Yale’s school of Forestry & Environmental Studies seems to weigh less on GPA. However, a lower GPA does NOT mean that its an easier program to get into. The average work experience was 2-3 years, hence Yale seems to value relevant work experience.

One thing I noticed about energy and environmental programs is that they value relevant work/research.

Another thing I noticed about these programs is that the applicants are usually graduate students, trying to earn their second masters.

Some well known energy programs are: ERG from Berkeley or Tech. and Policy from MIT. I truly think that Yale’s School of Forestry & Renewable Energy is just as competitive.
