Thanks a lot mollbiebatmit. If it isn’t too much trouble for you, would you mind asking you husband if he knows anything about Prof. RJ. Hansman and ICAT (International center for air trasnportation). That’s the lab I’m really interested in applying to. I’d e-mail the prof right now but am too chicken to do it without at least having at least a little inside info on him and the lab and, what kind of students he likes to take,…etc. I know admissions are handled by the dept. but i’ve heard if a prof. likes you and has clout he can take if your GPA isn’t too terrible. I’d venture to say mine isn’t too awful but maybe it is by MIT standards.

Thanks a lot.
