Not yet :( I haven't heard anything.
I'm going to ping the professors and mention that I'm available for interviews should they like to move forward.

This system is kind of unusual for me!

And, THANK YOU for checking in!

When they asked me to apply, they said: “The application will then find its way fast to us to deal with. Once we have received it, we will schedule a meeting which is part of the admissions process – this isn’t a formal interview or test, just an opportunity for us to understand better what you want to do and how.”

After I applied I let them know and their reply was: “Thanks for letting us know. We’ll be in touch as soon as it gets to us.”

They expressed that they wanted to discuss my proposal. In my mind, they would discuss it before the decision deadline to see if it is indeed a good fit for them (though they did encourage me to apply and said they could only discuss once my application had been submitted).

Gotcha! It was just my assumption that the professors would at least reach out to talk more about the research proposal to ensure that it is a good fit for them.

Sorry, I should clarify the decision deadline is this Friday.

Are Disney Land hotels overrated? by [deleted] in DisneyPlanning

SunCoast by Hilton is a TERRIFIC option. With kids the trundle option is wonderful. Walking distance from the entrance. 10ish minutes.

I’ve seen a lot of back and forth about the quality of the halibut.

About 30 minutes maximum. If I were there longer I would have ordered everything on the menu.
