So in the demo profile, you can change your name pretty much to anything. When you fchange your name does it change it on the awardees page as well?

lol sucks to be east coast

Wait so results should come out by 2AM EST? Trying to decide if I wanna stay up an extra hour to find out. Imma be pissed if I stay up and don't find out..

^^^^ 1st post on this page. So excited for next Sunday. Can't believe they killed Boromir.

This. So much bitching in this thread.

Yeah PhD. Also, it's my friend who visited, not me. He said he didn't meet a single MSE student. They don't seem to focus on MSE, it seems.

Doublt

some admitted people didn't go to visit. I think they accepted around 20. They also stated they were being more selective this year than in previous years. Last years acceptance rate was 13% from like 300 apps

lol... Want to give us the source of this info?

UMich PhD aero visit weekend was last week (about 12 people visited). Acceptance rate was less than 10% this year. Statistically, about 2/3 people accept their offers, so I assume there may still be space available after people reject.

So I accepted the Hertz fellowship a little while back. This fellowship only includes a stipend and no tuition (though my offers from schools will cover tuition). Is it possible to accept NSF just for the tuition part along with Hertz (I want to save my adviser some money )? Admittedly, I haven't looked much into the fellowship stuff.

Is that right? I was under the impression that # of awards allocated for a student in a certain year (undergrad, 1st year grad, 2nd year grad) is proportional to the # of applications received for that group.

Do you have reason to believe why it should be ranked higher?

The choice is easy. No American professor will want to put up with you.

You want me to decide this for you?

so are you going to tell anyone what you need help with

Yeah I had a feeling they made their own profiles. Wouldn't surprise me there's stuff missing on those profiles. Good luck.

Ah I see. Google scholar isn't the best either. Do you know who makes the profiles for profs? Ice noticed that quite a bit of profs aren't on there.

For those going to Cornell's visit day, I'm curious to see what you guys think of Sibley. I've been told that the program has been slightly declining the past few years due to some of the renowned profs retiring/about to retire (e.g., Pope) and being replaced by new ones, who don't seem to be producing that much research output...
