LostGhost Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Hey all, I'm a recent graduate from a university in Louisiana and I'm on my way to becoming a sedimentologist(particularly with a focus in carbonates)! Overall GPA: 3.57 Major GPA : 3.8 Research Summary : -3D Seismic integration project (basin analysis) -XRD Analysis collaboration with CORE labs -Honor's project sedimentology research paper -Field work in France (stratigraphy, explaining a potential petroleum system) and Big Bend (mapping) Tons of presentations (none at conferences) Awards: President's list (4.0 gpa) twice and Dean's list (3.6 gpa) once. Undergrad degree was fully funded + stipends by scholarships based on my GPA, high ACT score and pell grant. Graduated Cum Laude. *also a female minority if that helps No undergraduate thesis sadly I was only in college for two years. I graduated at the age of nineteen and received an offer for nonthesis at the University of Houston. I declined because I want to find a project I'm passionate about and didn't get funding. Since I graduated so early I didn't think it'd hurt to be patient and take my time to apply again. I was rejected at Rice Uni due to my low GRE scores (150/149). I'm retaking the GRE in December for the next round of applications... with practice.. goal is 310-320 My top two schools for my focus are UT Austin and Miami. I'm also looking at LSU, TAMU, ASU, Stanford, CSU, U of Utah and Montana. I'm not particularly limiting myself to higher tiered schools. I'll be contacting a list of advisors I've researched and found soon and would love any input on other schools I meet the qualifications for / any great carbonate advisors ! I'm particularly interested in recognizing carbonates in seismic / climate change (ocean anoxic events, reef demise, analogs of past events to today) / carbonate reservoirs. Goal is to becoming a petroleum geologist in the end. Thanks in advance :-) Edited October 8, 2017 by LostGhost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I have exactly nothing productive to say (not my field), but I keep reading your title as "carbonated advisors". Didn't want to just keep it to myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to just keep it to myself... I thought the same thing also, but I suppose that it is better to have an advisor that is bubbly and energetic than one that is flat and stale.

sheldina Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm very familiar with Miami's geology department (my undergrad alma mater), let me know if you have any questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
