is it okay to ask the person who wrote me recommendation letter to convey my interest in a program? the person knows PD. Thanks

  #2

That would be a "yes" answer - any "in" that someone has with a program director should be used.

dear bbb, i had a few iv. each time, there were about 10-20 interviewers. pd spent only few minutes for each interviewer. and they said similar things to each one. how does pd make decision? what is the sign that shows pd is interested in you?

a pd resonded to my thank you letter after iv. he said he will rank me competitively. what is my next step? i really like that program. thank you.

A PD is measuring your fit with his program. And if they said that they would rank you competetively, then you will be on their list. Your next step is to fit them on your rank list .

(It's not a hidden agenda, it's very easy....)

I don't know if there are really any signs that I can say would cover every program. Everything is so dependant on you and the interviewer. Which is why when I have a group of applicants, I try to get them to relax and be themselves.
