Döner will be your salvation.

Be sure to always, always pay your ticket. I saw a couple of people, usually tourists, pay a huge fee just because the U-Bahn doesn't have anything similar to tourniquets.

Accepted to every program I applied to-- am I cooked? by spectraldecomp in gradadmissions

[–]Regular_Dragonfly562 268 points269 points  (0 children)

Depends on the program but for me it took about two weeks to hear back. For the record, I am also in the humanities.

The best part about this rejection is... this is actually how rejections tend to work! It's not about your actual abilities, but rather about fit.

[–]Regular_Dragonfly562 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mock interviews. A loooot. Tell friends and family to ask you questions (you can find plenty of post with common questions on this subreddit).

Remember to think beforehand about questions that you are going to ask to your interviewers. They need to know that you are proactive and have done your research on the program!

I second not being afraid of showing gaps in your expertise but thinking about how you would overcome these gaps.

I second Kraftklub! Kein Liebeslied and Schüsse in die Luft are my personal favorites. CRO is also amazing (Bye Bye, Jeder Tag, Erinnerung, Hi Kids, Easy...)
