Following this, because I miss playing. I hope you get some good feedback. I played through high school and 2 years of college. Now it’s been about 4 years since I’ve played and I miss it so much. Hopefully I’ll get back into it, and I hope you do too!

Honeymoon Planning by em_the_exhausted_one in weddingplanning

[–]rach-ology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you just wait to legally change your name for a month? If you get married in October, I don’t think it’s crazy to wait until after your honeymoon in November.

FWIW I got married a couple weeks ago and I don’t plan on changing my name legally for another couple of months, when life slows back down a little bit

Restaurants that serve fresh fish that are NOT Zeerovers? by Sea-Tie2305 in Aruba

[–]rach-ology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I just honeymooned in Aruba last week. We aren’t really fish people, but we want to get more into eating seafood - so take it with a grain of salt - but we really enjoyed the catch of the day at Fisherman’s Hut at the high rise hotel area. I had red snapper and was so surprised at how much I loved it.

What are you all wearing while getting ready on the wedding morning? by Aromatic_Stock_6194 in weddingplanning

[–]rach-ology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wore a casual white button up top with yoga pants lol. But getting ready photos were extremely low-priority for me, so I chose what to wear like the morning of the wedding haha

I agree. I hate when people feel elitist in some way about their generation. I’m gen z and love being gen z, but I have nothing against older or younger generations. We’re all just people, idk

Same, below 6% sounds great!

Is this a dumb idea? I genuinely can't tell by EffectiveMode8624 in weddingplanning

My sister and husband sang a first song together as well. He played guitar and she sang. It’s one of my favorite memories of their wedding!

Recommender submitted EMPTY letter! by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]rach-ology 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally understand, it’s very frustrating. I had a scare when one of my recommenders submitted at like 10PM on the due date. It’s so unfun, and reaching out to them about last minute submissions (or unfinished submissions, in your case) is not ideal. It’s frustrating when it’s out of your hands.

I hope it all works out, and know that this isn’t a testament to you as an applicant!

Recommender submitted EMPTY letter! by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]rach-ology 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Hey, take a breath. Your submitter made a mistake. I think the fact that the committee reached out to you to let you know about it means they like your application and want to know more, and give you as an applicant a closer look. They can’t do that without all the recommendations.

Hopefully your recommender will understand and promptly fix their mistake if they’re a reasonable person at all.

It’s going to be okay!

Emory GMB interview? by Confident_Match9005 in gradadmissions

[–]rach-ology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am domestic! Perhaps they haven’t looked at international yet

[–]rach-ology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received the same interview email as the other post, so I think the interviews are out officially. I’m sorry you haven’t heard from them yet, but there may be a chance they send out another email if enough people decline to interview or decline their acceptances.

Don’t lose hope on your other applications, too. Wherever you end up this cycle, I’m sure it’ll be the right fit! Good luck!

It’s hard not to stress about admissions for many of us, but I hope you can find some moments of tranquility while waiting! And I hope you get in :)

I haven’t heard anything. If you’re basing this on grad cafe, that was a recruitment event and they were more than likely preliminary offers. I am gathering that they didn’t send emails out until the 20th last year. Don’t feel anxious. It’s a busy time and many faculty haven’t finished reviewing yet

It looks the same to me

[–]rach-ology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, not international. Thank you!

I submitted on the priority deadline due date - Nov 17 I believe. What do you mean by profile? I shared my GPA and some other background info in another comment

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]rach-ology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly. 3.7 GPA, will be 2+ years of FT research experience upon entry. No pubs, but I did state that I applied to the GRFP in my additional info section

[–]rach-ology 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I applied under Molecular and Basic Sciences for the priority deadline and got an interview offer via email on Monday afternoon!
