Thanks for the detail! I got the second letter too and no mention of funding. I checked their admitted students page and they mentioned giving scholarships to 30% of the class, I think it's lower than their average year. Anyhow, time to make decisions soon
Definitely agree with this. I applied to the same major four programs as Tiaki mentioned and I got an admit from all three except Yale. I am also switching fields with about 6 years of exp in finance, and though I had strong LORs and research exp, I believe a lack of direct environmental experience hurt the second essay in Yale (300 words) and my overall story. Even though SEAS three essays and Duke 15 things were a pain to write, I think it really helped me paint a clear picture of my past experience and future goals.
