FAQs

• The semester is starting in a few weeks, and I still have not heard back, what should I do?

  

  In these cases, at least one faculty member has expressed interest in retaining you in the applicant pool although we have not identified a funding mechanism to provide support for you and thus cannot admit you. In those cases please contact Leslie Davis at [email protected] from the departmental office for questions or information about your specific case, including discussion of having your application remain in consideration for the following semester.

• When are admission decisions made?

  

  For Fall term applicants, the admission process typically starts in early January and can continue through the middle of the summer as faculty win new research grants and identify applicants they wish to advise and to whom they would like to extend an offer of support as a graduate research assistantship (GRA). For Spring term applicants, the admission process typically starts in mid-November and can continue through the beginning of January as faculty win new research grants and identify applicants they wish to advise and to whom they would like to extend an offer of support as a graduate research assistantship (GRA). Note that typically, over 90% of all new graduate students start in the Fall term.

• How are admission decisions made?

  

  Admission to our Department largely depends on a faculty member indicating a willingness to advise a new student and to support the new student with a graduate research assistantship (GRA) to conduct research on a topic for which they have GRA funding. Faculty members make their own decisions about which applicants have the best background for conducting research in their lab based on information on application forms. Some faculty members conduct phone interviews and/or on site campus visits for promising applicants. Applicants who will be self-funded, e.g. with a NASA, SMART, or NSF fellowship or support through their place of employment, should bring this to the attention of the faculty with whom they would like to work.

• I submitted my application several weeks ago and have not heard anything. What is the status of my application?

  

  The status will be “under review” until a decision of admit or decline is reached. This means that your application can be under review for weeks or even months depending on when you submitted it. Note that we admit applicants on a rolling basis as our faculty win new research awards, however we typically decline applicants to whom we are not able to extend offers by the 3rd week in May for Fall term applicants, and by the 1st week of January for Spring term applicants.
