Note

I can barely begin to express my disappointment with this program. I interviewed at my preferred lab (this involved 7 hours of scheduled meetings/interviews), and the PI told me to e-mail him with any additional questions in the next couple of weeks. A few days later, I e-mailed him with some supplementary materials and a couple of questions, and he NEVER responded, even after I sent another follow-up e-mail. This program has very little respect for its applicants and students; it seems to focus primarily on pumping out flashy inventions/toys, instead of teaching its students in a supportive research environment.
