@maxhgns Hey, Thank you so much for a detailed response. That cleared the majority of doubts I had about the world of Academia. One doubt which remains is, what is a "double-masked peer review journal?"

Hey there, A lot of times I have seen and heard that publishing an article in an International journal immensely helps in improving a PhD applicaion. Now, there are certain questions which arise in my mind when I see this - 1) How does one search for journals? 2) Can any random person in the world publish an article? For example - A person who works in McDonalds suddenly decides he wants to pursue a PhD and starts writing an article to get it published in a journal. 3) Is affiliation to any organization or university required to publish an article? Is it necessary that one who wishes to get his article published has to be a student or a teacher? Can unemployed people also attempt to do it? Please ignore if my questions come off as very basic, I am a newbie in the world of Academia. Looking forward to any response, thank in advance

I haven't generated any prompts as of now, nor have I entered any of my recommendor's contact details. The IT department's email-ID is usually not given on the websites. I suppose I'm better off starting a new application for all universities with my personal e-mail ID. Thanks a lot for the input! @fuzzylogician

Hey, As of now, I haven't submitted any application at all. Although I have started all the applications with my university e-mail, which is going to be invalid starting from new year. Until now, I have only entered my personal details such as DOB, contact etc. What do you suggest me to do? Leave these applications as they are and start new applications with my personal e-mail? Or contact each admissions department requesting them to update my e-mail?

Hey, I graduated earlier this year from university. So I have started all my applications for universities in US (more than 7) with my university E-mail. However, just yesterday it came to my notice that my university e-mail won't be valid since January 2018. I had no clue that such a problem was going to occur. I am now willing to use my personal e-mail. What shall I do now? Should I send an e-mail to each department I have applied about the change in my e-mail ID? Or should I directly start a new application for each program with my personal e-mail? Any advice or help is highly appreciated. Thank you

@TheScienceHoney@TakeruK Thanks for your input guys. I will check out the application system of each university and decide accordingly what to do. Good luck with your applications!

Hey guys, So I was wondering, will it be possible for me in the future to change one of my recommendors? The problem is, one of my recommendors is usually a very busy person, and I'm not sure if he would have the time to write a recommendation letter. Although he has confirmed of his willingness of providing me with a recommendation. So in case the teacher doesn't submit the recommendation, does the online application system of universities allow me to delete a recommendor and add a new one whenever I would like to do it before the deadline? Another problem I have is, as I am unsure of this third recommendor, So is it possible to just submit the details of two recommendors, while leaving the third one blank for now? Or the application system just takes the details of all three recommendors together? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanking you.

@Psygeek, @Sandmaster Thanks a lot. That helped. Good luck with your applications! It's a relief to know that ETS takes 4-5 days only.

Hey guys, I attempted the GRE earlier this year, to apply for Admissions to the fall 2018 sessions. So after being prepared with other parts of the application, I now need to send my GRE scores to the universities. The first application deadline comes on 15th December followed by several other deadlines in January. I am an International applicant Am I too late to send my GRE scores? What should I do? If I send the scores today, will they reach before 15th December? The same goes with my TOEFL scores. Any help appreciated
