Re: (GRE Success! ) Select a Univ. from admits

Hello Akshay,

That is good to know. Send in the links by all means.

Search online for grant proposals/funding news with the names of the
Professors who chair the labs. If the students working in these labs have
aid, and no issues with aid continuity, that is also a good sign - and this
is something you can directly ask the students.

Sincerely,

Srihari
