Big Baby Jesus

I'm finishing up the Hertz Fellowship application. It's kind of sad knowing that there is almost no chance I'll get it. 20 in the whole country, yikes.

I was planning ahead and wanted to get the essays done this summer. Didn't happen. I'm starting this weekend.

Mechanical Engineering doing a concurrent BS/MSE in four years ( Mechanics and Materials Group) gpa: 3.87 gre: 800/590/5 I've been lucky enough to have been involved in research since my freshman year, so I have a lot of experience in that department. I decided to do the masters program because it would show that I was driven and give me the chance to do a thesis project. I work with mechanical properties of materials and how these properties are affected by microstrcuture. I'm interested in size effects in materials and deformation mechanisms.

Hey everyone, I'm applying for Materials Science programs next fall, but I want to make sure I can get some good mechanics at the same time. Schools I'm going to apply to: MIT Stanford Caltech WUSTL UCSB Northwestern I also plan on applying for the NSF, NDSEG, and the Hertz.
