Dear all,
I am applying from abroad to MA programs both in America and abroad in Development Studies and Sociology. A potential advisor from a top choice program has been in email contact with me and has helped me tremendously (advices, etc.). Yesterday I emailed him after submitting my application just to say thank you, and he emailed back and said he would be in my area (Eastern Europe) doing fieldwork in early February, and would like to meet with me.
I'm extremely honored by the offer and have let him know right away I would love to meet and chat. At the same time, I'm very nervous about the meeting. I don't know if it would be like an informal interview, or more of a casual talk. Any advice on what I should prepare going into it? Thanks!
Oh and by potential advisor, I mean that all the institutions I applied to have PhD offerings and I have indicated my interest to continue to the PhD after the MA.
