The AAMC has come out opposing the idea of waiving the MCAT (no surprise there) and we just blogged about their open letter defending that position.

After a slump that was most likely due to the novel coronavirus, law school applications are now up 0.3% from this time last year. We don’t believe this would have been possible without the online version of the LSAT.
Best of luck with your applications!

ModeratorI have 3.67 GPA at Rutgers in Materials Engineering and I plan on going to UConn for a masters in Mechanical Engineering since my job after graduation is more aerospace and mechanical engineering ( I am working for Pratt & Whitney) and I am more interested in the crossovers between MechE and MSE. However I have some W’s on my transcript. One was a Matlab course my freshmen year I took that I hated and dropped a week after the withdrawal deadline (wasn’t needed for my major). Another was during my junior year when I did a full time internship and this was an elective in industrial engineering for systems and reliability engineering. The course was in the evening but at a horrible time after work and I disliked it by the middle of the semester and I didn’t have an interest in the material anyway. I also withdrew from 2 major classes because of courseload problems one semester my senior year but I took them the next semester and got an A in both. I dropped a graduate level MSE class in thermo recently because the course subject matter was dry (I don’t like phase diagrams and chemical thermo too much) so I dropped it; I took the class originally to see if I would like MSE at the graduate level despite my career path moving towards mechanical engineering just to get a feel for things.
I anticipate doing well on the GRE and I can have many letters of recommendation.
Will these W’s hurt my chances of being accepted into the UConn engineering masters program?Hi and thanks for your inquiry.
I’m so sorry I didn’t reply to this earlier and I’m not sure how we overlooked it.
To summarize, I believe the W’s can be mitigated within a well-prepared application. We would likely do it in an addendum and keep it out of the personal statement. Feel free to call us to discuss this in more detail and arrange for a complimentary assessment.
Best of luck with your applications!

The Harvard Crimson reports that the university’s graduate student union will hold a strike authorization vote next week. However, the level of support seems unclear. The Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Automobile Workers will need two-thirds of the votes to be authorized to call a strike.

We just blogged about a proposed NLRB ruling that graduate students at private universities are not considered employees. We also explained how this broad-brush ruling differs from previous NLRB rulings and what it likely means for most private universities.
