  1. Is anyone weighing deferring/re-applying next year for any of these programs due to the uncertainty of in-person instruction this fall? Or, is everyone thinking they'll attend regardless? I know the decision varies so much individual to individual but I'm curious to hear folks' thoughts either way. I can't help but think that if I am shelling out lots of $$$ for an only partially-funded degree, taking out loans etc., that I'd like to "purchase" the best possible experience for myself. For me, that experience includes in-person classes, close interaction with classmates for networking/socializing, and the ability to do field-oriented courses and travel. For that reason I'm leaning deferring or reapplying, but, I run the risk of never getting my spot again or losing some of the need-based scholarship I received. I am currently employed and would hope that to remain constant as well, but who knows. Is anyone else freaking out about this?!
  2. Is anyone deciding between UCSB Bren's MESM and Yale's MEM? I want to be out west eventually and want to work in Water Resource Management. Yale will be cheaper for me and has a bit better universal name recognition, but the Bren program is undoubtedly strong, especially out west, and I imagine quality of life much better just weather-wise. I dislike Bren's group thesis project and what I hear is a sort of scattered curriculum and think I'm a better academic fit at Yale with the social science they incorporate, more individualized focus, and opportunities for study of issues facing the american west. Has anyone picked one over the other and care to share why? Thanks internet strangers!
  3. @prokem congrats, same just happened to me!! I'm curious if they will have aid for us in off of the waitlist.
