<p>Hello Guys,</p>
<p>I have finished MS and planning to go for PhD in Electrical Engineering, Communication. </p>
<p>I am going to see graduate advisor of a Phd school where I am planing to apply; to discuss chances to get in that particular grad school. </p>
<p>Kindly, advise me how should I approach the advisor, which Doc. should I carry with me?</p>
<p>Talk shop. Evade “So what are my chances of getting in?” questions/discussions and don’t talk about funding unless the GA brings either topic up.</p>
<p>Focus on talking about your research interests and experiences, their labs/program… the focus of the conversation should be about finding a good fit for both of you. And be yourself!</p>
<p>Don’t carry anything with you- if they ask for your CV, offer to e-mail afterward.</p>
