InquilineKea Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Sorry to hear about that - I wish that you could have gotten in. hmm... well they gave me my official offer via website today - $21,500 + $1,405 fellowship + $7,935 summer = $30,840/year for the first year.

NoNO Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Sorry to hear about that - I wish that you could have gotten in. hmm... well they gave me my official offer via website today - $21,500 + $1,405 fellowship + $7,935 summer = $30,840/year for the first year. Its ok...it looks like non official MSc offer i got is with a person who was advised by my POI at brown... so the type of research hasn't been lost just the school
LCBucky Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 rejection from MIT/WHOI for marine geology and geophysics.... ouch. That's ok though! Already have an acceptance to an international university
InquilineKea Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Ouch, people are finally starting to hear back from MIT.... This is going to make me terrified to check my email... Edited February 22, 2012 by InquilineKea
XXF Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Rejected from brown, boo! My first rejection. Oh well! My interview at uchi went really well though as far as i can tell! Heading home tonight.
InquilineKea Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 I'm sorry to hear that. I did tell a professor to look out for your app. LCBucky 1
terrencewang Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Hi, Espresso, which did you apply, the EAPS or the MIT-WHOI joint program? Did MIT and WHOI make decisions together? Edited February 23, 2012 by terrencewang
LCBucky Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I applied to the MIT/WHOI joint program, not EAPS. I don't think EAPS has sent out results yet! (correct me if I'm wrong..) Good luck to you!
XXF Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Rejected from harvard eps today via post. Good luck to everyone else! I botched my application on this one but I expected to get rejected anyway even if I hadn't.
hope4fall2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 well they gave me my official offer via website today - $21,500 + $1,405 fellowship + $7,935 summer = $30,840/year for the first year. Congratulations!!! .. Thats a very good financial offer..

LCBucky Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Sorry to hear that.. All the best on your future decisions.. They should be out soon, no?? Thank you! I'm hoping within the next few weeks I will hear from the other 2 schools I applied to. Fingers Crossed!
sansao Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Thank you! I'm hoping within the next few weeks I will hear from the other 2 schools I applied to. Fingers Crossed! Still waiting on 3... I'm pretty sure we have at least one application in common ( ), and it would be absolutely awesome if we both got in, though I suspect that might require a miracle. Also crossing fingers.

Goodluck to the both of us! You never know, miracles do happen....
sansao Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 You never know, miracles do happen.... I keep going between telling myself that, and telling myself to focus on the other schools so I'm not totally destroyed if I get rejected.
sansao Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I keep going between telling myself that, and telling myself to focus on the other schools so I'm not totally destroyed if I get rejected. Not that I won't be pretty destroyed anyway.
puddin Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Just registered as I've been browsing for the last month or so and thought I ought to contribute something. Here's my status of now: Applied: UMich SNRE, Columbia SIPA, Yale School of Forestry, Berkeley ERG As of now I've heard from ERG (rejected) and SNRE (accepted). SNRE was definitely a top pick for me so I'm pretty excited! Hoping everyone has equally positive results.

meki4life Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Hi guys I'm also just registered, Undergrad school : Upper mid-ish private university ranked 30~40 on USNews Cum GPA: 3.78 Major GPA: 3.98 Major: Earth Sciences Minor: Double minor in Environmental Science and Math GRE: Q 87% V98% W48% Undergrad research experience: Worked on ICP-AES & MS as undergrad to analyze marine sediments, still working on a senior thesis also using the ICP MS to analyze the chemistry in salt marsh interstitial water and one field season in Dry Valleys, Antarctica. Publications: Two presentations/posters at AGU'11 (none of them as main author and I personally didn't attend the conference because I was doing my fieldwork in Antarctica) Accepted : UofRochester (Ph.D) Rejected: MIT/WHOI Waiting: MIT EAPS, Berkeley, Stanford, Columbia, UPenn (all Ph.D) So I have a question, I already had an informal meeting with my POI over at MIT, and we had a nice chat. However he was hinting that he probably would need a more experienced/senior student than someone who is fresh from an undergrad. The story is although I was applying both to the Joint program and MIT EAPS I'm basically applying to the same person. Since I got rejected from the Joint program does that mean my application to MIT EAPS is also toast or there is still a chance for me to get in there. I want to send an email asking the POI to clarify this but I'm kinda afraid to bother him and don't know what to say
LCBucky Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 @meki4life: No you're not toast. They are two separate programs, thus two different admission processes. I called them to clarify this back in November. You still have a chance at MIT. I don't think sending the POI an email would hurt any, since you've already had some good contact with them.
InquilineKea Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 Met 2 prospectives at UChicago yesterday. Prospective 1 (female, mineral physics): Accepted at UChicago and Michigan (and deciding between the two) Prospective 2 (female, mantle dynamics): Accepted at UChicago and applied to a bunch of others (but somewhat hesitant to reveal the other schools)

sansao Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 mineral physics...you don't hear that very often. Mineral physics was a lot of fun... that's one of the angles from which I want to approach marine geophysics. You can learn a lot about mantle dynamics from combining seismology, lattice and crystal growth processes, and stress/strain relationships. Granted, it's a sea (ha!) of matrix algebra, but it's amazingly interesting, too.
