Starie Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 MIT cancelled their Grad Open House for AeroAstro. They will reimburse funds and are attempt to make parts of the program "virtual". I was going to attend a private visit later in March as I cannot make the scheduled one which is March 13/14 so not sure if they will advise me to not come as an individual??

I'm hoping I can visit the campus (as an individual) before April. Have you heard anything about limitations on individual visits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starie Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 No I actually had a private visit scheduled for Monday and they canceled. They reached out this morning and were very nice about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, assume they are what is listed on each university website (generally late August). That would mean you would want to move to the area in late July or early August if nothing changes. But this is subject to change at any time, so don't buy flight tickets just yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix88 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Also, I officially accepted an offer with CU Boulder last week for a PhD coadvised by Dr. Palo and Dr. France. How many others will be attending CU Boulder in the fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starie Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 It is official! After a very tough decision making process and an excellent choice of some exciting schools including Georgia Tech, Purdue, MIT and CU Boulder, I finally chose the University of Michigan to pursue my doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering at the UM'sPlasmadynamics and Electric Propulsion Lab. I did not share this information readily as I did not want to discourage you all on this thread and I know many of you were anxiously awaiting responses from the various schools you applied to and I was very blessed with full funding early on at all the schools I applied to and then the tough part began. My visits to U Mich and MIT were cancelled and even though I had visited U Mich in early November as part of an outreach, I had not spent enough time with people in the area I wanted to eventually research. GT was well known to me and I was called early on and told I had a spot reserved for me. MIT was a complete surprise but a very flattering one. In the end, Michigan was just a better fit for me and their funding package is the best and most complete of all the other schools. I am excited but also hope this really happens as already I had heard that Michigan State is only online for Fall. Just a waiting game at this point to see what UMich does. Again, I apologize for not being forthcoming sooner. I wish you all the best of the best for your educational careers wherever you attend. I spoke privately with a few of you and I sincerely hope you are safe and well and that your educational plans work out for the best!

Phoenix88 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Where did everyone else decide to go? In the midst of the Covid crisis, I'm sure it has pushed back some decisions, but I'm curious on what everyone decided on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starie Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Also just received info that U Mich will more than likely be online classes for fall.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix88 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) @Starie that is tough news! I'm sorry that you have to go through that for the fall. It will not be an easy start to grad school. Hopefully some of the social things will start opening up over time so you can make those vital connections. I'm still waiting on my side. CU Boulder is not sure yet on what they will do, they are still weighing options. We'll see.... Edited April 29, 2020 by Phoenix88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
