speaker: Any questions?

q: Hi! I'm so grateful to be here and have this opportunity. It's really just so exciting that I'm even here and I am so looking forward to my interview. Also, thank you so much for hosting this session. It's really been so informative and I thought it was really interesting how you said that thing. Thanks so much to everyone here. My question for you is: [question that was already covered in the session]

why are we starting our questions with paragraphs besties!!!?? and if you are just asking to get your face on the zoom screen at least have a good question!!!

I stg I was in a session and EVERY SINGLE PERSON STARTED THEIR QUESTION WITH AT LEAST 1-2 SENTENCES ABOUT HOW GRATEFUL THEY ARE FOR THIS INFO SESH AND OPPORTUNITY and at least half of them were like. already covered or like so specific to one person or one thing. and it was like so many questions. Like im not even joking actually 100% of people did this

the poor adcoms look so dead inside they hear the same stuff for hours on end for days on end they KNOW you are grateful but they also know you weren't paying attention or can't get to the point

K.I.S.S - keep it simple, stupid
