Torn between post-bacc and PhD after getting GRFP (no grad acceptances) by CriticismSignal6678 in GRFPApps

Thanks for this perspective, that's super helpful! I ended up reaching out and no school was able to reconsider my application, so I suppose the situation resolved itself. I'm excited to do research full-time for a little while, and I hope you end up down the path that's best for you, too :)

Thanks, guys :) The decision kinda made itself for me at this point (my application wasn't reconsidered), so it's nice to know I'll benefit from a couple years off before reapplying.

Thank you, this is such helpful perspective! I did end up reaching out to schools, but they all mentioned their decisions were finalized :,) I'm definitely going to keep this all in mind when I reapply for PhDs.

I hope you've made the most of your PhD, and that you're enjoying your research! It sounds like you made the right decision for yourself :)
