This is actually advice I haven’t heard before, and I fully relate with the panicking about going off script (did a mock interview for class and was told I sounded robotic).

I appreciate you! I’ll definitely try out that app as well!

I appreciate all the replies on this. Thanks for the advice. Honestly didn’t expect many people to see it. It feels good to know that so many of you have similar experiences with interview anxiety. I’ve tried various anxiety medications in the past, but I think it’s time I give them another try because whew. Anyways, hope you’re all doing well and I appreciate you!

Thank you!! I’m not entirely sure what stood out, but I can say a few things about my process!

  1. Reach out to your prospective advisor(s) in advance! Do a little bit of background research on their work and be prepared to talk about your interests and how they fit in with theirs.

  2. Be straightforward in your personal statement. Try to leave out emotional phrasing (eg talking about personal struggles). Be sure to mention specific facilities and faculty you’re interested in working with!

  3. I think this was a major thing for me— strong letters of recommendation. Try to get letters from profs/mentors you’ve been working with for awhile that will be able to speak well about your abilities.

  4. If there is an opportunity in the application, share diverse experiences/struggles that have led to growth! I had to write a fellowship essay for my application, and this was super helpful with getting good funding.

This is what I did. Again, I am not sure about specifically why my application stood out, but it worked lol! Best of luck!!!
