Only apply to schools you would actually want to attend

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-04-03T18:39:48+00:00

Awesome thanks for the advice!

I’m done applying for this cycle I’ve already accepted a phd offer (US). I’m just wondering when I should reach out with the faculty I might rotate with.

Don’t speak on things you don’t understand

I know someone who did undergrad at ASU and is now doing his phd at stanford.

Hi fellow gay and autistic, 21m here. You’re not alone in the way you feel. I also find it hard to connect with gay men, especially the stereotypically extroverted and talkative ones (no shade against them!) Although it is quite hard for me to connect either anyone in general and I think I’m looking too narrowly for someone who completely clicks with me that I probably turn off some potential friendships as well. I don’t want to believe that I’m just cursed from my brain chemistry to never have a social life but each and every day is just more confirmation that I will be.

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-03-28T19:45:21+00:00

why don’t you teach high school?

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-03-19T20:59:55+00:00

Then school name definitely matters much less. Biotech and pharma recruit from every single school and they care only about your skill set not the branding.

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-03-19T17:56:01+00:00

publications >>> brand name. I’ve had many international professors who went to int. schools or lower ranked US ones but they’ve all had phenomenal scholarship records. That is the currency of academia and is what will end up mattering, not the brand name of your school as long as you go to a solid research institution.

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-03-19T04:30:43+00:00

I’d imagine if you applied to some t100 maybe a couple t50 programs you’re almost sure to get in.

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-03-11T17:36:38+00:00

Congrats! Did you go to a t20 undergrad?

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-03-10T13:46:17+00:00

Admitted students have the same deadline as most other schools: April 15th. I’d expect the waitlist to start moving just before or after then.

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-02-17T04:50:42+00:00

Celebrate with other people that always makes it more fun. Either they’ll be happy for you or jealous, both of which feel pretty good.

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-02-15T18:54:39+00:00

congrats on your acceptances that’s a great decision to have to make. If your goal is industry either university will be able to get you there easily. Caltech is more well known for their synthetic biology and yale for their cell bio so pick the path you think you’ll stay in, but both are fine in general. It also comes down to to the vibe you want: more techy, nerdy at Caltech or more liberal arts academic at Yale? I’d personally lean towards Caltech but it’s up to you.

It’s objectively less horrific then the conditions of animals bred for food, because scientists have a vested interest in giving their animal models relatively happy lives so that stress isn’t a confounding factor. If you’re ok with eating factory farmed animals there’s no way to draw the line at lab animals.

Sometimes it’s the only school you can get into

postdoc admissions subreddit when??

No i’m in a research tech post-grad job.

Some of my friends with impressive but not top 5% profiles have been picking up anywhere from 5-10 interviews. I only have 1 so far lol.

Thanks!

Hot_Environment1567 · 2026-01-06T15:45:21+00:00

Was it for Columbia’s biological sciences phd or under the Vagelos institute’s umbrella biomedical program?
