On April 3, I attended MIT’s visitation day for prospective students in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. After a breakfast for all students visiting the department, those of us who were accepted into the Master of Science in Transportation program, about twenty of us, were taken by Dr. Joseph Sussman to go through our [...]
On March 19, the University of California-Berkeley’s transportation engineering faculty and students hosted myself and four other potential graduate students. This was not the main visitation for prospective transportation students, which on April 10 clashed with my family trip to Cleveland, but instead was an Open House for the entire Civil and Environment Engineering (CEE) [...]
On March 13, the University of Texas’s transportation engineering faculty and students hosted myself and two other potential graduate students. The students held a cookout on Thursday night and I was introduced to 20+ folks in the program at one time. For this visit, graduate students offered up their places for us to stay, so [...]
Last week Dr. Moshe Ben-Akiva from MIT called me to let me know I was accepted into their Master of Science in Transportation program. In the follow-up email they informed me I would be funded through the MIT Energy Initiative Fellowship. This was the last school I was waiting to hear from. Their visitation is [...]
On March 6, Georgia Tech’s transportation engineering faculty and students hosted myself and three other potential graduate students. The students of the program gave us a tour of campus and the Sustainable Education Building which houses the transportation labs and faculty offices. In the afternoon I had the opportunity to talk with five faculty members, [...]
Got word on Friday from both University of California-Berkeley and University of Texas-Austin that I was accepted into their graduate programs. Berkeley has offered a Graduate Student Reserach position and invited me out to visit on April 10 (although I found out later that I will not be able to go that day because I [...]
In the past two and a half weeks I have been accepted into two graduate programs. I got a phone call on Saturday January 24 from Dr. Laurie Garrow at Georgia Tech letting me know of my status, and received an email last Thursday February 5 from Purdue University telling me of my acceptance.

This afternoon I submitted the last of my applications to graduate school. I have sent them to civil engineering departments to begin study in Autumn 2009 at the following universities:
Georgia Institute of Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
North Carolina State University
Purdue University
University of California-Berkeley
University of Texas-Austin
I hope to visit all the schools which accept me, as I [...]
