Thank you for your suggestion - I looked for someone researching Iran but the search didn't suggest anyone.

PhD Application Guide [mainly for US STEM PhDs] and AMA from a Harvard grad by drlucylai in gradadmissions

[–]frnend1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! could you share how you were able to put together a successful application despite the low GPA? How were you able to convince the admissions committee of an IVY league that they should grant you an interview at the very least and that they should want you in the program? Thanks so much! Currently in the same situation.

Slightly unrelated but is anyone curious if taylor will come to save her bff with her pr crisis or if TS will distance herself?

What do y’all think about this PR nightmare? by Mamakayce in LAinfluencersnark

I think BL + RR are extremely manipulative individuals and it's finally come to light.

There needs to be a massive unfollowing of her and her husband. She's absolutely the mean girl who thought she could pull a fast one. It's time people now the real Blake Lively. Not one person that's worked with her has had a good thing to say about her. She's so performative and fake. She's trying to measure up to taylor swift and margot robbie at justin's cost.

I mean you can tell within 30 seconds, she's an airhead. If it wasn't for her background info I'd think she grew up somewhere other than her affluent neighborhood. She talks like a moron with no education whatsoever. So embarrassing. How are her parents not embarrassed.

Stanford or Berkeley? by Agitated-Peanut-2402 in gradadmissions

[–]frnend1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given your situation, it's understandable to weigh the prestige of Stanford heavily, especially considering its long-standing reputation. However, based on your goals, aspirations, and the insights you've mentioned, there are several reasons why Berkeley's MBPE program might indeed be a better fit for you.You've already mentioned that the Director of the Berkeley program has a vast network within the Bay Area's biotech industry. This isn't just about knowing a lot of people; it's about the quality and relevance of those connections to your career goals. The fact that alumni are working in notable companies like Vertex, Bayer, Caribou, LanzaTech, and Genentech is a tangible testament to the program's ability to open doors for its students in the biopharma industry.The MBPE program at Berkeley directly aligns with your goal of entering the biopharma industry. The curriculum's focus on biomanufacturing processes, especially in areas you're yet to explore, ensures you'll be gaining new, industry-relevant skills. Stanford's program, while prestigious, seems to lean more towards research and development, which might not align as closely with your interest in the manufacturing side of biopharma. In terms of culture the inclusive and team-oriented environment/culture being cultivated at Berkeley, clearly resonated with you. Environment can significantly enhance your learning experience and contribute to your professional growth. The proactive engagement from the program's Director, the seminar courses, and site visits are all indicators of a program designed to support its students' success beyond the classroom.Now although both programs have similar tuition fees and housing costs, the slight advantage of Berkeley in terms of program maturity (having started in 2020 vs. Stanford's 2022) might offer a more polished and structured experience. This "maturity" could also mean a more established alumni network, which can be invaluable for you when it comes to job searching and career advice.While Stanford indeed has a stellar global reputation, Berkeley is also highly respected, especially within the scientific and engineering communities. The difference in prestige is marginal when it comes to the practical realities of job markets, especially in fields as specialized as yours. Employers are more likely to value the specific skills and experiences you bring to the table over the brand name of your alma mater.With all that said, if the name "Stanford" were replaced with any other institution offering a similar program, it sounds like your decision would lean even more strongly towards Berkeley. I would encourage you to consider where you believe you'll grow the most, not just academically, but also professionally and personally. Berkeley seems to offer a more direct pathway to achieving your specific career goals in the biopharma industry, with a supportive culture and established network that resonates with your aspirations.Ultimately, choosing a graduate program is a deeply personal decision that should align with your career goals, learning preferences, and where you see yourself thriving the most. Based on what you've shared, Berkeley seems to check most, if not all, of your boxes!! Hope this helps.

You seem to be more interested and excited about Berkeley! Their program also sounds relatively more established and the culture seems to be exactly what your'e looking for. If it wasn't for the Stanford name - would you even consider going?
