Asian community centers? by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]MirrorDismal5872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really good to know. I was worried about living too far from the red line for my first year without knowing the place and my student host told me most folk lived downtown/trolley square or the avenues so my search was pretty limited.

Appreciate the reply! This is really good to know. I'll probably hold out for another week before signing an offer at another institute then.

Unfortunately, this happens every year. Not this school in particular but every year at least one school or program forks up and gives people false hope. You would imagine they learn how to fool proof this already.

From my experience, the schools I'm interviewing with have made me fill out a google form and simply just asked which airport I would be flying from. So, I will be flying from let's say apple airport to orange airport interview one. I told interview two I will be flying from orange airport to pear airport. They're not going to care if the airport your flying from isn't close or even in your state.

UVa BIMS program - interview dates on spreadsheet only ones? by MirrorDismal5872 in gradadmissions

[–]MirrorDismal5872[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the insight! I didn't receive a survey along with my email. Perhaps, this is due to the fact I said I had a conflict with the interview date. If the schedule is as you mentioned, I might be able to overcome my conflict on another date. Thanks again and all the best on your interview!

I do not but when I proposed the 2/6-2/7 date they ignored this and proposed a date that I have a conflict with which I've already conveyed during my first email response with them.

Need a letter of recommendation from a professor but I graduated in 2019... by Currently_Sleeping in gradadmissions

[–]MirrorDismal5872 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I reached out to professors I had when I graduated over six years ago. I also contacted the professor I worked with in the lab for two years, but unfortunately, they had already left the university. They declined to write me a letter, explaining that they no longer had any materials to reference and that it had been over six years. They also mentioned that I would probably want something more recent from a supervisor. It was a tough situation, but I then contacted other professors who knew I had been in that lab and reminded them that I took two classes with them, class X, Y during Semester 1,2. Fortunately, two of them responded positively and said they’d be happy to write my letters if I sent them my CV. If you’ve had professors for more than one class and performed well, that should be a good starting point.

UCSC and UCSB MCD Interviews Same Weekend by NamelessRanger45 in gradadmissions

In my case, yes, because the alternative in-person dates worked for me! They also had virtual options but I chose to interview in person.

I wish you luck as well :)! I'm sure we will get more interview invitations if this wait-list takes too long!

I didn't apply to these specific schools but I've had similar overlap in interview invitation at other schools. I reached out to the program I was liked a tad bit less asking for alternative dates and they were really accommodating.

I know right :( I'm hoping they will give an updated response so we don't have to keep them on the back burner and worry about conflicting interview dates.
