Dear ECOLOGers, I have recently been looking into applying to graduate schools, probably in conservation biology or sustainability studies. Though I have made an effort to answer these questions via basic internet searchs, helpful resources evade me. Therefore, if you could post any relevant personal advice, brutal honesty, links, or book recommendations I'd be grateful.
1. Being able to get an assistantship will determine what grad school and perhaps even what field I go into. How can I find out who does and does not offer them short of calling individual admission departments? 2. What should I be doing to become a competitive candidate for the few that are available? 3. Is there some kind of comprehensive list of programs related to conservation and/or biology? Thanks folks. -Frances Hall
