I'm still thinking about Scripps or Cal. Oh, neat! I haven't gotten the offer in writing yet, but yes - EPS. About 91% sure I will end up there now. What's giving you pause on your decision, if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's giving you pause on your decision, if I may ask? You should receive the offer soon. When my POI recommend for admission I got the written offer letter the next day. I'm 91% sure I will end up in Berkeley too, haha. However, I'm thinking carefully my decision because the geophysics program in Scripps is very suitable for someone who doesn't have a geophysical background (I'm an engineer). Besides, my POI there is a really good researcher and the place is wonderful. Can I send you a PM? I'd be happy to meet a prospective classmate!.

I haven't heard from them directly, but have some reliable connections with UA. As of a week ago I heard that they are on the last stretch of applicants at this point, the grad coordinator is basically in the process of filling in the last few spots. There may be hope yet, just say positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goosejuice Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Does anyone know the status of University of Washington, University of Tennessee Knoxville, and Georgia Tech? I know UW says they expect decisions to be made by 4/15, but I'm wondering if they have already made them and just send out rejections on that day instead. I haven't heard a single thing from UTK and GT, nor do I know of any particular dates regarding their decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a large department and I'm sure they're swamped with applications. It can't hurt to shoot an email to whoever you applied to work with just to check in.

ma1212 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hello guys. I am officially admitted to the Ph.D. program in Mechanical Engineering for Fall 2018 into the University of New Hampshire (UNH). Unfortunately, I still have not found a specific supervisor since they have not responded to my emails yet. I’m writing to ask whether there is any chance that I choose my supervisor after starting my study at UNH? The second question is that it is written into my admission letter that "if you are awarded any financial aids, you will be notifed by email". how do you think? can anyone help that how long should I wait for it? and is there any chance to receive any scholarship or other types of aids without a recommendation of supervisor?

JetPlane_the Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 GaTech is insanely slow with the process... the POI isn't even looking at my letters now. Guess I'll just have to take that as a rejection. Penn State is also silent these days. Those two are basically the schools I'm still waiting with no response. If I don't hear back from them until this Friday, I guess I'll have to go with OSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goosejuice Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I'm guessing places like GT and Knoxville have decision processes that are affected by their semester system (as opposed to the quarter system for a lot of places). Though I would also assume that because their prospective applicants are also dealing with April 15 deadlines for other schools, that date should still be significant for GT/Knoxville and might be when they shift their waitlists a bit. Speaking of waitlists, anyone know how common it is to get accepted via waitlist in the earth/planetary sciences? Even though these programs don't seem to always notify applicants that you're on a waitlist, the fact that they haven't rejected you must mean that you're interesting enough to still be considered?
