Ah that's cool! So how was living in state college and your overall experience? Would you like to go back for a PhD? I am not yet sure if I get accepted at all, but he said they had some meetings a few weeks ago to discuss the applications as well as the funding resources, so I really hope we hear decisions this week! I also like Earth System Sciences program at UCI and tomorrow we have the virtual recruitment day. I hope something comes out of that as well!
