Is anyone else here still waiting to hear abt funding from Rutgers? They said they'd continue to make offers into April, but I am losing hope.

Congratulations!!

Ah okay! I am still waiting on my funding info.

when did you hear back from rutgers?

University of Buffalo in upstate NY has a research center doing really cool accessibility work - http://idea.ap.buffalo.edu/

I am considering it! Along with my other options. I love the community-based approach and sustainability focus, but am concerned with the lack of transportation coursework. What have been your thoughts abt transportation at Tufts?

Just jumping on this train today, and thought I'd share my stats. My SOP focused on the intersection of mobility, equity, and public engagement. Gaining technical skills (R, ArcGIS, etc.) is also very important to me in grad school.

Hey @heyamate, interested to hear your interest at Tufts! Are you planning to study transportation planning?
