Is anyone here in the MIT EAPS program? (coming from an astrophysics student)

<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>So I'm applying to grad schools next year, and MIT EAPS is definitely on the top of my list. Anyways, I'm an intensely interdisciplinary person with astro+physics+math majors, and I read academic journal articles (in every natural+social science field) for fun. My best LORs will actually come from atmospheric science professors (as I've taken a lot of grad-lvl courses - mostly from the atmospheric science department here). My primary interest is probably planetary science, but the intersection of EAPS and environmental science would also be extremely interesting for me.</p>

<p>Anyways - is anyone else here an EAPS major? Also, how competitive is the program in general? (as in, what percent of applicants do they take?)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m not an EAPS major, but I do know that MIT doesn’t admit people by majors. You’re admitted to the school as a whole rather than a particular division and don’t declare a major until you’ve had at least one semester.</p>
