Happy Valentine's Day! I hope everyone has a good start to the weekend, some chocolate, and the chance to reload GradCafe in a different setting than usual

Thank you! I'm trying to familiarize myself a lot more with his work, he's in American politics and I'm in CP so I'm working on finding the overlaps with what he does and what I'm interested in to find things to discuss Thank you for the suggestions! I actually haven't been able to find that online for this program yet so that's a good point, thanks!

Thank you so much!! This is incredibly helpful

The DGS for a program I applied to emailed me earlier with some information and told me he'd be happy to chat if I wanted. I said yes, the conversation is tomorrow, and now I'm running out of questions to ask. Does anyone have any suggestions for something useful to ask during a conversation beyond things like funding? It doesn't seem so much like an interview as much as informal chat but that's making me even more stressed than I would otherwise be

I’m claiming one of the JHU acceptances from earlier! I got an email from the department with funding info included

I thought this person was just stressed and a bit impatient, but TWO YEARS? That's absurd for a program to make someone wait that long! What on earth
