Double T

swend, I think your best course of action would be to try and contact current students and alumni of the programs you have been admitted to. I haven't been admitted into UCSB, although it is also supposed to be very good. The Bren School is relatively 'young', but it's supposed to be the most beautiful campus in the United States!

Hi swend! I have to choose between Duke's Nicholas School (MEM EE track) and UMich SNRE (SS track). I would prefer to go to Duke because the EE track is really good, and also because it's significantly cheaper than UMich. But I've run into some trouble with prereqs at Duke, so I'm not sure how things will pan out. UMich is also a great choice, just that it's a tad expensive. It's incredibly hard to choose between the two, just trying to find out as much as I can about the two schools. I would say you have a lot of good choices, it depends on what you want to do next- a job or a PhD?

Have all of you formally accepted your admits from UMich and other universities?

Thanks swend! Yeah I know that they have separate double degree options. I was wondering if there is a provision for students to get a minor degree in some other field? Courses from other departments can be taken as cognates right? Does anyone know how that works?

Hey all! The MS program at SNRE requires students to get 42 credits of which only 25 have to be taken from the School itself right? Does that mean students are free to take courses from other Schools (Engineering, Business for example) to satisfy their credit requirements? Is it then possible for SNRE students to try and get a minor degree in some other field as well? Any idea about this? Thanks!
