Thanks. I only wanted to do it at the school I think I want to go to.

Once you are accepted to a program, is it appropriate to email professors you met with (had previously sent thank you note and gotten nice response) asking if they plan to take on students? Thanks

Oh man. I'm sorry :(. That's one of my biggest concerns. I'm naturally an introvert so interviews are so exhausting!

Based on what I have seen at the interviews I have gone too, I would do business casual for Friday and Saturday - I don't think a full suit is necessary even for the interviews. Maybe just add a tie for Saturday? I think that casual is fine for Friday and Sunday, but still look presentable. Again, this is just based on my experiences so far and trying to remember what the boys were wearing. Good luck and have a great time!

That's awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks. I definitely don't have one specific PI for any of these schools. I am all about keeping an open mind. I was just curious how they paired us up

Apart from taking into account faculty members you list interest in, how do programs determine who you meet with?

About a week

anyone interviewing at CSHL next week feel free to PM me

I emailed them to give them a different address and they confirmed the date. I haven't had time to fill out the questionnaire yet.

I'm going that weekend too, but I thought it was the 25-27?

Congrats! What date are you guys going? I put Genetics and Genomics; Molecular and Cell Biology; Stem Cells, Development, Regeneration and Aging

Yes

Thanks @miky @GeneWeaver @Micecroscopy @HopefulPHD14! I went ahead and emailed it so hopefully I will get the papers

weird question, but as I am preparing for interviews, I am trying to read a couple of my POIs' papers, but my school does not have access to them. Would it be appropriate to email the POI and ask for a copy? Or would that be seen as annoying?

YES! I know I shouldn't worry so much, but I have worked so hard for my GPA and want to finish strong. also eyeing some school awards...

Wow, $500 isn't enough for me for some of my flights, and I'm domestic! Good luck!

Several of the schools I have interviews at have specifically told us we will share a room with another interviewee, and I am assuming that 2 per room is pretty standard, but just an assumption

Thank you! adcom

I heard about an hour ago. Good luck!

Total guess, but they probably just have people who can't attend the second date and have filled the first date already, so they want to try to get anyone they can to switch to even out the numbers. I wouldn't be worried.

Congrats!

Great! Thanks. California weather has spoiled me...

Thanks for the advice! I am definitely not wearing heels because I am not even comfortable walking short distances in them . For cold locations, do you think nice sweaters would be appropriate? With nice pants? I am not really a dress/skirt person. Thanks
