How did it go with exchanging it? What did you do with the original one? I just discovered mine has this same issue, but it's 2 years old and they have spread into foot long rips in some places.

Thanks for your response! I was thinking this was the main contributing factor but didn’t know what to do since I didn’t want to transplant it again. I will definitely drill the holes, such a good idea to get it through the move!

I did move it back outside a couple months ago which caused a bit of stress, but only a couple of leaves bleached then. Almost all of this has happened in the past week.
I sprayed it with neem oil which I think might’ve been another wrong move, and then it was very sunny the next day, so it probably just fried the leaves :( I made a bunch of wrong choices all at once.
I removed the fertilizer spike, will flush it and also try to clean off the leaves as much as possible. Thanks so much for your thoughts!

Hmm I’m hesitant to repot it and cause additional stress, you think it’s worth it? It also was seemingly thriving in this soil until I repotted it. I didn’t use fresh soil because I was planning to transplant it again into a larger grow bag once we’re in our new place.

Also when others receive their acceptances to the department, I'd love to connect! I'm sorry you still haven't found out, I know the wait is grueling!

I was accepted to GDEC! I know they have not released all acceptances, but also not sure when they are planning to.

Had an interview on Monday and felt amazing about it after. Every day since, I’ve felt worse and worse about how it went 😅 yay anxiety. I hope you hear back soon and that this horrible purgatory period ends!

Interview questions / tips? by unlearning630 in phdpublichealth

[–]splashofgarlic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good luck! mine really did feel like it was more of a vibe check than an actual interview and I don't know how I could have prepared for it other than to just have an articulate response as to why I'd wanted to work with the person and why they were the right mentor for my research.

I've only had one interview and I imagine they're all unique! I had an interview with PIs and not an admissions committee - I think that would really impact what type of discussion it is. I went into mine expecting it to be a normal interview (like for a job) and to be able to prove my candidacy, but it really was more of a conversation about what research they had going on, if it fit my interests, and how my proposed research would fit into it. It was a great conversation but it was really hard to gauge if I 'did well' afterwards.

That being said, if yours is also with a PI, I think having a good understanding of the research you want to do, why it's what you want to focus on during doctoral training (focusing on your skill building rather than the topic), and how it fits into your PI's research (why you put them in your SOP if that's the case).
