  1. Hello there! I am starting my PhD in Earth System Science at Stanford this fall, and I was admitted straight from undergrad - so it is definitely worth applying. It is my understanding that you spend the first and second year exploring potential research topics, so it is by no means set in stone when you are applying. Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to know more about my undergrad research experience that got me admitted to the program.
  2. I'm also Geosciences - Hydrology. I got the Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship, which is much more competitive than the NSF GRFP, so I was a little surprised to receive an HM. I would have had to reject the GRFP even if I received it, but it still would've been cool to get it.
  3. For those wondering, I received a phone call a couple of hours ago informing me that I was selected.
  4. Results for the DOE CSGF should be coming out within the next couple of weeks, so I just wanted to get a thread going for everyone to let others know when they hear back.
  5. For those wondering about Berkeley, I was unofficially accepted with funding by my POI in CEE, which is why I put accepted in my signature below (sorry if that is confusing). I recently withdrew my application from Berkeley because I accepted an offer at Stanford in ESS (not CEE, which probably also makes my signature confusing).
  6. I was accepted to a different department at Stanford (ESS), and my application has always said incomplete for the same reason. It also says, however, that it is a manual feature that will not be updated this year. Your department may be different, but you probably shouldn't worry.
  7. Yeah, mine says that too. It sounds like all of the Berkeley applications have that. Probably just a placeholder
  8. Gotcha gotcha. Yeah universities use a bunch of different terms for those kinds of things, so it can be a little confusing. Now I'm confused as to why my POI hasn't told me about the admit day... oh well
  9. On Berkeley's CEE Admissions website, it says "we do not conduct formal interviews for any of our graduate degrees." Also, I know my POI from Berkeley is going to accept me, but he never mentioned an interview or visit day.
  10. Hey there! I applied to a mixture of engineering/science programs, but the two engineering programs I applied to were Environmental Engineering at Berkeley and Hydrologic Engineering at Colorado School of Mines. My POI at Berkeley has essentially accepted me, we are just figuring out funding. I haven't heard anything from CSM yet.
  11. @spacerox It is my understanding that the visit days lean more towards an interview style. If you are admitted, then departments often have a prospective students day (before the April 15 decision deadline), where they really try to convince you to come to their department.
  12. Undergrad Institution: medium-sized public school in Midwest; largest geological engineering program in U.S.Major(s): B.S. Geological EngineeringGPA in Major: 4.0Overall GPA: 3.66Position in Class: TopType of Student: Domestic, MaleGRE Scores:Q: 166V: 162W: 4.50Research Experience: summer at Vanderbilt, academic year at Ivy, summer at Argonne Nat'l Lab, two academic years at undergrad institution, summer at Berkeley Nat'l Lab, currently working full-time for Berkeley Nat'l Lab; four oral presentations and eight poster presentations; publication for Berkeley Nat'l Lab in progressAwards/Honors/Recognitions: several research recognitions, two external grants to fund my research at undergrad institutionAny Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I went to an Ivy for two years, but I transferred because I wanted to do engineering. Applying to Where:Stanford University - Earth System Science - Reactive Transport Modeling and Data Science University of California, Berkeley - Civil and Environmental Engineering - Reactive Transport Modeling and Data Science Colorado School of Mines - Hydrologic Science and Engineering - Hydrologic Modeling and High-performance Computing University of Arizona - Hydrology - Hydrologic Modeling and Data Science
