It’s tough because it’s usually based on years of service. So if it takes you to the next ban it will be tough.

However, if they come back with that then just ask for temporary relief meaning once raises are reinstated you will go back to your original time off.

I think I read about some kind of process where when an applicant reaches out to a current student or alum for a 1:1 and makes a good impression, the student/alum can send a message to the adcom letting them know? Is it like a "Hey I connected with this applicant and had a great conversation with them. I think they would be a great fit for the program" type of thing?

So… do you think this is real? I plan to forward it to a partner, but should I first send to IT to see if it’s even real? Just seems weird to me.
