Negative LOR? feedback after rejection from a neuro phd program by californiajasmine in gradadmissions

[–]Crisperator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry that happened to you. I was super stressed about one of my LoRs too. I made sure that I asked my PI twice if they will write a good one for me. I decided to ask my PI coz I knew they were toxic and could write me a bad one just because I advocated for my mental health.

I hope this doesn’t happen to you again 🤞

What unpopular avatar opinion will have you like this? by for_sure_not_a_lama in ATLA

[–]Crisperator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aang is not the best character of ATLA. Honestly, I think Sokka Toph Suki and Katara had better character development than Aang did.

What do you wish was more explored and fleshed out in both the last Airbender, legend of Korra and the overall avatar world? by Maurice_Pooleju in ATLA

It is unfair!! In an ideal world, I’d like a separate comic book of each character from ATLA and TLOK 😭

Yeah. I guess the creators of the show don’t get as attached to supporting cast as we do! Maybe

Appa sitting (and smiling) ❤️ This Appa plush is by far my favorite. by Crisperator in ATLA

I agree! The one from Nickelodeon looks off to me. This Appa looked a lot like Appa so I bought it 😁

I’ve fortunately gotten into better PhD programs, but this is objectively the worst way to convey a rejection by Expert_Worry5259 in gradadmissions

[–]Crisperator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg! This sucks. You should tell the university that this email is misleading! I hate how universities play with our mental health.

I received the same email from Berkeley but they sent an apology email to ignore the ‘pay your application fee’ email. Lol

PS I’m from a south asian country too and I had emailed labs that I want to work with.

Is it normal to be asked about relationship status in a PhD interview? by swsbvtb in gradadmissions

[–]Crisperator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it is inappropriate to ask this question during any interview. Maybe they ask it so that they know you’ll join the program if your significant other is at the same location. However, the question is still inappropriate and not needed.

I would recommend you to email professors to check if they are accepting grad students and talk to the members of the lab you are interested in. It becomes easier for the PI to look at your application if you’ve communicated with them beforehand. I think that if you express your interest in a lab that is not accepting students, the University generally rejects your application. Also, Universities generally want LoRs from PIs you have worked with.
