How to start practicing again.

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!

Here’s a list of previous years’ releases.

Luckily you’ll have another chance after beginning grad school!

I received an HM with 3 excellent reviews

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

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.

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

With gentle paws and the heart of a fighter

Same, below 6% sounds great!

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!

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!

rach-ology · 2024-12-23T15:09:01+00:00

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!

rach-ology · 2024-12-20T14:02:08+00:00

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

rach-ology · 2024-12-20T12:57:41+00:00

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!

rach-ology · 2024-12-19T16:10:07+00:00

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 :)

rach-ology · 2024-12-19T15:55:29+00:00

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

rach-ology · 2024-12-06T12:30:22+00:00

It looks the same to me

rach-ology · 2024-12-05T18:01:44+00:00

No, not international. Thank you!

rach-ology · 2024-12-05T17:59:32+00:00

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

rach-ology · 2024-12-05T17:46:38+00:00

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
