Elrath Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I was browsing /r/gradadmissions as I've got a handful of interviews for rolling my MS over into a PhD lined up in the next few months and someone asked about something I had never considered before. https://www.reddit.com/r/gradadmissions/comments/40rp4p/interview_times_are_upon_us_those_who_have_gone/ I really hope this Gerstner Sloan-Kettering story is the exception.

AtomDance Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I came across this article on assessing the culture of a potential research group that you might find useful. https://tenureshewrote.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/prospective-students-and-lab-culture/ In particular, I think that asking current members whether they're happy in the group/program/etc. or not can be really revealing. I ended up not applying to one program after I asked this of a recent graduate who had to take a deep breath before replying with an unenthusiastic, "yeah...it's a really great program".

GradSchoolTruther Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I'd have to get more than one sigh before questioning a program. Edited January 14, 2016 by GradSchoolTruther AtomDance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
