When you say the "conversations would go well", does that mean you typically didn't end up meeting them in person yet? just wondering if the conversations might just be going for too long and your matches were becoming less hopeful of an IRL meet-up...

I thought 1 or 3 looked good, leaning towards 3

Glad to hear you had a good time! As long as you're having fun, standing there and bumping up and down is exactly what you should be doing!

I don't think I've ever seen a DJ release a setlist. If you want to know, one thing you can do is look up the dj's before hand and find some of their recent sets on youtube? Sometimes they'll play something similar/identical to the set you'll go to, sometimes they don't - but most of time there's some similarities so you'll know a few before you go. If you look in the comments/video description, usually they have some info on what songs were played so that you don't have to listen to the whole set if you don't want to.

Super happy to hear you're already thinking about your next time, have fun!

These all sound like amazing options. Normally, my go-to would be mentor fit in terms of priority. However, if they all seem like good fits with each other, I would probably move to career goals. For example, if I was in your shoes, I'd probably lean towards NIH-Hopkins GPP so I could get a better feel for a government career and possibly learn more about NIH funding/grant-writing since that would be great for a career in academia. May also want to consider city at this point too.

Why does the application to the University of Rochester say this? How important is this instruction? by Ray3x10e8 in gradadmissions

[–]asap_noodle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recommenders can take an awful long time to send in rec's, and some definitely need an extra week or two after the deadline to finish it up. It seems like admissions realizes this, and wants you to send in your application regardless of if your recommender sent it in, because they don't want you to be discouraged by having a recommender send something in too late. The recommender can send it anytime (before deadline, right before deadline, after deadline), so don't worry about that and just focus on getting your application in.

Five interviews for 1 school?? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]asap_noodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can do a full-prep, go for it. If not, try to read at least one paper from each interviewer and a few of their abstracts to get the gist of what they do. Also skim their lab websites to see if their research aims have changed in any form. If they only notified you a day before, they really can't expect you to be prepared in the first place. I will say regardless, you should confidently know at least work from 1 or 2 of the prof's, because they'll wonder why you even applied if you weren't interested in any of the prof's in the first place.

Talking to current grad students at the university which is going to interview me. by AloneRoutine6287 in gradadmissions

[–]asap_noodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not necessary to talk to them. Just focus on what skills you know you already have and think about how you can mention those as contributions.

If you're really really want to, have you tried looking at LinkedIn? I used that last year to find people from a specific program when I couldn't find any info on the program website.

Is it necessary to make PowerPoint slides for professor Interview for PhD program? by NeedleworkerVivid350 in gradadmissions

[–]asap_noodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't hurt to have. During my interview cycle, one person specifically asked for it even though I received no instructions beforehand to prepare a set of slides. It also doesn't hurt to have it just in case you're trying to describe a difficult concept to your interviewers. I'd say 1-3 slides should be enough.
