zuph123 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 When are you all expecting to hear back? I am thinking mid-February for UMich SEAS, but not sure about the rest of the programs I applied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaparralcountry Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Mid-February also. I applied by the priority deadline and completely put this out of my mind for a few months, but now that decisions are imminent I'm really thinking about it!

It's "on or around March 15" for FES in their FAQs: https://environment.yale.edu/admissions/masters/faq/ But it looks like some have heard back earlier in the past: https://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=mem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied for the Environmental Justice concentration! It's pretty much the only graduate school in the country with an EJ concentration, so it's definitely my top choice. But I would want to take a lot of Env. Policy classes as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied for the Environmental Informatics track! I applied for the dual degree in SEAS and Urban Planning, but would be more than happy with an acceptance from just SEAS. Also patiently waiting for their mid-Feb decision date... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behavior, education, and communication! really fits my research interests perfectly and seems very cool. I would also like to take some environmental justice courses! zuph123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaparralcountry Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 @alaqua Ah, I'm not applying to SEAS this cycle (I definitely considered it!) but I would've gone for Environmental Policy and Planning, although Conservation Ecology would've been a close second. In that same vein, I'm applying for the Environmental Economics and Policy concentration at NSOE but hoping to take many electives in Ecosystem Science and Conservation. Another day closer to hearing back! alaqua 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another day closer to hearing back! Also waiting on the Nic School priority deadline! Applied to the Energy & Environment track. Busting out of my skin with anticipation, I had an informal interview with the head of the EE program and he said (I quote) "your background is a perfect fit for this program." A good sign if I've ever heard one. Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting on the Nic School priority decisions as well- as is @monkeycat-applied for the Environmental Economics & Policy track as well @chaparralcountry, fingers crossed.

Wishing for a suspended animation chamber right about now. @monkeycat @chaparralcountry Good luck to you all, try not to chew your fingernails too close to the quick! EDIT: @rushrabbit029 I got in touch with the admissions department back in November and requested a tour, they offered the informal interview (really more like a chat) with Professor Johnson. They were super helpful & encouraging, it really improved my already high opinion of the program.

kcovt Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Slightly off topic, but I just saw it was announced that the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies will be renamed the Yale School of the Environment this summer! I like it, but that's a big change for a historic program. monkeycat and chaparralcountry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely easier to say “school of the environment” but the forestry name is just so iconic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
