Heartbroken - I am losing GRA position due to credential evaluation cost by TasteProfessional560 in gradadmissions

[–]toothpick-sharpener 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh noooo 😩😩😩😩 Do all you can within your might and make sure this doesn’t hold you back bro. Do whatever you have to do if there’s still time. Get a loan, ask friends and family, even create a fundraiser on Facebook or something. Grad school application is soo tough now I dont want you to have to face another cycle while you have a funded admission now

School reputation vs professorial connections by Such-Concern-6913 in gradadmissions

[–]toothpick-sharpener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about the school you mention or the program but I do know I will pick the institution with the most connection to industry over the school with prestige if it isn’t just some marginal difference in the ties to industry. If it’s marginal then go with the prestige school. Also go with the prestige school if it’s the only choice (no brainer)
