I was excited when Strathclyde NA-ME dept invited me for PhD interview. Since am far (Pakistan) I requested for telephonic one, they said not possible!. I made arrangements to travel and told them am coming. Recent earthquake ripped my family apart and I simply could not go...I called the prof. requesting a weeks delay, explaining my situation. which was turned down saying ''we are sorry''.
I feel like a looser right now and think I should quit dreaming bout PhD.
No complains!, just sharing for others to be considerate...when able or in the capacity to do so!
