Great report, Jiachen! Wonderful to know you’re pursuing PhD studies in New Orleans, after all those interesting years in between beginning with your undergraduate years in China. One day, I hope we’ll be calling you Doctor Shi!. Sending you congratulations for what you’ve achieved so far, and all best wishes from The Wintry North for 2024 and beyond.
Thank you Derek!~ Getting a degree is just the beginning. My ultimate goal is to use what I learn to make the world a better place. I will never stop trying to do that.
I understand your anxiety. Sorry I may not have a perfect answer to this. I think graduate schools usually make offers to candidates on the waitlist when offer-receivers turn down their offers. I guess the most efficient way to find out is to directly contact the graduate school and ask them about your current status.
