Hello. I am currently abroad this semester and do not think I can make it to any visitation days from the departments I have been accepted to (the travel supplements they provide are sadly not enough for a round trip ticket back to the states!). Thus, I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what I should do for the schools I have been accepted to. I have been telling the schools that I can Skype for an interview if necessary. Do you think that is enough?

Hello. My boyfriend and I have applied to graduate school together for the Fall 2010 school year. I am applying for an engineering program and he is applying for mathematics. Because we are hoping to go to graduate school together, we each applied to the same 10 schools. Within the past couple of weeks, we each have heard back from a few departments, however, unfortunately none of the departments we have been accepted to have been from the same school. Thus, I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to what is the most we can do in order to try and get in to a school together? What I mean by that is, should we each contact our respective departments and tell them of our situation? Would those departments possibly contact the other department of the school of the person that hasn't been accepted yet and urge them to accept if possible? Or... should we just e-mail the departments we have not been accepted to yet and tell them of our situation?
