Hi all, Any UMich acceptances here? Did anybody hear anything about open house for admitted students at the Near Eastern Studies department? I know they had them in previous years. I was accepted to the PhD program but wasn't told anything about an open house. I'm an international student and therefore wasn't invited to recruitment weekend either, and did my interviews on skype. The real question is that I intend to visit campus before making a decision anyway, and was wondering if it were legit to ask them to pay for my hotel? After all, they have never invited me... Thank you for your thoughts!

Hi all, I had a skype interview last night with quite a few professors from a program I'm very interested in. Thing was, I was completely sick (still am) and could hardly speak, let alone think. And so I blacked out on a fairly trivial question that has to do with my research. This morning thanks to antibiotics everything looks clearer, and of course I know exactly what I should have said... So, how unprofessional would it be to send an apologetic email with a clarification of my answer, explaining my feeble state at the time etc... etc... Or did I just blow this one and can do nothing now but sink back to sickly self-pity? Did anyone ever try to do a post-interview clean up?
