  1. Try contacting both of them? Doesn't hurt to ask.
  2. Yes, I'm visiting Rice in two weeks. Don't lose hope! I'm sure more schools will be moving this month.
  3. Rice sent out campus visit invitations already... I'm also waiting for USC.
  4. Based on recent placements, I would move UNC up and NYU down.
  5. Can you just search "Penn State" on the score report web page and see what pops out?
  6. Just curious, for people who have both a master's and a bachelor's degree (in the same field), do schools still value undergraduate grades more?
  7. That's very useful information! Thanks! I have a question about conference funding: do schools generally provide funding for 1st or 2nd year students to attend conferences, or is such funding only available for students in their 3rd year or later?
  8. My school does hire several research associates, but these people would typically already have a master's/Ph.D. in math or stats. They are more like data scientists that help faculty process data, scrape websites, etc., since we don't have Ph.D students here to do all the "dirty"work lol. For someone who isn't trained as a data scientist, my guess is that it might be tricky to find a research associate job, since the schools would probably prefer people who already have a lot of experience working with data. One thing you could look into, though, is the pre-doc programs (I think Stanford and Columbia both have one), but I'm not totally sure whether non-citizens are eligible for these programs. Good luck!!!
  9. I love your choice of word haha! Probably similar to you, I have spoken with almost everyone in my department, so basically every professor knows what I'm up to. I have also indicated to a couple of people that I would like to work with them. They all agreed to loop me in if work comes up, but I have not heard from them yet. I'll start following up with (aka harassing) them next week. Thank you!
  10. Thanks! There are couple of people whose work I really like, and it would be a dream-come-true if I can work with them on their researches. I guess I'm only hesitating because they are the researchers that I really love and respect, but eventually I do need to reach out.
  11. Hi everyone! I'm an aspiring Ph.D. applicant and this is my first time posting here. I wanted to ask you guys about your experiences approaching professors for an RA position. I've seen a lot of tips about how to ask for an RA job, but almost all of them are for science/engineering majors where professors regularly recruit students for their labs. I was just wondering what would be the best way to ask a business school professor whether he/she needs an RA. Any advice can help! Thank you guys so much!
  12. Hi! Not sure what the percentage is, but I know a couple of people who travel to the U.S. on visitor visa for campus visits, so I guess visa status shouldn't be a problem even if you currently reside outside of the U.S.?
