[Peluchín]

Hello, while I was looking for information in the web I found your link... Now I am a member. Congratulations for this idea of sharing comments on exams and applications!

I am in the process of applying to several universities, I have already decided which ones for my MS/Ph.D in Environmental Engineering and sciences. I don´t know if these Us are good choices, I have reviewed the programs and I think they suit me well. Maybe you can tell more about their rankings in Environmental and the possibility of admission according to my records.

TOEFL (09/25/2003): 250 / L:25-S,W:25-R:25-Essay: 4.5
GRE (11/05/2003): Q:800 V:470 AW:3.5 (very low)
