【Notes】
If your first-choice faculty member is unable to accept you, you may proceed with a pre-consultation with your second-choice faculty advisor. However, this must be done within the pre-consultation period. Therefore, we strongly recommend conducting the pre-consultation with your first-choice faculty advisor as early as possible. You may conduct pre-consultations with up to two faculty members, but not simultaneously. Please note that if the pre-consultation period ends, you may not be able to proceed with pre-consultations for your second choice faculty advisors.
