magnetite Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) @Tidus That's fine. I mainly wanted to know if they've sent out invitations to their open house weekend, which it seems they have. Thanks. Edited March 6, 2016 by magnetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidus Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Yeah, pretty sure all have gone out. They did all the visits in one weekend just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know anything about the school ? Hot Damn! I didn't know they were giving out responses yet. My friend and I both applied there and were told word would be sent out sometime this week concerning results. Anyways, the program there has a good recruitment reputation with industry, and they are well funded. I have a lot of friends that are doing grad school at my undergrad institution (texas tech) that adored the school in general. If there's an opportunity to visit, be sure to do so!

Still waiting on Tulsa and New Mexico State, but I am not sure it even matters at this point. Sorta regretting not applying to some more prestigious schools...sorta.

I suspect it helped my application a lot to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eita1989 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 @Tidus Thank you~ I am interested in ENSO and PDO. Polar climate seems like a very hot topic in the next few years. Professors doing this research have a lot of funding. There are great chances in polar climate, I should notice that and try to know more about it before my application. However, it's too late now.

I'm actually still waiting on Texas Tech but I highly doubt I'll get in since they already sent out their first wave. It doesn't matter I'm happy with Iowa and Oklahoma state. Now if SMU accepts me I'll be super happy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheeppool Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Received an offer from Purdue with TA funding. Other schools seem to have forgotten me. No interviews, no waitlists, nothing. Should I give up and just accept this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yunix Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 @sheeppool Totally. You should accept your Purdue offer now. To hell with all the other programs since they obviously don't care enough to tell you anything one and half months before the deadline. To hell with all the application fees as well - ain't life too short for waiting. Sorry about the trolling. My serious answer: No. Wait with patience.

Some of the schools I'm waiting on (SMU) still haven't sent anything out yet to anyone so I'm waiting patiently even though I have two offers. Just wait and see who accepts you then make a discision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savingtehplanet Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Have a PhD admit from UIUC NRES and a fully funded MS from UW SEFS. Will most probably choose the latter. No word yet on MIT EAPS or UC Davis Soils or Stanford EESS so I reckon I have already been rejected. Congratulations to all who got in! geo717 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both me and my friend who did their undergraduate degrees there applied and haven't heard a word. The advisors we have, both have been really pitching to us to stay there (they're the ones who had us apply in the first place!). Yet, I'm fairly sure it's getting a bit late in the season and we haven't heard back yet. Recruitment events usually occur late February. I have gotten recruitment invitations to both University of Nevada at Reno and New Mexico Tech and visited both schools so I'm pretty content (I should really say excited) at this point with either of these options. Hopefully they officially admit me soon. Still congrats on Oklahoma State - that school is a top notch option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question for you, did you submit official transcripts and your official GRE score report to the school? I sent scannned copies of everything because I wanted to save money on sending all those documents. It was my understanding that they can make a decision on your application and if admitted you can send in all the official stuff if you choose to attend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I emailed the grad coordinator and asked about "verify Bachelor's" on the application portal, and he said to send a copy of my official transcripts with my application. But I don't know if the official stuff was all required before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
