Ok.. as some of you may remember I got rejected for a PhD position a few weeks ago. Well, since then I got offered another one. Anyway, just now the School postgrad student co-ordinator has just e-mailed me to ask for a THIRD academc reference. I already have two on my form - my programme manager and 3rd year project supervisor. I just can't think of anyone else to put on it :-(
I might e-mail my programme manager, see if he has any bright ideas...
I'm panicking...

They did contact me

They want me to come into the lab for a day or two sometime after my exams, so we'll see

Right now I don't actually..saying that, one of the people who interviewed me says there is another position, so I'm waiting to hear about that.

...as in the PhD that I had an interview for the other day :-(

Was told however that I performed very well in the interview, have an excellent academic record, and that he'd have been happy to appoint me to the post.

Just my luck that the other applicant had a year's experience working in a neurodegeneration lab (the PhD is in Alzheimer's disease research..) :-(

I meant extensions to deadlines, doh

Lecturers in my department are no longer allowed to give deadlines...

I have mine tomorrow Trying to think of some question I could ask but I'm always rubbish at asking questions!

Thanks for the info too - I have an interview soon and nothing to wear!!

Thanks for the replies, I'll try my best I'll let you know how it goes (if I remember!!)

I get those generally, and I'm not even a PhD student

Hiya everyone,
I've just found out that I have an interview for a PhD in 2 weeks tomorrow. I'm a bit scared - the only interview I've ever had in my life so far was to get into uni for my undergrad degree....
Afte reading around the net I have a rough idea what to expect - questions why I want to do the project/a PhD, my 3rd year project, reading their papers would be a good idea..
Anyway, I really really want to do this - anyone got any tips or anything that might help me in the interview?

Thanks guys :)
