I am an incoming international Physics PhD student at Berkeley and would love to connect with other students who plan on joining this Fall. Particularly international students from South Asia where there are some struggles to get a visa nowadays. We could help each other navigate the process and just connect before school starts! If there are already any group chats and such, please let me know!

Confused between UC Berkeley and UPenn. Cost is pretty similar with scholarships and such. Looking for the one that will give access to better job opportunities not just in US but across the world. Any opinions?

I have similar funding packages for both and equally great advisors. -
May I ask how would everyone compare Berkeley and Stanford in terms of their programs in computational geomechanics? I have been admitted to both MS programs but applied to both for a PhD program at first. Since I am working towards a PhD degree, which one will offer more research opportunities and be more suitable to acquire such trainings? Also, what will the chances of getting into a PhD program after graduating from these two programs (either stay at the same uni or apply to another one)? Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I have given my first GRE and I'm looking to get into top colleges in U.S like UCLA or UCB or CMU. My unofficial score on the test day is Q170 and V142, I'm an undergraduate from IIT. Is there any scope for getting in? Should I give a retake for GRE ? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.☺️

Hi, Has anyone or their mother heard back from UC Berkeley's MPH Program? I applied under Health and Social Behavior, still waiting, and I'm wondering if I have anyone in the same boat with me.

hi, i am deciding between uc berkeley and university of chicago for my MSW. i am interested in macro-level social work and organizational leadership, specifically at youth-serving non-profits and gov't agencies. I'm especially interested in positive youth development, management and planning, and issues/intersections of race, ethnicity, poverty and inequality. i like to work hard and study complex issues in my classes. I would like to practice social work in the Bay Area after graduation, but SSA seems like the best academic fit. Do you agree? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you. -
Hi All! I am a recent graduate (c/o 2016) interested in pursuing a Masters and/or PhD in Urban Planning in Fall 2018 (Interested in merging Public Health and Analytics - Using City/Regional data to create healthier spaces) Undergrad Major: Global Health and Environment, 3.39 GPA (3.76 major GPA) GRE: Haven't taken it yet, but I'm a decent test taker and will probably score in the upper 70s or mid/lower 80 percentile) Programs: Columbia GSAPP's MSUP (Urban Analytics), UC Berkeley, I have spent the past few months interning at public health organizations (domestic & internationally) Here are my questions: (1) Do I have a chance at getting into Columbia and/or Berkeley? Are there other graduate programs that focus on data? (2) Considering more competitive applicants with higher marks, is it possible to receive a scholarship or RA-ship funding for a graduate program with my grades? How can I become more competitive? I don't know anyone in real life who is in UP, which is why I'm here. Anything is better than nothing, so please please impart some knowledge! Thank you! **Also please do the poll above to help me be more competitive, -
Hello everyone, I am unapologetically paranoid about graduate school admissions. My undergraduate grades fluctuated quite a bit. I attended a community college for two years receiving a 3.4 GPA. I then transferred to a top 75 liberal arts college where I received a 3.2 GPA. My total undergraduate GPA works out to be a 3.3 which is not very good for more competitive programs in international development/public policy. I was hoping that I could get your feelings on my chances at admissions at Columbia SIPA and John's Hopkins SIAS. Other things to consider. I served in the Peace Corps in Africa for two years Taught in Asia for 1.5 years. Conducting research in Central America from July 2017-July 2018 I won and declined a Fulbright ETA grant. In total, I will have 4.5 years of international work experience before my program begins. My brother is a current undergraduate student at Hopkins and is researching at SIAS. I think that I will have rock solid letters of recommendation from undergraduate professors. I completed three internships during my undergrad and work 20+ hours per week. Tell me what you think.
