So I’m also a geology major with a focus in planetary science. I saw this as I’m assuming you’re applying to geology as well from what it says on the bio. What school are you waiting on? I am offered a TA position then NASA funding when it comes in for University of Alabama. If your top choice is this school, I won’t be making a decision till after April 15 when the schools (Washington University in St. Louis and University of Hawaii) I’m waitlisted for respond. I got an extension from Alabama.

Hi there! I’m a geology and astronomy dual degree but spent my entire undergraduate part time job as the agronomy field trials Assistant at umd under Jason P Wight. I highly recommend Agronomy, and I come from the stand point of someone who never of thought it would be interesting. I’m honestly going to consider agronomy if planetary science doesn’t work out. My boss, Dr. Wight, an established agronomist, said there’s actually a need for agronomist and there’s more jobs then there are people. This is field to go into especially since no one wants to do it and it’s needed. We will always use crops! The other great thing about agronomy is that you get to spend time inside and outside. The work is not always the same thing, so you won’t get bored like other jobs. Also, just shoot me a message or email for more questions since your post is a little long to read on a phone. My email is amills12@umd.edu. I can ask my supervisor about suggestions for school recommendations that would cater to you. I honestly would go with Purdue, Texas and m, Tennessee, Louisiana, Ohio state, penn state, Virginia tech, etc. but that’s my personal biasment due to working with these programs and my boss going to 3 of those schools. Also, you should probably be able to enter a Ms program in agronomy with your degrees for some schools based on your degree.

Hey there, I am a recent undergraduate graduate from UMD. Who did you apply for? We invite the accepted students I believe in March, so if you haven't heard back by the end of February, you were most likely not a top applicant.

Does anyone want to meet up for LPSC or need to make arrangements? With the day before the conference starts being St. Patrick's Day, I was looking to get a few others to go out. Sadly I don't have my advisor going due to the government shutdown, so I am looking to meet some new people.

Hello all! I wanted to make this forum for anyone who is planning to attend LPSC 2019 and would like to meet up. Personally, due to the government shutdown will not have my advisor going, so I will be going alone and would appreciate company especially on St. Patrick's Day.
