- Notes
- I got rejected, which I expected. Honestly, I was hesitant to apply because the program doesn't offer me anything in terms of training or job placement. My advice to any international student is don't apply to this program. There are many reasons. First, it's based on discrimination. They don't want international students. They just offer one slot for the international students. The criteria are subjective and depend on other factors. Also, there are no great scholars at the program. And if you look at their graduate students, they are very weak and don't meet the standards for PhD students at top schools. This program only had Maxwell McCombs 40 ago. Nothing since then. Don’t waste your money in order to apply.
