@p{Dear Prospective Graduate Student,
|
|
@br{}@br{}
|
|
Thank you for your interest in working with PLT. We get several
|
|
inquiries every year from students interested in working with one or
|
|
more of us. We're flattered and, of course, interested in your
|
|
applications. Because you are more interested in PLT than in our
|
|
specific institutions, we have created the following common
|
|
application form. By filling it in once, you can automatically apply
|
|
to all current PLT institutions.}
|
|
@p[style: (box-style 1 "#bbb")]{
|
|
Yes, we know you don't like Boston/Chicago/Providence/Provo/Salt Lake
|
|
City/San Luis Obispo/Worcester (circle those applicable). But we like
|
|
them, or we wouldn't be living there. Think about the message you're
|
|
sending by rejecting our choices. Moreover, we think very highly of
|
|
our colleagues@|mdash|more highly than we think of your judgment in
|
|
this matter@|mdash|so for your own good, we're going to forward your
|
|
application to them anyway.}
|
|
@p{How many years have you programmed in Scheme?}
|
|
@p{How many years have you programmed in PLT Scheme?}
|
|
@p{If the two numbers above are not identical, justify.}
|
|
@p{How many PLT Scheme Web applications have you written?}
|
|
@p{What problems did you find with the PLT Scheme Web server in the
|
|
process? Please list bug report numbers.}
|
|
@p{Which wheels did you inadvertently reinvent?}
|
|
@p{Do you prefer your calculi Classic or Featherweight?}
|
|
@p{Should types be intervals or ideals?}
|
|
@p{In your opinion, which Barendregt proof has the highest hours spent
|
|
understanding-to-symbols ratio?}
|
|
@p{Which is your favorite combinator?}
|
|
@p{Thank you for your interest. Don't be a cat squandering the popcorn.}

@p{Seriously, we @em{do} enjoy working with graduate students. If you
|
|
are inspired by the PLT project and want to drive the next generation of
|
|
innovation, you should strongly consider graduate study with us. We
|
|
look forward to hearing from you. All of us, no matter where we may
|
|
live.}
