aoi Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hi, because of my personal circumstance, I only applied to one school. Everything was going well in the beginning, but I messed up a relationship with a potential advisor in the end. As a result? Well, I did not get in to the school. Some of my professors, who recommended me were well-known in the field and I really do not know how to report the incidence. I think a part of reasons why they recommended me was because they saw a good chance in me getting accepted. Could you please provide me some insight? Thanks.

MoJingly Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 So, you are asking whether or not to tell the result to the professors that recommended you? I think you definitely should. They took the time to write on you behalf, and I know professors like knowing what becomes of their students. Depending on your relationship with them, you might also want to tell them the reasons behind why (you think) you were rejected. Maybe they have some good advice or insight that will make you think differently about the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newms Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Definitely tell them about your decision and ask them for their suggestions on what you could do to improve your chances (if you want to apply again in the future). It's important to maintain a relationship with your professors, because in academia you never know when you'll need another recommendation from them. aoi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
