wow that's scary! I applied for MS. Where did you get that statistic?

Well it's great to see some other MEM people. I did not contact professors at Bren, but probably should have. I was not 100% sure about their fit for me so maybe I did not put as much effort into the process as I should have. @ suprisecake- I did apply to ASU School of Sustainability, and I did have a brief email conversation with one professor. Hopefully we hear something from them soon! (early February according to the email!)

Any updates?????

Hello all! I am planning on applying to Duke, U Michigan, Arizona State, Indiana, and UCSB. Anyone applying to Michigan: the SOP says to identify faculty you would like to work with. Should I also be emailing the faculty I am interested in? It's complicated when most of these degrees are Professional so I never know if I should be contacting faculty. Thanks and good luck!
