Will you give an example of what you've said to professors?
I was always super specific. Such as, "hello Dr. Abc, My name is Isawstars and I am interested in your Journalism program. My career goals are to XYZ and ZYX. Do you think your curriculum is a good fit? I am interested in courses such as XYZ, how have former students utilized this after graduating?" Something like that... I can't really remember, because I had specific questions about the program since all Mass Communication programs are not the same..
Without knowing what you said in your emails, all I can say is to sound sincere. Share why you are interested in their program and how you want to use that degree. Ask if they think you'd be a good fit. I actually had one program director say that with my career goals, their program is not the best fit for me... which helped A LOT when determining which schools to apply for. So if I never asked, and still applied... I would have instantly been rejected after they read my Statement of Purpose because it wasn't a good fit. But I wouldn't have known that.
There was one professor who never responded to me... but I think it's because I pretended to be interested in her work (I honestly wasn't, suprise-surprise)... So I bet I came off as a "suck up." Which you want to avoid.
That's EXACTLY what I wrote to professors. I even called most of them and left messages on their voicemail, stating that I would like to hear from them via phone/email. What should I do now? I don't want to flood their inbox with my emails and then I become totally ignored or spammed.

How do you establish connection with a professor you never met??!! Sending emails and letters will suffice? I've been trying that for loads of professors and NONE of them reply or even acknowledge my questions. And how would you captivate a professor's interest in the first place without being cliche?
This is very vague advice coming from across the board.

I guess I'm in a similar situation. I completed Cal 1 in HS via AP Cal. Cal 2 in college was horrible, I got a D and then a C+ in Cal 3. I'm confident about my abilities now because in Cal 2, I had no resources to complete the course; calculator, textbook, tutoring schedule. Should I take Advanced Calculus 1 and hope to get a B+ to override the previous grades?

A B- isn't that bad, but does make a mark. If you take Advanced Calculus I and get a B or better, I'm pretty sure it can even it out to say the least.

This thread makes me teary eyed, I sincerely need to get into Edinburgh next year!

I've been taking a look at this thread for quite awhile now... didn't want to post anything in case I didn't get in. I found out today that I was offered an unconditional acceptance into the MPP (Masters of Public Policy) program through the Academy of Government at Edinburgh University! I'm incredibly thrilled!
Congrats Sweetpea! What was the unconditional reason? What does that mean? Sorry to be poking you about it.

^That's actually a very well thought out email from MTI. What's VERY ambiguous and discouraging is that some users here say if I had a bad undergraduate degree (due to extenuating circumstances like depression and extreme domestic issues) that I should give a brief explanation about it. While other users say, you shouldn't say anything about it at all, and just focus on the positive (which is very little, mind you).
And why did they ask you to be an unmatriculated student? I'll reply ever more often here.

When I didn't hear from a school by March, I called them and made sure I reached the graduate secretary or admissions advisor! Have you guys made calls and yet no response ?

I agree with ANDS!, I have SimpleMobile, 40$ a month unlimited data(3G/2G), talk, and text - also international text! If you dont mind buying phone cards for 2 bucks and calling Canada. Check to see international rates for SimpleMobile /Verizon/Metropcs

Wow, I got a D in Cal 2. And C+ in Cal 3, even though the material was very easy, the instructor was a Ph.D student and was EXTREMELY stylized in her grading rationale and tests. The nutshell here is, if one excels in advanced classes, the basic or lesser ones will be overlooked?

This is a dream school of mine. The university's international events to meet students were in NYC last year but I missed my chance to meet them. Do I have to get friendly with certain people and accommodate myself with them? I am interested in the MSc in Applied Math.

Does the same apply for MA/MS in Mathematics?

Retaking Classes

Hi all,
As the semester closes, I might get a C+ to B in my Linear Algebra class (depending if I get at least an 80 on my final exam). I want to know the repercussions of this on my transcript and graduate ad comms. Is it so bad to retake a course if you received a B-?
