chongmkt Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 26 minutes ago, MysteriousCong said: @chongmkt Hi. Thank you for the pep talk! I saw you posted on the other thread that you were rejected from UMich? Would you mind sharing more details? Is it the one with SEAS? I saw people posted their rejections on the result page but I have not heard anything and kinda hoping it is a good thing that I still haven't been rejected. Hey there MysteriousCong, I received the rejection letter a few days after I saw someone posted about the results. It is for EEB. I contacted the PI and he said that he was disappointed with the result. Obviously heaps of applicants have strong applications and they only have limited slots, so it's all good. He alluded to the specific reason of the rejection as well and while I won't share it here, I was happy that it was one that is beyond my control. Like what I said, it feels weird because the rejection letter kinda gave me more motivation.
chongmkt Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Also, I was informed that ESPM interviews happened recently and admission letters will be released around mid-Feb.

Accordingly, hundreds applied but ESPM only has around two dozen slots. This waiting game is really doing me in.

MysteriousCong Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Anyone heard anything from Yale? The interview should be out from last years experience.

So far haven't heard anything from Yale other than an email saying I need to complete financial aid application by 15 Feb.

I haven't heard anything about an interview either, I skimmed through the Env. Management & Policy forums from previous years and it looks like they got the interview around the time applications were due, mid December (edit: for masters) Edited January 31, 2022 by youngturtle
youngturtle Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 UCSB Bren Masters in Environmental Data Science results out yesterday for several people!

gradschoolgirl Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Has anyone heard back from Columbia for the Master's in Sustainable Management program? Anticipation is KILLING MEEE!

youngturtle Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 For those of you applying to a masters in Env. Management, did you take the GRE? I didn't and I'm wondering if that puts me at a disadvantage.

And that a candidate's application without the GRE scores will not be treated any differently during the admission process. The Bren School says that they will not be accepting any GRE scores from applicants this year. And SEAS no longer requires the submission of a GRE for all masters and Ph.D. programs. I am not sure about UMiami since I didn't apply. But given that most schools were okay with not submitting the GRE, I don't think you are at a disadvantage. Edited February 2, 2022 by Pru_

You're right about YSE, I just am getting too in my head because the anticipation is getting to me!! I keep thinking about it too much which is so pointless and unhealthy lol, thanks for your response though. It helped soothe my nerves.

Don't worry, looking at the trends from past years; we will mostly have results in the next 3-4 weeks. Yeah, but I get you; I think with the Ph.D. results coming out, even I am getting anxious. Happy to have been of some help youngturtle 1

takeitorleaveit97 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Has anyone heard back about the YSE open house that’s supposed to be in early Feb? (PhD)
Pru_ Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Has anyone applied for the University of Michigan's Sustainability and Development specialisation ? Because I got invited for an webinar for "Sustainability and Development applicants with the program faculties" and wanted to know what happens in such webinars. ( PS: This is the first time UMich is offering the specialisation. )

( PS: This is the first time UMich is offering the specialisation. ) Went to the EPP specialization webinar last night and they just talked about seas the specialization and where we had students talking I’m guessing they’d have faculty talking in your case. Pretty standard info session with a Q&A at the end. Also they said that they’re admissions decisions should start coming out late February and that they’re usually on time with their estimates so there’s that. Pru_ 1
MysteriousCong Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Anyone heard from Duke's Environmental Policy PhD program? Anything from Yale?
