Piagetsky Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 The prof I'm interested in at Carleton (Dr. Maggi) is out on leave and won't return until after the deadline has passed. Anyone know if she's taking students this year? If you were me, would you apply and gamble the $100, or just skip it? There aren't any other profs at Carleton doing work I'm even remotely interested in.

She'd probably have a good idea if Dr. Maggi is taking students or not. Piagetsky 1
8BitJourney Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 The best thing would be to email the department as they normally have some say in whether faculty can take a new student that year.

I tried that -- they don't have that info Said I have to contact the prof directly.

lewin Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Did you email the prof? Most people check email even on leave.

Auto reply that says "I will not be checking mail so email me when I get back at the end of January..." or something to that effect.

Also I personally find that policy bizarre unless it's a parental or health leave. Geez, you still check your email!
