Hey fellow geo folk,
I applied to paleontology PhD programs all over the place and have only heard back from the University of Chicago.
I visited there Feb 19-20, was told I'd be getting a good letter, got an email from the Chair on the 25th, saying I was accepted with a fellowship, and postal on the 26th, detailing the TAships.
I have not heard anything back from: University of Michigan, UC Berkeley, Columbia, Cincinnatti, and Indiana U. I'll certainly post my results when I get them.
