I got my first letter from a grad school last weekend. It was neither an acceptance nor a rejection. I was recommended for acceptance at the University of Maryland, College Park pending my finding an adviser willing to sponsor me. I sent e-mails to seven people at UMD last weekend. Today I called the three people who responded to my request

What kinds of programs are you applying to?

[msmithma]

Oceanography, it might not seem like it from my time at Mudd but I have a big soft spot for seafaring and everyone loves continuum dynamics right?

I didn't know you were going back for your phD. Where else did you apply? Keep us updated! 2 body problems suck, but they are so common nowadays, people are very supportive.

UCSD, UCSB, Oregon State, Univ. of Washington, MIT/Woods Hole, Univ. of Rhode Island, Univ. of Delaware, Univ. of Maryland, Univ. of Miami

Where exactly in MD?

[msmithma]

College Park sort of, the main campus is there but the lab where all the folk I want to work with is near Cambridge MD.
