lightyears

I'm sure the decisions will be going out soon. There are barely any entries in the results search... There would have to be more if they started giving acceptances. I was under the impression that if you applied for a phd and you're admitted to the masters program, you still get funded. If I decide to go there, I'll have to pay out of pocket. I've been working for a couple years, so I have some money saved up though.

Teach labs and grade papers? Is there anything else they do? I received funding at one school if I become a TA or RA. I don't think I'd make a very good teacher... Do you usually get to pick what you want to do?

I'm planning a road trip to visit some of my schools, so it would be nice to know which ones I need to visit... I've already pretty much ruled out Colorado and Minnesota. They're two schools that I would have really liked to attend, but I received no funding.

I'm having to make a similar decision. Funding worth $40k/yr at UT-Austin or pay out of pocket for Stanford. I'm visiting both in a couple weeks and I hope that will help me decide...

I applied to the Atmosphere/Energy program with aid. I sort of wish I would have applied to the PhD program since I'd likely stay for a PhD anyway... but I might not have been accepted then. If you get in, maybe I'll see you March 20th. Good luck!

Since a thread for mechanical engineering hasn't been created yet, I thought I'd do the honors... So... anyone hear from Berkeley yet?

I applied to the Stanford Civil Engineering department and was accepted. It's the perfect program for me, but unfortunately I received no funding. At $37k/yr, I don't know if it would be worth it to go there, especially since I recieved a very nice funding package from UT-Austin.
