Being overworked and underpaid for the best years of your life just because the department you're a member of has chosen to use you as slave labor instead of hiring more professors/post-docs isn't enough?

Old Dominion's I/O interview day was the 26th of February.

Luckily I didn't apply to any of the programs in this thread. I wonder what the switch from 'in eval' to 'acad review' means though, and why the OP's hasn't switched over (and why my has). oh well, got a bunch of interviews lined up anyways

Haven't heard anything either. But my application switched from "in evaluation" to "academic review" about a month ago. Who knows.

It's not a big deal, it means you weren't accepted as a first-choice, and you weren't rejected either. You are on the wait list, which is for when the people who were accepted as a first-choice decide to go to other schools. It means "Have fun not knowing anything until at least April"

He's not trying to be a jerk, he's trying to be realistic. It's one thing to shoot for your dreams, it's another thing to chase an unreasonable goal and assume everything will be fine. Nothing pretentious about it.

And coincidentally, the kind of student that's most likely to be in your cohort.
