- Notes
- So my UCLA timeline (I'm the guy on page 2 talking about the FAFSA). I applied and then over the next few weeks I tried to contact academics with similar research interests (heat transfer, not interested in the fluid mech faculty at UCLA). Early Jan I got a reply from an academic saying that he saw my email and was interested in my research and has put me in a pool of applicants for three positions he had. Since then I've been in touch and scheduled an interview (no other academics got back to me). On the morning of the interview (6th of Feb), I got offered a place, without the mention of any funding however. We discussed some fellowship paths as well as was told it takes about two weeks to announce all TAs. My takeaway from my admission in Michigan too is that you should contact academics with SPECIFIC research interests. I've made a google drive for each uni which I link whenever I email people. BEST OF LUCK
