ASG2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The wait for Purdue (Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences) and UMD (Atmospheric & Oceanic Science) still continues. Guys, it's mid-March and is it safe to assume that I was not selected?? Â Anyone with admits or decisions from the above two kindly post. Any idea about the general time frame when these universities roll out admits for domestic and international students?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I have spoken with two people who attended their visitation weekend. Thank you for letting us know this piece of information. However, I am an International applicant, hence visitation would not be an option. Can you kindly share whether those two friends of yours were accepted?for MS or PhD??

Jansom Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the congrats on Stony Brook. I've heard alot of good things and I'm heading for a visit on the 28th. Its a school where I never was able to get a PI to email me back so I'm interested to see how good it is for research fit. Â I got the U of Houston email too, but I'm never sure how to take it when they say no decision has been made. It could just mean no paperwork made it to the graduate school, but all the offers have already been made. Â I might just wait to see what URI says now that I know there's one opening still available. Â Good luck to everyone that made it in and everyone still waiting.

Â Â I haven't rejected it yet; I am waiting to see what my POI says about funding and projects. URI was one of my top choices originally but quickly fell. I can still switch as long as its before april 15th. but yes, I will probably(99.999999%) be declining it. Edited March 15, 2014 by GeoDUDE!

abby_wyn Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 A professor from OSU emailed me and asked if I was still interested in the program. If yes he could set up the time to talk to me about the program. I have not received this kind of email before. What do you make of that? Is that like an interview? What should my attitude be towards this? I apologize if these questions are dumb. I just do not know what to expect. Appreciate all your help!

Â Well they're obviously interested in you or else they wouldn't be contacting you. Â It might be that they want to convince you that their research is a good fit or that they're trying to gauge if you're a good fit. Â But obviously on paper they like what they see. Â Â My attitude would be one of information gathering and trying to put forth the best impression. Â Ask about what you feel is important in a graduate program and try to figure out if its a good fit for you! Â Try to be thoughtful in your responses to their questions. Â Â Good luck!
