I just wanted to say I've been following grad cafe for a while and the comments have been so useful to me throughout my applications. Thank you all so much!
I am in a very unique spot with my top program. I am currently enrolled in as a master's student and will be completing my master's degree next semester. I've applied to my school's pharm sci PhD program and had a Skype interview with a few professors I would like to conduct research with last Monday. One of the courses I am tentatively enrolling in is for a course taught by one of the professors I interviewed with. However, I do not need the course to graduate and the addition of the course would require me to pay about $2500 out of pocket. I did not realize the cost until I looked at my tuition bill this morning. What do you suggest I do?
- Email my professor explaining the situation and hope that it won't affect a potential acceptance?
- Stuck it up and pay the $2500 (which is a huge financial cost to me)
- Drop the course and don't mention it to him hoping he did not notice I was enrolled?
This is my first time posting, I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
