PhDorBUST Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hey guys, if a program director asks to set up a time to speak briefly over the phone with you...what do you prepare for? Like....how does one prepare for a conversation that you have no idea what it is about??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a tough question, but I would just go look over the faculty member's CV that you want to work with again. You should know what they've been working on and have a grasp on it as well. Beyond that, I would just say maintain that fine line between confidence and humility. Additional tip: drink a cup of chamomile tea before hand. It will take a little of the anxiety out of the conversation. AspiringScholar17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so mixed up at this point I have no idea. To be fair I only have 3 to decide between (2 right now actually), but they all have strong points for me. I won't know until I visit everywhere!
