Interview number three

I have an interview at Georgia Tech also! The number 2 BME grad school... yipee! The only thing is that the interview weekend is March 9-11, and I come home from Ecuador on March 8 in the late afternoon/early evening, so that's going to be a lot of flying for me in a short span of time. No complaints though! :o)

GA Tech is flying me down to Atlanta, putting me up in a hotel, paying for all my food, and even having current grad students meet me at the airport. Pretty sweet accommodations! It's unfortunate that I have to miss several classes, but hopefully my professors will be understanding.

More to come later!

Interview results!

Like I said in my last post, on Friday I heard from a professor at Duke who wanted to talk, and he then provided me with times on both Saturday and Sunday that he was available to talk with me.

So I had my phone interview earlier today where we talked about his work (which is really fascinating!) and my interests, and he told me he's only working to recruit two students. And he only wants two students to add to his lab. It looks like I have a place at Duke if I choose to go there :-D

Here's a link to Dr. Reichert's work, in case any of you want to know what I might be researching this fall:

Yipee! I have somewhat of a plan for next year!

Point proven

I was offered an interview at NCSU/UNC on Wednesday and I was invited to visit a particular professor at Duke on Friday. I'd say that definitely all a girl needs to get an interview is another interview.

Just waiting to hear from some out-of-state schools now...

Grad school interviews!

I heard from my first school today- I've got an interview with NCSU/UNC in two weeks :o)

Hopefully I'll hear from some of my other schools soon. I've heard the saying that the only thing a girl needs to get a date is another date, so maybe the same principle holds for grad schools. The only thing I need to get an interview is another interview...
