Hello, all

I am desperately seeking some help on graduate level film schools.  I am
very much interested in pursuing a career in film but I have one problem:
I'm a dual degree major at Georgia Tech. In May 1993, I'll be receiving a
BS in Math and in June 1993, I'll be receiving a BS in ME.  I realize
that this is a highly unusual background for a potential filmmaker, but I am
certain that film is were I want to be. 

I received some info from the American Film Institute(AFI) and their program
sounds the best, but it is highly competitve. If anyone out there attends AFI
or knows someone who does could you please e-mail me. What is AFI looking for
in a potential fellow? What do they expect in a film submission?

I would greatly appreciate any info/help Thanx in advance :)

Send e-mail to edsum02@venus.lerc.nasa.gov (expires 9-4-92)
or e-mail me at GT  -->gt9153a@prism.gatech.edu

Okay, another quick question in the same vein....

I've been out of college for a few years (like, y'know, 3 or so), working
as a network administrator and doing some hacking (keeping a hand in, so
to speak).

How much are grad schools willing to compensate a candidate on their GRE (esp.
the CS GRE) for being out of college for a while?  I mean, I was really rusty
on a lot of subjects when I took the CS GRE....I just got my scores back today
and I'm left with the impression that I should consult the Human Resources
department at my nearest McDonalds.... ;-)

Hi,

I hope to apply to the following schools for a Ph.D. in Civil Engg. (Geotechnical). 

1. Univ of California, Davis
2. Univ of Michigan, Ann Arbor
3. Northwestern Univ
4. Univ of Houston
5. Univ of Texas, Austin
6. Univ of Colorado, Boulder

I'm interested in the area of Soil-Dynamics, specifically, modelling dynamic soil-structure interaction for offshore/deep foundations, both theoretical and experimental. I believe that all the schools mentioned above have strong research interests in this area.

If you happen to be working in a related area at one of these schools, or at some other school, I would appreciate any information you might have to send me about the Ph.D. program, as regards faculty, current research projects etc.

Thanks,

Sanjoy

ETS archives the scores for 25 years, I think.  After about 10, however, they
offload the scores from tape to paper and put them in filing cabinets or some
such archive.  Thus, if you order a copy of your scores from the dim past (as I
did... tested in 1979, ordered in 1989) ETS takes considerably longer to send
them out.

Most schools consider GRE scores to be valid for no more than 5 years, but this
is a policy set by the individual schools.

Some other people may be interested in the answer to this.  Try
the NWSA (National Women's Studies Association), the AAUW
(American Association of University Women), The Center for the
Education of Women (at the University of Michigan--I think you
must attend a program at U. of MI to receive one of their
fellowships).  There are others I can't remember offhand.  If
you have access to a university database that lists fellowships
and their selection criteria, you might try checking under
"women" or "women's studies."

                - What do you think of the program in general?
                - How do you like the environment which they provide and in
                  fact, what is that enviornment like?

        Any information which you would share with me I would be greatly
appreciate.
        Thank you in advance for your time and trouble.

    Only if you really bomb it.  Get good recommendations if you can,
and that should help.   Fortunately, you are in an area (materials
science) where very few others are, so if you are pretty decent,
a lot of places will want you.   At least, that's my impression.

Well, I took the CS-GRE in early August (through some special deal w/U.
Washington), and I have these observations:

I purchased the CS-GRE study book from ETS (~$11), and the book included two
tests: 1 practice length test, and a full-length released exam from a few
years ago.  They were helpful in that they gave me the instructions ahead of
time, so I could familiarize myself with their notation schemes.  Also, it
pointed out which of my text books I had to go dig out of my packing boxes and
reveiw (I graduated from my under grad institution in Aug of '90, so I'm
really rusty on automata theory. ;-).  

If I'd spent a bit more time reviewing digital logic, I could have picked up
about 4-5 more questions, but that's neither here nor there.

Bear in mind that I was only able to answer about 40 of the 80 questions, and
of those I'm praying that I got 30 right....so I'm not really the person you
want to be taking advice from.  ;-)

A quick question:

There are Ph.D. programs and MS programs in CS.  I am assuming that I can
apply for a Ph.D. program in CS straight out of my undergraduate degree.  In
other words, I don't have to have a MS degree before I can apply to a Ph.D.
program, right?

 Let me ask one question please. I do not mean any insult and forgive
my ignorance. But why they even made such a major at all? Why there is no
men studies!!? In other words, who really started such a subject? Do they
really pay ypou government grants to do such a study? Do they even give
Ph.D. in this area and if they do, what are the nature of your courses?

      I suppose it varies by school, but I used a xerox copy of the form I 
received from ETS to get admitted to the Phd program in the University of
Houston college of business last fall (91).
      I took the GRE in 1977.

      While this doesn't answer your question about how long ETS keeps the
scores, it does show the advantages of being a packrat.

Hmm.....GRE scores is valid for 25 years IF you took the test between 
Oct 1, 1972 and Sep 30, 1985. 

All GRE that are taken after that will be valid for only 5 years.
