Today I got an email saying that I have been invited you to attend a one-day orientation session at UVA on Friday, March 3, 2006. This will especially allow faculty to consider me for financial support based on research opportunities in their respective labs.
I have a few questions, does anyone have an idea what kind orientation would it be? Will there be a one-to-one interview or a general informal talk? What kind of preparation does it need from my end?
My senario is little different from rest of you because though I'm an international applicant, I live in Charlottesville (UVA campus) and have already met with most of the professors in my area of interest here.
Any help is appreciative.
Thanks.
