Hi livingthedream! It is so great that you are doing this. I also got into the SNRE Fall 2011. Have you heard anything from them about the funding info? Any idea that when it will be coming?
I take it as a ritual to share my stats and background info.
Undergraduate Education: Sichuan University (China) and University of Washington (junior-year exchange); majors in biological science and have taken many environmental classes at UW whose PoE programme is way awesome.
Undergraduate GPA: 90 out of 100 in China and 3.83 at UW.
GRE Scores: 630 800 5.0
Not much professional experiences (I am still a senior in college) but I have joined in many research projects led by faculty members in both China and United States (about environmental assessment, species population, climate change and conservation decision making tool, etc.).
LOR: one from my undergrad supervisor in China and two from UW professors.
Admitted (up to date):
Environmental Change and Management MSc, University of Oxford;
Forest Resources PhD, University of Washington;
SNRE Master, University of Michigan.
