In this episode, Jalen gives a few tips on hearing back from programs.
Recap of tips:
Tip #1: Get back in touch with professors at the beginning of the semester.
Tip #2: Even though it might not feel like it, you’re interviewing them, not the other way around.
Tip #3: Prepare questions: about the program, about your research interests, about the weather etc.
Tip #4: You know when a program is not for you. It’s a feeling.
Tip #5: Find someone (a professor, a mentor, a peer) you can talk to about the whole experience.
Tip #6: Just because you don’t go to the school, doesn’t mean you have to stop talking to the professor.
Tip #7: You don’t have to rush to make a decision.
Tip #8: Rejecting Programs is harder than you think.
Tip #9: Take advantage of visitation weekends.
