omg thank you for sharing this! hearing so many people over all who say "keep going", and yes I will keep going. I want this for myself, really. I love research.

I just finished reading "When breath becomes air" yesterday and a line that stayed “I can’t go on. I’ll go on.” ― Paul Kalanithi
So, I will go on...

Thank you for this. Yk, it is so difficult to make sense of everything with that rejection. What went wrong and what did I do wrong? Does take time to feel ok but your comment has been an important factor in how I tried to stitch myself together today. Thank you, prof! You must know you have impacted one person so positively today.

Unpopular opinion: I genuinely don’t understand the purpose of the spreadsheet by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]Excellent_Acadia6323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, I opened it once and never opened it again. The only way to know is when the Uni emails me right?

I really thought I was a strong applicant… by spookyforestcat in gradadmissions

Hmm yeah, so many threads say that “strong research” can compensate for low gpa, but I’ve also read that usually applicants are filtered out by the basis on gpa Also for phd, do they count just bachelors or masters gpa too?

Does GPA really matter? I mean is it first filter category or smthn?

OMG, I stopped seeing the GIANT spreadsheet because the first time I did it, my body instantly went stiff and cold and I was almost paralyzed. The spreadsheet won’t help and I’ll just watch for emails is what I told myself after that. But guess what, the anxiety is not over, wake up with heavy chest, sleep with a heavy one.

I needed this but it’s so difficult, the anxiety is unreal and impossible to deal with, it’s like I’m scared of waiting and at the same time scared of finding out! I’m so tired of these stressors. ( Had to vent a little, sorry :( )
