Considering the automotive industry is based up north, OSU may lead to more offers? Just speculating.

Not very important before you apply. Do your research on what PI's you'd like and apply to those schools. Then, if the school thinks you're a fit, they'll pay your way there for an interview.

Haven't even started school and professors are "encouraging me to check out their labs" when I arrive. Ego boost lol

Resurrecting this dead forum for all of us moving to Chas this summer/fall!!!

If anyone is seeking a roommate in Charleston, SC - send me a message!
Must love cats. -
I have previous employment experience at an animal medical facility, and IACUC ensures none of them are treated inhumanely. Some animals used in tumor studies made me sad, initially, but we were educated on tumor placement so it wouldn't interfere with the animal's range of motion. Those animals were treated better than most pets, let me tell you! I can't speak for all animal medical research but that's just my experience.

When I'm feeling down, I'm going to read your post there. That was so motivating! Congrats again!

Honesty appeared to be the best policy. After a long, uncomfortable conversation, they were obviously frustrated (rightfully so) and did their best to accommodate my situation. Thank you to all who responded.
-
Heck yeah!! Congratulations, you earned it!! Now go celebrate!

It's bad advice to get a job to make ends meet? You must have been born with a silver spoon in your mouth. An adult can get a job if they want one. There is no legal consequence to getting a job on grad school, especially if you need one.
-
What they don't know won't hurt them. If you can handle it, make that extra $! Just don't expect your professors to accommodate your outside schedule.
-
Nope it's good to show diversity and that you performed well in courses outside your main discipline. It's very supplementary/complementary

Thank you!! I was playing around with both at Best Buy and all the computer verbiage confuses me. I am going to wait til "back to school" sales hit this summer and hopefully combine that with a cashback site when ordering.

Anyone have opinions on the HP Spectre x360 or Lenovo Yoga 3?
-
Unfortunately, permanent.
-
Yes, I understand the consequences. No, I did not hold on to/accept an offer "just in case" Yes, I fully committed to a program with an April 15th deadline My life situation has changed and I need to withdraw from a program. Is there a right way to do it? What do you say and who do you speak to? Any help would be appreciated.

I think you need to walk away with your winnings before you gamble it all away. You're feeling validated by your success and it's natural to want more. If you like the program, why not give it a year and if you really want to switch, you can do that later and not have wasted time. You also may realize how fortunate you are to be in that program at all, and that switching solely for the purpose of prestige may make you wind up a loser because the fit may not be as good. You will get out of your education exactly what you put into it, anywhere.
-
Would you rather be in a concentrated environment (your program is the only offered) or an interdisciplinary research environment?
-
In my case, no, it's called a matriculation fee. But my other acceptance required nothing more than a signed piece of paper and a high-five (jk on that last part). Seriously, though. I wonder why some schools require it and others don't.
-
Is it normal to have a $400 fee for a PhD program?
-
$400 seems steep for a fully funded program!
-
Accepted off the waitlist today at my #1!!!
-
ACCEPTED! NOW I HAVE TO ACTUALLY CHOOSE BETWEEN SCHOOLS! CRUNCH TIME
-
Congrats, btw!
