erin85 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Although I'm not, it might be good to know that the SNRE program "automatically admits" undergrad UofM students with a 3.65 or higher GPA into their Masters program... even in a major (sociology) like my own. A friend in the econ dept got the same deal. Oddest letters and emails I received from them, congrats on being admitted... to a program you never even considered applying to... Hope you enjoyed Ann Arbor though I'm looking forward to (possibly) being out of here... but I may stay if their MPP program lets me in... I swear, the town gets VERY lovely come spring/summer/fall. The winter is just miserable though. Live close to campus if you can!

A friend in the econ dept got the same deal. Huh, that's odd. I'm actually a sociology major with a 3.65 or higher GPA...but I've also been doing work on the same issues as their EJ work. That's definitely interesting to keep in mind though, thanks for the heads up.
dithius_9 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I went to that thing last year. I thought it was worth the trip. Breaking up into groups based on our desired specialization (sus systems, ter ecosystems, etc.), and hearing some information sessions by our future faculty was a great help in getting a feel for the program. I ended up deciding to defer, and will be starting there this fall. I won't be going to the visit day this year, however. They somehow managed to announce it like 2 weeks before I would have had to buy a plane ticket, and the prices were already well past the $300 reimbursement.

I'm sucking up a 5 hour car drive (and parking) on either end of the flight to go. I've ended up getting in everywhere I applied and now have no idea how to choose without actually meeting some people.
