Day 876 of 1000
Christian received the first response to his PhD applications yesterday from Arizona State University. They want to fly him out Tempe for “Recruiting Event” so he can talk to Electrical Engineering faculty and see the campus. They will put him up in a nice hotel and wine him and dine him a little. We are not sure whether he will go to ASU, but he will plan to go fly out to Tempe for this event if it does not conflict with another invitation–we hope he gets one or two more, but who knows? Here are a few tidbits from the letter.
Thank you for applying to the doctoral graduate program in electrical engineering in the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at ASU. The Graduate Admissions Committee is very impressed with your academic achievements and is very interested in you for admission to the PhD degree program…
We are hosting a Recruiting Event … on the Tempe campus for about 15 select PhD applicants and … would like to invite you to this event. You have been chosen from an applicant pool that is now at over 330 applicants.
At the event you will meet with faculty, students, and school administrators. Research opportunities and financial aid will be discussed while you are here. We have excellent financial aid packages for doctoral students. Campus and laboratory tours will be included.
I am going to try to coordinate my travels so I can pick him up at the airport when he arrives and drop him off at the Hotel. He is not old enough yet to rent a car, so he might have to figure out how to get back to the airport on his own.
