae Wan Park, I am interested in fuel cell systems. Otherwise, I would work on composite materials. What about you?
  11. Thanks for sharing that with me. I am curious if Davis gives financial aid to master students?
  12. I am interested in fuel cell system, and stress of composite materials. My research experience wasn't that much relevant, either. I researched on manufacturing nano-composite materials to be used on aircraft. What do you think UC Davis look for in our application? GPA? GRE? research experience?
  13. It's always nice to stay in California.I hope things will work out for you. What's your research focus?
