Chicago, ILPosted May 2015 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The process I went through was pretty simple: I applied for the position, and then if the professor replied to my email, I’d meet with them.

The part that felt unpredictable was that many professors didn’t respond at all—whether it was because they didn’t check emails, didn’t want to read or reply, or just had other excuses, it created a lot of uncertainty on my end.

When I did get a reply and ended up meeting, the overall feel stayed light. The conversations weren’t described as technical marathons; it was more about whether there was alignment between my interests and their work. In my experience, the main barrier wasn’t the meeting itself, it was getting to the point where the meeting happened.
