I just received the call. Not admitted to regular term but invited to join for the J-term. Quite unexpected!!!
I will take the weekend to thinkg about this.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks!
I am applying for the J-Term myself.
My understanding is that if you don't plan to change careers, the J-Term makes more sense than the regular term - the extra year you'd spend studying if you entered in August presents a substantial opportunity cost. However, if you do intend to change areas, then you probably need an internship in your new field to make this transition.
Since I plan to stay in the same field, it was an easy decision for me.
