12	Joaquin Vieira	University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign	Physics	PhD	No	YES
13	Andreas Berlind	Vanderbilt	Astrophysics	PhD	NO - will not consider it if submitted	There is no fee	The Graduate School requires the general GRE, but we do not give any weight to it
14	Peter Frinchaboy	Texas Christian University			NO - will not consider it if submitted	No
15	Caitlin Casey	University of Texas at Austin	Astronomy	PhD	NO - will not consider it if submitted	Yes	Fee waivers can be difficult to find; I recommend contacting our graduate student coordinator (in astronomy) for help with this: studentinfo@astro.as.utexas.edu
16	Alison Sills	McMaster University			NO (and not the general GRE either)	Case by case basis	Canadian PhD (up to 4 yrs) typically done after MSc (up to 2 yrs)
17	Eric Perlman	FIT			NO (but recommended)	Yes (ask - easier than it seems on website)

23	Tom Maccarone	Texas Tech University			NO, will consider if submitted, but is low weight factor. General is also optional	We will evaluate applications without the fee being paid, but the fee must be paid for formal admission. Essentially, rejection is free except in rare cases where the central Graduate School overrules the departmental decision (which almost exclusively for foreign students with qualifications that translate poorly to the US system, and usually can be worked around)	Must send materials to the graduate school, and to m.sanati@ttu.edu have application considered without paying fee
24	Brian Siana	University of California, Riverside	Physics & Astronomy	PhD	Yes	Yes	Fee waivers for certain domestic students. Email grdadmis@ucr.edu for more info. (http://graduate.ucr.edu/domestic.html)
25	Henry Ngo	Caltech	Physics	PhD	Yes	YES (ask - easier than it seems on website)
26	Henry Ngo	Caltech	Astronomy	PhD	Yes	YES (ask - easier than it seems on website)
