Hey, I didn't see a thread, so I'm starting one. I have only applied to IU Bloomington for a Ph.D. in Geological Sciences, but I have not received any update so far...

Finally found someone in Geological Sciences. I am also from India and applied to the University of Rochester only, but haven't heard anything from them.

Hey man! What are you specializing in? On a side note, heard from the Grad contact at IU Bloomington that they release their decisions between Late-Feb and mid-April.

Hey mate!!! Glad to know that you have received an email from the Grad Coordinator. I am looking forward to exploring paleomagnetic as well as magnetic norms of extraterrestrial samples as well as bits of rocks/sediments.

 What are your areas of specialization and what are you hoping to explore as a graduate student? looking forward to your response. Would you be ok to share your institute name (if it works for you)?

That's great! I am an archaeologist and would like to work on topics concerning geoarchaeological applications such as micromorphology and geochemistry to better understand the human-environment relationship, particularly in the Pleistocene. I have a Masters in archaeology from Deccan College, Pune if that's what you are asking

[Infinity203]

That's cool!!!! Well. good luck with the application and I hope, you will soon receive positive news from the committee. Good luck!!!

[DeoTank]

Same to you!
