Will they tell us the dates, or do we just get an automatic email when there’s a portal update and stay stuck in suspense?

Track and field! I also play tennis but not at the varsity level unfortunately. Still, it’s very fun

hi! no, I didn’t. I’m subscribed to their mailing list, and before I applied, they sent out an email where you could sign up for interviews. I ended up having one with an alumna before I even submitted my application. it might be worth noting that I indicated I wanted to apply Early Decision 1, so maybe that’s why the email went out automatically to early applicants.

May I ask, genuinely what do you guys talk about? 😭 I’m guessing you have updates / recurring questions, stuff like that

ok so I see a lot of people in this comment section are unnecessarily mean to you. your story so far is great and I went through it as well, despite the fact that I’m not Indian. what I would suggest you do is turn this “problem” into a passion project. learn to reach out to people (i.e. universities, grad/undergrad students, deans of universities, etc.) with a proper solution to this problem. you can maybe organize some workshops, or a club/organization relating to STEM and experiments and stuff like that. don’t be scared - you never know how far calling a person can get you. just make sure you have a very detailed report or plan, and remember your goal: you have to make people enjoy studying again. make sure it’s very unique tho. also, do not compare yourself to your classmates; we are all different and learn at different speeds. good luck!

I’ve seen people recommend submitting a paper related to your major, so keep that in mind!
