  1. Conditional acceptance from Duke.

    "The conditions of your admission are that you have not fulfilled two or more prerequisites for your chosen concentration"

    I can enrol only if I have one missing prerequisite.

    Said prerequisites are:

    Calculus

    Statistics

    Microeconomics

    Going to contest Calculus because did a lot of it during college.

    However, not done much regarding the other two. How does one go about filling these gaps.

    I don't want to lose out on this :(

    Try online summer courses, but has to be for credits and graded.

  2. ellen_ai, Were you able reschedule Duke interview?

    Hi, guys~

    I applied to the MEM program of both Yale FES and Duke Nicholas and I got an interview request from Duke to test my English speaking skills (I'm an international applicant). I scheduled my interview at 12:00 am WST. I thought 12:00 am is noon, which is actually midnight, so I missed my interview ( and stood up the interviewer T.T)

    I send an email to apologize and hope to reschedule the interview, not sure she would do that. It's such a stupid mistake and I feel really bad now :( Do you think it will affect my application?

    Thanks :)

  3. My experience with the application process was so far good. I'm not sure how much weightage is given to the GRE score, hope not much :-). Squeezing in everything you want the admissions committee to know is so hard with 600-word limit, right? I had to truncate a lot because of the word limit. Was your SOP 2 pages?

    Hello, I applied to the MEM as well. I am really concerned with my low GRE scores (V 154, Q 152) even though I have good work experience. Also I went passed the word limit on the SOP which also has me worried. What has been your experience so far?

  4. Hi anikl92, what I heard from the Yale admissions office is that they see the application holistically. I think you should be okay as long as you have other positive things to show.

    My GRE score is not great as well. My background is engineering. What's your undergrad degree?

    i'm a recent graduate from an Italian university :) How are you feeling about your applications? I guess my biggest concern is my terrible GRE score...(it was my first time ever taking a standardized test)

  5. hello, I am new to this forum.

    I wanted to check if anybody here applied to the master's in environmental management (MEM) program at Yale FES. If so, how was your experience (SOP, LOR, open house,etc...)? On dec 15th, I submitted my application to their program. Hoping for the best:-)
