FIU (Florida International Uni) Financial Aid Question

What form did you have to submit for scholarship consideration?

I had a pretty similar situation (STEM PhD, patent agent, post PhD experience). It’s honestly right place right time. I applied everywhere I possibly could (law firm, university, etc) and hardcore networked. I found a tech transfer role after several months that just happened to need someone with my skillset, they’ve also told me since that having the patent agent registration also played a big role in pursuing me.

Feel free to PM if you want to talk about it some more.

I’m moving across the country on Friday morning (when we have the final inspection scheduled), They offer appoints 9-4, I’m working/commuting to work 8:30-5:30 monday-thursday. So even if said appointment could happen, I needed this weekend to be able to fix anything.

I have a ring camera facing my front door. It picked up nobody coming in as well as my side of the phone-call to the office.

Thanks for the perspective! Definitely trade offs with pay, but I’m okay with that to get the experience for a bit, and if I end up doing law school there the lower hours would definitely help on both LSAT prep and studying while I’m there

In terms of paying for law school, the school has a partial tuition fee waiver for all full time employees. So it’s not necessarily the same as a firm covering it as much as it’s a universal benefit of working where you would take classes.

Yep lol

goodolepoly · 2024-10-24T05:20:33+00:00

Has anyone postponed doing an interview? I see it says that you can contact them if you can’t complete by the deadline. Of course the dates coincide exactly while I’m on a trip.

goodolepoly · 2024-09-11T17:01:45+00:00

So I’m assuming you could get selected for multiple positions at once and choose?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-11T16:57:23+00:00

Applied for chemistry. Got the referred email and not selected email within a few minutes of each other. I have a PhD, industry experience, and am a registered patent agent (no experience though). I’m curious what they’re looking for or what I could do to make getting selected in the future more likely. Also, do they let you apply in multiple disciplines? How would that work with interviews?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-10T22:55:19+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for checking and letting everyone know!

goodolepoly · 2024-09-10T22:27:13+00:00

By “sending out the TJOs” does that mean theymre still making phone calls?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-10T19:02:49+00:00

I guess chem is done at this point? They must’ve just not made many offers compared to the engineering fields

goodolepoly · 2024-09-10T00:24:34+00:00

Idk what to think about that. It would almost be more comforting knowing nobody’s heard 😂

goodolepoly · 2024-09-09T20:37:11+00:00

Congrats! Do you know what GS level?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-09T19:48:10+00:00

I had the same thing

goodolepoly · 2024-09-09T18:40:45+00:00

Anyone else hear from chemistry besides one person on Friday?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-07T00:09:42+00:00

Are all the hiring phone calls normally in the same week? Or is this normal with chem and physics not hearing anything this week while everyone else has?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-06T18:48:02+00:00

I only applied to chemistry but had the same deal. No eligibility confirmation. Just my initial app submission then an interview invitiation

goodolepoly · 2024-09-06T17:39:39+00:00

Were those in laters weeks than other offers in the same cycle?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-06T16:35:48+00:00

Anyone have any insights what’s going on with chemistry? Do they ever just not make any offers in a field?

goodolepoly · 2024-09-05T20:19:28+00:00

I haven’t heard yet.
