In the end, I found these "random" meetings very helpful and interesting. |

| 4 | Aug 21, 2009 3:29 AM | Do it earlier so that international students can attend, too. Most international students have VISA restrictions, so that can't come to the USA earlier than a month before school starts. |
| 5 | Aug 25, 2009 6:01 AM | It would be a nice to have a concise summary of the average gradschool timeline along with the standard deviations for each checkpoint. |
| 6 | Aug 25, 2009 10:01 PM | Again, make it easier to get paid back for travel expenses. UC Berkeley was by far the most difficult in this regard. |
