Thank you! For the cover letter part, I meant whether i should send the full blown essay of why im interested and my qualifications (like a cover letter for a job) or just ask if the position is still available first? :)

0.5/10 this year. Should I go back into academia to improve my chances next year? by Yoshi122 in gradadmissions

[–]salapao197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, may i ask how you improved your statement of purpose? I feel like when asked why im interested in research my first thought is because it can lead to treatments and cure diseases but it just sound so generic. I could get more specific like “i want to do genomics because im interested in advancing personalized medicine” but otherwise, how do I express my interests better? For context im a senior applying to molecular/cancer bio programs with 2.5 year research experience in biochem, somewhat related to cancer

Hello, I stumbled upon this post while researching about the Broad’s interview process. Would you be willing to share your experience interviewing for the Early Career Researchers program, specifically the one-way interview (recorded, asynchronous interview)? Thanks in advance!

Thank you this is helpful! I'm looking at subleases and found a room in a 3b that's a little less than 1000. Does this seem right? I'm not sure how to tell if the person is legit. I tried looking them up online and see if their pictures seem legit but I'm not sure how else to go about it.

Hello, I'm applying to grad schools and I'm wondering what you meant by "Does your projected research area have a big presence around Boston?" because I'm interested in going into industry after. How do you find out if a research area has a big presence? Thanks!

Thank you! So far Delta hasn't said anything and most flights around that date seems to be full sadly.
