When applying to grad school should you send your personal statement to the professor you want to work with?

Thursday, December 29th, 2011
Black-Oleander asked:


Hello, I am applying to grad school and I had a fellow student tell me that I should send my personal statement to the professor I want to work with for feedback. I am not sure if this is a good idea. I have already met the professor and established good communication, but I don’t know if sending my personal statement is a good idea.

What are the California residency requirements for grad school?

Saturday, December 24th, 2011
Angelica Schreyer asked:


I want to apply to UCSD for grad school in a few years and I’m wondering what the residency requirements are. Specifically: if I get an apartment off campus and live there continually for the first year (paying taxes to the state of California, I assume) do I count as having state residency for the other years of grad school?

Is going to grad school at an Ivy League college really all that great?

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011
mr cLIF is back asked:


Which is more prestigious or more admirable: Going to grad school at a college like Harvard or going to Harvard for undergrad?

By that I mean which will offer you the “contacts” and the strong “network” that an Ivy League college is supposed to offer you?
Med school and Law School are considered grad schools in my book btw.

Can i get into a grad school with a low gpa?

Sunday, December 18th, 2011
sugababy143 asked:


I just finished my undergraduate college and I am very interested in getting my PhD in biology. The only problem is that I have a very low gpa, 2.6. I needed some tips or ideas about how I can still get into a school? I am scared that I will not be accepted anywhere. Do I still have a chance at grad school? Are there any schools in the U.S who accept students with low gpa’s? Is it easier to get into a masters program and then transfer into the PhD program from there? I need some advice, can someone help me? Im desperate as it is time to start applying to schools.
