    Ya, the first lady said something about American being the only contracted carrier for that location. I wasn't sure whether she meant Tucson or DC, but maybe it was Tucson.

    Well, on my second call in to SATO, I happened to talk to a much nicer lady than on my previous call. She said there was one that gets in at 4:30PM, so looks like I won't be quite so late. >.>

    So I just called and apparently they can only book through American Airlines? And the earliest flight that day from Tucson gets in at 5:40PM? And there are no redeyes from Tucson the day before so if I wanted to get there before 4pm I'd have to take a flight at 3PM on April 2nd and get in at midnight................ This seems kind of ridiculous. Delta has a perfectly fine flight that leaves at 6AM and gets in at 3PM on April 3rd.

    I found it strange to contact my host regarding housing too, but when I contacted Elena she said we should be contacting them now. No worries though, I just set up mine! =P Also, I'll be in Miyazaki. =)

    Thanks, this definitely clears a bit up! Also, your last sentence made me laugh a bit because my NDSEG fellowship funding for this month was actually delayed until February 4th (usually they are precisely on the 1st) "due to matters out of [their] program office's control". x_X

    Good to know! I'm just a bit stressed since I did reply to their email accepting their terms but I never got a response email, so I worry they didn't get my email. Of course they probably just don't send confirmation emails, but it would be nice to know that they got it. x_x

    Would also love to know when Japan people hear back that they've been completely accepted (rather than the current tentative status)! =D

    I also got my tentative offer for Japan! Happy and excited and scared!

    Good luck to us all! =D

    I agree that you should check with your university. And ecology/evolutionary studies fall under physical sciences. I'm not sure what "non-model organisms" are though. =P

    I was just looking at this as well. It seems like my university offers some program for this, but I've never taken it. They also teach us this stuff for a few weeks in one of our required courses, so I'm thinking of listing that on my resume (even though it's not a certificate). I'm assuming it's like when you apply for a government job and they ask if you have a security clearance - it just makes their job easier if they do, but it's not required and you'll get one after you're accepted. I'd assume it works the same way here, where if we're accepted then we'll be funded by NSF and hence have to take an RCR course.

    Thanks, hokievt2010, that's definitely helpful and sounds similar to what I was thinking. I managed to find a copy of last year's application guide. It looks the only two differences between our years are: 1.) our project summary has 3 parts (yours + overview), and 2.) yours doesn't ask if you have any Responsible Conduct of Research training. Anyway, definitely very helpful information! Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply, Guattata. Ya, I have three separate sections for the Project Summary as you mentioned. But then there's the Project Description and it has things like Project Synopsis, Timeline, Research Plan, Future Collaboration, Biography, and whatnot. I think I'll be separating these sections (maybe that's what you're supposed to do, but I'm not sure). How long do you think a good Research Plan should be? I feel like maybe around a page would be good...

    EAPSI 2014

    I'm personally having a hard time deciding how the Research Plan (part of the Project Description) is different than the Project Summary. I feel like my Project Summary covers all of those aspects. \= Any ideas? Also, are you guys making a separate section for each of the bullet points for the Project Description? I feel like it's a bit repetitive...

    Guttata - I had the same problem at one point, but I called in and they clarified where in the application I had made my mistake. I think it was one of the early sections where I had typed in my university for my research location or something, whereas it was supposed to just list my name. I'm sure if you called in they could help you. =)

    NSF EAPSI 2013

    Would any of last year's applicants who got accepted be willing to send me a copy of their application? I'm applying this year and it really just helps boost my confidence and gives me some guidance to see what other people have done in the past.
  18. I'll be the first to post my results. Subject test: Mathematics Score: Try 1: 700 (63%) Try 2: 720 (67%) Accepted from: Michigan Ann Arbor - Applied Math, Maryland - Math Rejected from: Maryland - Applied Math (never heard from) I didn't send my scores to any of the other schools, so they didn't affect their decisions.
  19. For anyone who took a subject GRE test. Post your results to help future applicants! Subject test: Score: Accepted from: Rejected from: Only list schools where you actually sent the scores.

    I second the question. "What number did you call?"
  21. University of Washington is held in high respect for Applied Mathematics. Some hold it higher than Cornell. It all depends on what you are looking for and who you might be able to work with. On the general rankings, they are about equal. ( http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/applied-mathematics-rankings ) This is the first website that comes up on Google for the search: Applied Mathematics Rankings. As you can see, some ranking systems place UW higher, and some place Cornell higher (as someone linked above). As for climate, University of Washington definitely has the upper hand in that battle. It rarely ever snows (maybe once a year at most) and has nicer weather for much longer. If you can handle a bit of rain and prefer rain to snow, I would suggest going here. It's surprising how much weather and atmosphere can affect your studies. Also, if you like nature, the Northwest is beautiful. UW is in the middle of Seattle, which is exciting, but it is easy to get to some very pretty places not too far. Ithaca, on the other hand, is mainly a college town with most of the people there attending various colleges. Although the nature there is also beautiful, there is not much time in the cold school year you would be able to enjoy it. (Think waaarm coats.) Cornell may be a shiny name, but again it all depends on who you work with. After you get your PhD it matters more who you worked with and what your PhD was on than which school you chose. I would try talking to some professors, either through phone or email, at each of the schools to get an idea of which ones are taking graduate students. Keep in mind that not all professors are actively taking graduate students and some may already have an idea of which incoming students they want to work with. And finally, if you have an idea of what type of mathematical biology you want to do, I would check out the CV's of all of the professors at each school to see if anyone is currently working on that.
  22. It basically means we made the second round. I would imagine that possibly 1/2 to 1/3 of those who answered the questions will get in. Just speculation, though.
