How to get into ERG?

Each year in the graduate program application season, I receive many questions from prospective students on ERG. I always try to be as helpful as possible since I was once one of the applicants. I'd like to put some shared resources below for those who are interested in ERG program. However, this has nothing to do with ERG official application. I'm not serving on the admission committee, and I'm not in a position to give you tips about how to apply but only to share the ERG spirit that I cherish.

Before you contact any current ERG student, it would be best if you can read the existing resources online About ERG, and ERG Admission. You can basically learn almost everything about ERG admission, ERG people, and ERG research online, in addition, you may check Life@ERG blog for the real life and perspectives of students and scholars at ERG. Following ERG on Twitter @ERGBerkeley and on Facebook The Energy and Resources Group is also a good way to stay tuned about ERG events and news.

Three "smart creatives" shaped the earlier stage of ERG, Charles K. (Ned) Birdsall, Mark N. Christensen, and John Holdren. This was documented well in a memorial piece of Ned Birdsall.
