GeoMex Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I am definitively on a waitlist for the last school I'm waiting to hear from. At this point I'm more anxious to hear back about the NSF GRFP and NDSEG since winning one of them might get me off the waitlist. I work full time in an office environment and am getting restless in these last few weeks. Anyone have suggestions for productive ways to spend down time at work so I stop mindlessly refreshing my email every minute? I read literally every article on google news each day already. If nothing else, I've become a very informed citizen. Read articles related to your field, take online courses, watch videos of stuff you have forgotten or you're not that strong. That's what I've been doing. I enrolled to the Stanford course of Reservoir Geomechanics and have been reading a little to not get there clueless. There's a series of videos from the UT Austin in Reservoir Geomechanics (PPE 338 I think) and Advanced Geomechanics, you can watch those and take notes, etc. moochie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talkcherty2me Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I saw someone posted on the results page that they got waitlisted at Boulder. I'm going to guess at best that's what happened with me. I havent gotten any new decisions in 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechRxn Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Just waiting for April 15th...maybe I'll hear better news then. In the meantime, I'm thinking about putting in a late application to UNLV. I am wait-listed at UNLV...rough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethileptic Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Well, if anyone else here is doing atmos, I suppose I wanted to update saying that I have taken up UC Davis' offer.

I'm now sitting past the latest day I've heard in the past for people hearing word to the school I would like to go to. It's driving me insane.

watsondoodle Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Found out today that my advisor managed to snag me a TA position ! Nebraska here I come !!! Does anyone though have info on the job placement in oil as a whole at UNL ? Congrats! It's less about the school, and more about your research and advisor's connections. I expect the next few years to be lean for oil and gas, so be patient. Edited March 20, 2015 by watsondoodle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
