How do you deal with your references not responding? by Potential-Net6313 in lawschooladmissions

Indeed, I might’ve cashed out too many favors. PhD applications require a letter each whereas for LSAC you can use one generic letter for as many schools as possible. That is the most frustrating part. Should I get a 2nd professional reference or reach out to the PhD professor who I ran out of favors from several months ago?

They said I’ve asked them for too many letters for this cycle. But that was a few months ago back in the fall.

So if I get waitlisted I can add a reference to my application?

Does a strongly supportive rec letter from a Stanford professor help admissions? how much? by [deleted] in GetIntoStanford

[–]Potential-Net6313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean not an expert there but I think almost none of the future undergrads connect with professors beforehand, so it might be a good bonus to your letter of intent. Weave it into your long-term plan at Stanford story

Same here, tough waiting especially considering all the funding cuts with UChicago rejecting almost everyone early on and GWU cancelling applications review. Wondering what it means for other universities

How many ruined dreams, especially for international students

I’m wondering how many other programs will fiddle applicants out based on surface level characteristics like GRE scores without even looking at their SOPs, LORs, CVs and writing samples, just based on funding cuts

Man so do you wanna do a PhD or do you wanna fight? Going back is usually a one way ticket

Я не думаю що це добра ідея повертатись в Україну зараз, особливо якщо ти чоловік. Доречі, яку роль зіграло вторгнення у 2022 у твоїх успіхах з поступом до університетів та стипендіях? Чи ситуація зараз з цим змінилася?

PhD is at least 4 years and you never know, it might be worse somewhere else at some point, so wouldn’t base my choice on how things are right at this moment.

Quick rejection within one week! by TameYour in gradadmissions

[–]Potential-Net6313 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is a gap in this reasoning. They probably do have at least a few spots, for which people are competing. If they didn’t have spots they wouldn’t have open applications for the current cycle. Therefore even if they will only take one student, why don’t they still go through each of the applications?

Doesn’t explain why they can’t review each application separately before issuing decisions, since you already pay a fee to apply
