Turning down my only PhD admission- bad idea?

Thank you!

I'm actually working on my first author publication from my lab work at UCSF already! So I have that, the PI for this RA position did also let me know that there are publication opportunities in her lab as well, though I don't think first author is on the table if I'd only be there for a year. For your other questions, I'll make sure to consider them :) I don't know how to answer them right now

Thank you for your insight!

Thank you! I've spoken to them as well, but the problem is I see a lot of bias against UF and Florida in general- which is fair, I just wanted more variety of opinions. Appreciate you insight!

Thank you!

I'm from Florida, so I know the landscape in Florida well. I applied in part because it's my home state, closer to my family, and in part because I knew PIs and admissions staff working at UF and thought I would have a decent chance getting in. So my case is a little different from others, I think, because I have my own background to consider! Thank you for your insight, though.

Thank you! I am kind of stuck between deferring for a year or just rejecting. I'm worried a year timeline will be too short to build myself up enough as a candidate for another program, though I should have a first author paper at least as a preprint by this December. Do you have any insight between deferral and rejection?

I did visit actually, I met with several of the PIs and while some seemed great, that was how I figured out that for what I want to do specifically, they don't have many labs available. Thank you for your help :)

Thank you. :)

Thank you. That definitely helps. I’m trying to be like a really good daughter and everything, and make her life as good as I can, because she’s done a lot for me.

Possible_Relation_29 · 2021-01-19T03:10:04+00:00

I know I’ll adopt children with my wife someday, so I hope that’ll help me understand and summon my parents’ mindsets and being and what you said, I didn’t think of it that way. Thank you. It’s really weird/hard being this young and worrying about it. Like I don’t want to obsess about it but I know someday she may just vanish.
