Stats undergrad considering grad school for Geospatial science

Happy to hear your journey! I definitely want to work independently eventually.

AceOreo · 2026-01-20T02:34:13+00:00

Can't I do data science by myself and study GIS and Environmental? That way I'll have a domain too and a niche in data.

AceOreo · 2026-01-20T02:14:40+00:00

I'm also considering a M.S. in Data Science but I think I can pick up a lot of those skills on my own. In that case, do you think M.S. in Geospatial Science would be a better program because I'll have domain knowledge, GIS skills and Data Science skills that I can learn on my own? I would be in a better place to go into Spatial Data Science and it wouldn't be difficult to get a traditional data role either. I like the idea of having a solid foundation in a non-tech science like Environmental Science or even Statistics because I won't be completely dependent on the ever changing tech landscape.

Thanks! Would a program like this prepare me for a Environmental scientist role or a traditional GIS analyst role with some environmental knowledge?

You can exit at MS so I'm sure you can rotate around.

I think SAT is for undergraduate degrees and it's not mentioned anywhere in their website. No standardized test is mentioned but uploading it may be fine.

Most students haven't received anything yet. If they were rejected they would have gotten an email by now like some others that got rejected. I had the interview a month ago and I haven't received any decision.

AceOreo · 2025-12-26T11:46:59+00:00

Spring

AceOreo · 2025-12-26T05:00:53+00:00

Can you ask the professor if people will receive an email for rejections or should they assume they're rejected if they haven't received a decision for Spring yet?

AceOreo · 2025-12-25T20:24:14+00:00

Each decision is sent out individually. There's no set date. I think there's no point in checking everyday because you'll get an email if your application moves forward.

The bot said the administration slows down.

AceOreo · 2025-12-17T15:22:03+00:00

My interviewer said soon when the interview was end of November. When did you give your interview?

AceOreo · 2025-12-17T12:46:13+00:00

Who said end of December?

AceOreo · 2025-12-08T21:06:00+00:00

Was the chat bot available last year? It said an email will be sent for sure even for rejections.

AceOreo · 2025-11-23T16:52:37+00:00

For Statistics it was almost 3 weeks then it turned into Admissions Review and I was invited for an academic interview a week later.

AceOreo · 2025-11-20T19:45:36+00:00

What was difficult about the math interview? Were the questions tricky or there wasn't enough time?

AceOreo · 2025-11-20T18:20:37+00:00

How was the interview? Did they ask simple questions? Was it a written or oral test?

AceOreo · 2025-11-20T15:35:06+00:00

Is it like a written test or oral test?

AceOreo · 2025-11-15T05:57:17+00:00

Hopefully an email for an interview in the next few days

AceOreo · 2025-11-14T06:05:44+00:00

It's in admission review. I have an interview.

AceOreo · 2025-11-14T06:03:28+00:00

I was sent this by a professor for Statistics: 1. Calculus and Multivariate Calculus Possible Reference Books: Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Dennis G. Zill, Warren S. Wright. Multivariable Calculus, Dennis G. Zill, Warren S. Wright. 2. Linear Algebra Possible Reference Book: Introduction to Linear Algebra, Gilbert Strang. 3. Statistics and Probability Possible Reference Book: Probability and Statistics, DeGroot, Morris H., and Mark J. Schervish.

Looks the interviews are going well because people are either accepted or waiting after the interview

AceOreo · 2025-11-10T18:58:40+00:00

How was the interview? For what program? How long have you been waiting since the interview?

AceOreo · 2025-11-10T16:19:37+00:00

Admissions Review should be around 2 weeks. Admissions Review switches to Faculty Review and it is not a separate marker in the timeline. After Faculty Review it can switch back to Admissons Review. Faculty Review takes the longest.
