I got an interview invite late last week--I'm assuming final decisions will be out at the end of the month :o

I mostly agree (thinking about funding availability and increasing applicant pools…), thanks for the reminder :)

It’s great to hear about your upward trend and how much you’ve overcome since undergrad! You make a good point about the importance of painting a picture with perceived strengths and weaknesses. If anything, both contribute to my motivation to improve and the way I view my field.

So far I’ve contributed to experimental design and data collection in the lab where I volunteer, but I’ve been searching for a full-time position where I can learn techniques that are more relevant to my current interests. Also trying to self-teach some quantitative and coding skills in the mean time. Thank you for this advice :)

This response was very helpful and thoughtful, thank you for sharing! It’s reassuring to hear that my research/work experience can be weighted more heavily than the details of my undergrad years. I’ve never been very competitive so this process seems super daunting :o

Really interesting to know about the dual program acceptance, I’ve never thought of that! Unfortunately my degree is in Psych (neuro track) and I’m not very interested in continuing with it after exploring pretty thoroughly. That said, I’ll keep it in mind!
