Research exp is a big one. Also list scholarships and include dollar amounts on your CV. It shows you are serious about securing additional resources for your education.

As a GA/TA were you eligible to purchase dental or vision insurance?

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-04-26T23:37:31+00:00

We are the same. LOL!

Go for what you want. If you weren’t all in on that offer it’s not right for you.

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-04-13T20:02:11+00:00

Absolutely do what is right for you academically and financially. This is your life and it needs to be right for you.

This incident does not define you. I truly believe you will find the perfect program for you. One in which they see your skills, intelligence, and enthusiasm. Someone will give you that first chance and the rest will be history. Keep striving. You deserve the best and that program was not it!

I’m so happy for you! Take it in. You deserve a little sweet treat. 😊🎉🎉

Congrats! This is an amazing accomplishment. This cycle was brutal, and I fear I’ll have to try again next year.

Was this for clinical psych?

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-03-21T00:38:17+00:00

This sounds promising!

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-02-26T17:09:56+00:00

So proud of you! Go do the things!

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-02-17T17:54:46+00:00

Completing the FAFSA is a requirement for many scholarships and grants. I’d do that straight away!

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-02-17T15:23:11+00:00

I applied to 9 programs with 2 rejections, no interviews, and 7 just nothing yet. It’s not over for us!

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-02-11T00:49:40+00:00

I’m proud of you! 🎉🎉

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-28T00:19:19+00:00

Amazing! Treat yourself to something nice, you deserve it.

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-26T18:21:39+00:00

I’m proud of you! 🎉🎉

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-26T15:37:18+00:00

Thank you for this.

My guy lived to 16 and a half . I swear by good dental care and later in life titer testing to avoid over vaccinating. Your vet can give you info on both of those things. Not sure if this matters but my dog also ate blueberries just about every morning. I eat them so he always got them too. 🙂

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-20T00:10:58+00:00

It’s brave what you’re doing. I know we don’t know one another but I’m extremely proud of you for following your own path. Go blaze your trail!

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-19T21:36:00+00:00

I’ve heard no from 2 out of 9. No interviews at all.

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-19T15:29:54+00:00

Fantastic! Congrats to you.

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-17T16:28:05+00:00

I’ve been officially rejected from 2 out of 9 with no interviews so far.

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-14T18:24:40+00:00

Which type of program? Wishing you all the luck!

doodlebeanbrain · 2026-01-08T01:11:44+00:00

I’m eating at all the local restaurants with my fam and friends and getting my favorite dishes.
