  1. I had emailed a professor to express my interest in being a representative on the school council. She says she will need to wait until Thursday to see if other students are interested. If there are none, then I will get the position. What does this mean? Do I need to make extra effort (i.e. go to office to discuss)?
  2. I just started grad school at same university that I did my undergrad in. Over the summer, I had been working with profA and am very glad that he agreed to be my second advisor for next year`s thesis project. As for the first advisor, profA recommended me to ask profB or profC. I decided to ask both on different days. ProfB`s answer was something like ``send me an email to arrange a meeting to talk more specifically``. ProfC`s answer was something like ``I cannot make a decision so early in the program, but will consider you as the first student if no student wants to go overseas with me and if my sabbatical plans fall though`` There is also ProfD who is my current general advisor and who was one of the profs that recommended me into the program. But I have not yet asked. Questions I would like advice about: 1. Should I email ProfB for a meeting? 2. Would I offend ProfC if I reject her offer now instead of waiting few weeks later to see if she is actually available to be my first advisor? 3. Would ProfD be offended that I have not asked? ProfD and ProfA have totally different interests.
  3. I just started my Masters and have to do a class presentation next week about a theory. What do professors expect for in a presentation?
  4. I just started grad school and will be presenting a theory next week. The requirement is to read an article and think of some questions to facilitate class discussion. Any tips please on how to do a presentation in grad school? And how can I think "critically"?
  5. What is appropriate to write in thank you cards for professors that wrote recommendation letters? Can I write about how I'm thankful for their support? What about how I think of them (i.e. awesome professors)?
  6. Im still waiting to hear about funding for MA program. What would it mean if there is no funding? Would it mean the program doesn't want me? Or Im just overanalyzing?
  7. I just received a conditional offer saying that I need to maintain a certain average by undergrad graduation. There's no info about funding and potential TA/RA opportunity Is this normal?
  8. I see the accepted status on website.....but don't know if it's conditional or not?
  9. I just checked my personal student account, and noticed there was an offer posted. I did not get official email or package yet. Do I accept that link first, and then the official documents will arrive?
