Hi there..
You are not alone It has happened with me. UT Austin (chemical engineering) sent me an official acceptance letter for the PhD program and my status was "admitted" on the website. I was super happy and I email to confirm my acceptance and boom got the reply that it was a mistake ! Wow! it was like someone just stabbed me and I was unable to breathe ..LOL..I sent emails to everyone in the department from Dean to Adcom but no reply. Finally, the grad advisor emailed to offer me admission in masters program which I politely declined.
This is my story ..hope you feel better..i dont know what to advice you.
Hi there,
I was wondering if it is ok (with permission of professor) to take notes during the interview. I am going to UIUC and will be having one-on-one interviews with ~8 faculty. In order to make a perfect decision (if offered admit), I want to make sure I dont miss any information that came out during the interview. So, want to take notes. Any thoughts on this idea ? Has anyone done this before ?
Hi there,
Did anyone attend the UIUC-MCB interview a week ago ? If yes, how was it ? Also, does anyone know how many candidates are called in for interviews (in general and for UIUC in particular) and how many are selected ? I will really appreciate the help.
Hi there !
