NSF Fellowships in the Geophysical Sciences?

[InquilineKea]

Has anyone here applied to them in the area? And do they look at the Physics GRE score at all?

I'm just wondering - maybe we could share resources with each other. I've never seen anyone else (on the Internet) apply to them in the field yet.

I haven't personally applied to any but I was told from a friend of mine who has applied that the Physics GRE isn't looked at.

I'll ask my friend today though and see what he says about the process.

Pretty sure that, as of 2010, NSF GRFP isn't accepting GRE scores as part of the application.

I know someone who did (atmospheric stuff, like you want to go for)--and who got it--but that was a long time ago. Long ago as in "this person is now a tenured professor." (Yes, I'm older than dirt.)

She didn't take the physics GRE at all; she didn't come in with a physics degree, but rather some sort of engineering.
