Many university faculty have blanket rules against meeting with prospective doctoral students. I personally met with both my masters and PhD advisors before I was admitted to their programs, so I will always consider meeting with prospective PhD students if time permits. If you are familiar with my work and you think you really are very likely to work with me, please get in touch with me. | |||
Of course, there are hundreds of students interested in pursuing their PhD at UW Communication every year, so it is simply not possible for the faculty to meet with every interested student. That said, I'm happy to meet with prospective students whose interests and background match what I'm looking for. | |||
This means that either of following things should be true: | |||
:* You are interested in graduate school because you want to study [[:wikipedia:peer production|peer production]], knowledge commons, and the production of online public goods like [[:wikipedia:free culture|free culture]] and [[:wikipedia:free software|free software]]. | |||
:* You are interested in graduate school because you want to do quantitative data science on online communities and plan to use programming, statistics, and mathematics as the core of your research program. | |||
If the above does not apply, ''this doesn't mean I don't want to work with you''. It just means I'm extremely unlikely to be able to impact your application to the department. If one of my colleagues at UW has referred you to talk to me, that's also good enough because it means that that they might ask for my opinion when the admissions committee makes final decisions later. | |||
