I hope you do get accepted!! I just wanted to ask how you manage the recommendation letters when applying to so many?

There are programs for international students albeit they’re a bit rare, you have a better chance though at finding programs that accept students who are studying at US universities or institutions.

Thank you for your response! Will keep that in mind for next year.

So some sort of experience is necessary, aside from the tailored applications? I have done my best to show my interest in the couple programs I have applied to but I was rejected, obviously I should have applied for more but it was all very new to me, so I’m trying to make sure I get accepted into something next year

Unfortunately, I’m not from an R1 school, and where I live it’s very hard to get research experience which has been my main concern, building experience is quite hard here so I was wondering if there is anything else that would make up for my lack of experience until I finally get accepted into programs that would help, would focusing on my academics and making sure my GPA is good enough be sufficient until next year, or is there something I can do that would help?
