Coincidentally, I spoke with a Miami native today who equated FIU to an over glorified community college. But if they are producing successful grads, it's worth a look.
I applied to a mix of MS and PhD, most of the MS deadlines are still open.
I applied to Emory PBEE PhD, deadline was 12/1. I haven't heard anything, has anyone here? According to the admissions results thread they have notified interviewees anywhere between December and February in the last five years.
