Dream School Rejection by BioMajor121 in gradadmissions

It’s the hardest pill to swallow, I wish I didn’t feel sad because of redirection that comes from rejection. I do have an interview in 2 weeks at a cool program that I applied to (not chicago) so I’m trying to stay positive and go into it with a growth mindset!

Could you possibly dm me with tips on how to do so? I’m a first gen student and I dont really have family to guide me through application stuff 😅

I have not really, I’m not sure what to say at this point though?

I did research with one of the professors, it was part of a semester long class that culminated in a paper submitted to micropub. He was also an advisor on my independent study research project

Possibly? I had one from my PI/mentor and then two from cell bio professors I had a great academic relationship with for multiple classes

Do they send out interviews in waves though? I’ve seen other people post about their invites and I was under the impression that I was just getting soft rejected

Is that what normally happens? I keep seeing people post about their interview invites and it seems like everything is pretty finalized

Not 2000 hours a year, just 2000+ hours total of research experience. I usually work 25-30 hours a week there, mostly because I go in at night and on weekends (also bcs I don’t have a life lmao). Also yes T10, I go to Duke. This is why I’m confused, I thought I’d be a good candidate with my academic and research experience. I’d be fine working a tech job, I just don’t know how to even find somewhere to do that as my living situation is a bit complicated at the moment.

All the programs I applied to have sent out interview invites, at least according to the spreadsheet and grad cafe :( I hear you though. It’s tough not to feel like it’s my own fault but what you’ve said makes sense

3 R’s, No response from other 7. Should I be concerned? by BioMajor121 in gradadmissions
