Notes
International students, I'd advise you to steer clear of this programme unless you happen to be from one specific country; if you haven't already, check their student profile page to see which one. It’s blindingly obvious they don't admit anyone else. The whole thing is a complete joke. My research interests aligned very closely with several professors there, all of whom were raving about my profile when I reached out. I have a consistent record of publishing as first author (with at most one co-author) in the field's leading journals. Fortunately, I’ve already secured offers from two Ivy League schools and other top-tier institutions. However, what this department is doing simply isn't right, and a thorough investigation is long overdue. My Profile: Bachelor’s GPA: 3.96, Master’s GPA: 4.00, Publications: 5 research articles, Conference Presentations: 2 AEJMC and 2 NCA.
