quasigeostrophyI'm in! Via e-mail a few minutes ago from the Purdue Earth & Atmospheric Sciences department graduate secretary:
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Graduate Committee will recommend your admission to Graduate School at Purdue University for the Fall 2006 Semester for advanced study towards a M.S. degree. Formal notification will come directly to you from the Graduate School, from whom you should hear in a few weeks. Prof. L-T has indicated enthusiasm to act as your initial advisor. As such, she will assist you in formulating an initial (first semester) program of coursework and thesis research leading to the M.S. degree. Prof. L-T is pleased to offer you an appointment as a one-half time (20 hours per week) Research Assistant (RA) through the auspices of her NSF visualization grant.
*MAJOR SQUEEEEEE*
I know it says "M.S." but when I was at the admissions expo a couple of weekends ago, I talked with Dr. L-T about a Ph.D. She said it should be no problem after a semester or so to petition the graduate school to change my status. This gets me in! And I have to pay about $600 per semester in "graduate staff fees" but otherwise, tuition is waived and I'll be getting a stipend. Enough to pay for gas, food, and possible lodging if ever I'm there so late I don't want to drive all the way home.
SWEEEEET!
Now, the real work begins...
