    Today's the day we hear back about our YSE financial aid petitions! Hoping for the best

    Hey, I'll give the perspective of someone who also just got accepted into grad programs but hasn't yet attended. IMO, one of the best things about grad school is the skills and connections you develop during your time there. For that reason, I think that two years is better than one, it gives you more time to develop skills, do independent projects, have a summer internship, and make those connections. Columbia's program means that you're dedicating one entire year to education and no opportunity for a fellowship in between summers. However, I feel like that's more important if you're younger, like me, and you have limited real-world environmental career experience. Also, two years of schooling gives you the freedom to explore classes that you might not have the ability to explore in a one year, crunched, program like that of Columbia's. *AND* like you said, Michigan has a much longer and accomplished history. But ultimately it's up to you and there are so many factors that you can't compare quantitatively! If your heart is all in on Columbia and it'll give you what you need out of a program, go for it:)

    I asked YSE for more financial aid yesterday, I have no idea if they will offer me anything but I think it's worth asking! They accepted you, they want you to succeed, and they're yale, lol. They've got money. Also, I know someone who went through the MEM program and she sent YSE her fin aid packaged from other schools to YSE and asked YSE to increase her funding and they did! I asked them to match the amount UCSB is offering me, which is probably not gonna happen but I feel like it's worth the ask. I first emailed the financial aid email and they directed me to go through an online appeals process but it was really simple & quick.

    i didnt ask them! not sure. the email they sent out last week says we'll get an email notifying us that the decision is available so it sounds like it
  27. youngturtle
    btw i called YSE to see if I could get a little more intel on what time decisions come out but they just said by 5 they also said that it's going to be sent in mass email, so that means some people will get the email before others. I guess if you start seeing people post on this thread that they got a result and you haven't received anything, don't stress and give it a bit more time!

    yup, anticipation is killin me, what time do you think it'll come out? I'm expecting it to come out in the afternoon, just cause the other school results also came around 5/6 EST but hopefully I'm wrong and it's earlier
  30. youngturtle
    maybe!! it's what i've been hoping for all week but I feel like realistically it'll probably come out tomorrow tbh now what time tomorrow is the kicker, I hope it's sooner rather than later

    for those admitted to Bren, they sent out an email on March 4th to RSVP for their new student week. I just saw it in my email because gmail put it under "promotions" ? just a heads up in case you haven't seen it either
  34. youngturtle
    my funding included everything! with possibility of renewal for the second year
  35. youngturtle
    hey, do you know if this has happened before? Or does it always come out on the date they say? @Boolakanaka
