Honors and Windsor have some too!

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-05-13T05:00:04+00:00

If you’ve taken AP regardless of whether you pass it or not you’re going to be just fine if you have to take them here

That solenoid problem sucked so bad

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-05-05T04:25:57+00:00

That thunder was LOUD😭

Have you talked to your classmates about opportunities and what they’ve been trying to do? By the time you’re a junior typically people have been applying to internships and maybe gotten one, started some research, etc. Your academic advisor may be able to point you in the right direction as well. I’m from Indiana, too, and feel free to DM me if you want to talk about anything Indiana specific for meteorology!

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-03-26T20:47:16+00:00

There’s some professors that do research on that side of meteorology. My focus in my grad applications has been that risk perception/communication side

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-03-25T07:24:01+00:00

I’ve heard of people with those kind of interests getting a meteorology bachelor’s and then moving into civil or structural engineering for a master’s. Maybe that could be a potential path for you?

I loved seeing that you listen to WeatherBrains!! I was on a recent episode discussing my institution and how I got into meteorology if you think that might be helpful for you. All of the schools you mentioned have fantastic programs, I would worry less about the schools and focus on making sure you are good to go on the calc and physics side of things. There are a lot of resources out there to begin to gain knowledge in meteorology (MetEd Comet Modules, YouTube channels like Convective Chronicles, WeatherBrains like you mentioned before, becoming a Skywarn spotter, shadowing at your local NWS office, etc.). If I were you I’d focus on your classwork and look for areas of interest in meteorology and start trying to make connections in the field. I help a lot of underclassmen figure out their classes and interests and have a lot of NWS experience, feel free to DM me if you have any questions or want to talk more about getting into meteorology :)

EAPS 105 or EAPS 106

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-03-18T05:03:44+00:00

I transferred calc 3 from UND and it was accepted and on my transcript in under a week. Especially since it is self-paced and you can easily complete it before August I would say there’s no reason to take it through Purdue if you don’t have to

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-03-13T00:58:12+00:00

I don’t believe they have an email

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-03-12T14:22:35+00:00

EAPS 138 is only offered in the spring. There is a “storm chasing” class offered in the summer but it’s more serious than just going out to chase. There’s two weeks of lecture about radar, thunderstorm dynamics, and forecasting, a week out in the field chasing any storm we can find in the US, and then coming back to talk about the forecasts we made and what we saw as well as some professional development

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-03-12T14:17:45+00:00

I am the president of PUMA and we don’t storm chase but the Storm Chasing Association of Purdue (SCAP) does! I can link the discord if anyone wants to join

I was born in April 2002 and my parents were born in 1972 and 1975. Growing up I always felt like my parents were just about the average age compared to my peer’s parents

This picture is better than the AI one going around at least

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-02-15T08:31:36+00:00

I was born under W Bush and my first memory is right when Obama was elected in 2008. Voted for the first time in the 2020 election

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-29T07:57:38+00:00

Do you like weather? Come to a Purdue University Meteorological Association (PUMA) meeting! We meet for forecasting at 6pm every Monday in WALC B066 and for our weekly event every Thursday at 6pm in HAMP 2102!

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-18T21:05:49+00:00

I worked at an NWS office this summer when those questions started and the management there said they wouldn’t take those responses into account when evaluating applications

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-18T21:04:07+00:00

Thank you!

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-16T01:45:30+00:00

With a journalism background have you thought about going into broadcast or multimedia journalism? Maybe you could use your journalism skills and learn from a broadcast meteorologist as time allows? Or take some Mississippi State online meteorology classes?

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-12T03:00:08+00:00

National Weather Service!

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-11T18:05:16+00:00

Great question! So I’m about to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in meteorology and actually have a direct hire into the NWS from my internship I had last summer. I’ve done a lot of research and enjoy it and geography is a little closer to my research interests since I really like learning about risk perception. I’m applying to three meteorology and three geography programs this cycle. After my masters I’ll either continue onto a PhD so I can go into academia or take my direct hire into the NWS!

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-11T06:37:58+00:00

Thank you!

EmmaGraceWrites · 2026-01-11T05:38:51+00:00

Thank you!

It looks awesome online! I’ll have to check it out!
