I have got my admission in Masters in Indiana ,MS in surgery
i had applied to 12 colleges,i got accepted in 3
but guess why i preferred indianapolis cos PEOPLE WERE VERY SWEET THERE.every time i called it was always Dear Dr ****
THEY TOOK ME OUT FOR LUNCH AFTER THE INTERVIEW WOW
they made me special,
iIam a MDS from India,i have been teaching thre for a couple of years
and believe me,its the students which make or break a college or univ
Losing documents and high handedness is BAD period.
i think we should write to the dept esp people who have got in ,and tell the univ what they have:" CALLING A SPADE A SPADE IS GOOD
I HAVE SEEN LIFE ,GOOD UNIV AND LOUSY ONES
when we come to usa ,we feel the univ are doing us a favour,
we are doing them a favour studying here.
paying the fees from buying applications and adding to the economy.
SO shout down loud if someone does not do there job well
Last year we were sent e mails informing out status. They don't give out application status over phone coz of confidentiality issues.
This has been said a million times but bears repeating- think a million times before calling someone names. You are NOT as anonymous as you think you are.
Also typing in caps is considered SHOUTING.
I know I know it is frustrating to mail documents and have them lost, misplaced etc. BUT it happens at every school, to every candidate (yes me too). At the end of the day what are you committed to? Believe me when you see the sweet words of acceptance, none of this will matter.
