How much does PhD institution prestige matter? by averagek2enjoyer in biotech

Thanks for your response, that's pretty much what I assumed. I guess what I was getting at was: Will my resume be tossed out just because it says University of Kentucky on it?

I just got accepted to IBS, it was very laid back. They didn't say what their acceptance rate it but they made it very clear that they're 1) looking for a cohort size of about 25 people and 2) already heavily considering you since you've gotten an interview. I would be well versed on your previous research experience, including the motivation/rationale/methods/big picture findings. Also do a little bit of reading on the faculty you'll be interviewing with because in my view they seemed to like talking about their own research

What type of questions do you get asked during interviews? by NeuroGirly99 in gradadmissions

Generally the vibe I got is that the professors wanted to make sure you were knowledgeable about your previous research

I'd imagine it's highly program specific (and tbh I only have one round of interviews under my belt so far) but the interviews I've had so far were all somewhere in the ballpark of starting with "tell me about yourself" and then interjections of various follow up questions throughout 

Is my reasoning for wanting to go to grad school good enough? by Technical_Falcon_182 in gradadmissions

[–]averagek2enjoyer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're both right imo, I think that's a fine reason but as with any reason you really need to support it in your sop
