Also got the email (first email I've ever gotten from them) and also didn't get it. 0 for 2 on fellowships this year. It's okay though because I've been out of school for a while and will be starting this fall. Good luck to everyone else!
I have already tried to submit the application. I say try as there is no real "submit" button, only save, and they haven't notified my professors for their letters.
Application is the same I think, requires a research statement and personal statement, and then to fill out this form.
I am a prospective applicant for Fall 2018 applying to PhD programs in applied mathematics and industrial engineering. Primarily my research interests are in numerical analysis of differential equations, stochastic differential equations, and machine learning.
Currently my list of schools is:
MIT
Caltech
Northwestern
University of Minnesota
Brown
University of Michigan
University of Texas at Austin
University of Pittsburgh
Georgia Tech
Cornell
However, I'm looking for a couple safety schools to help round out the lists. What are some lower-ranked programs in these fields I could look at? I'm having difficulty finding anything with my interests.
Hello!
I'm a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (2015 - 2017) and just got home last month and applying for PhD programs in Statistics, Industrial Engineering, and Mathematics. I'm hoping for everything that glennss3 said, so we will see!
My only tip is depending on what time you get home, I don't recommend applying when you are in country and starting within a month of returning. Would be a lot to handle.
How important is the graduate research plan if your a senior undergraduate applicant for the fellowship? I have some ideas but nothing is set in stone.
