This is going to be a rough month of waiting, haha. I keep getting stupid emails from other departments or schools with deceiving subject titles. My heart aches every time I finished reading the title. Actually anytime I see a bold 1 or 2 in Gmail, I freak out. I can't stand it.
Archaeodan Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 What questions did y'all ask your interviewers? I'm pretty sure I'll be comfortable with whatever they can throw at me, but in the moment, I know I'll be too nervous to come up with good questions for them...

Meet once a week? Hands off?), and ease of interdisciplinary studies (e.g. taking additional stats classes, medical classes, whatever is relevant to you). Hope this helps, and good luck! I’m sure you will do well busybee and Archaeodan 2
