pterosaur Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm applying this cycle for PhD programs in neuro/BME. The rub: I'm on co-op this semester, but I just got laid off from my co-op (along with over half the company). I'll be starting my final seem of classes in January, but in the meantime, I have 3 empty months. I'm currently trying to leverage my way back into an on-campus lab I was working in before co-op, but I'm not sure what the outcome of that will be. Is his something I need to worry about for applications, or am I being exceedingly paranoid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylogician Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Sorry you got laid off and I hope you find another job, but this is really not something to worry about in the context of grad school applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't think you need to worry about it in terms of grad school applications--it's something you had no control over!! But you might be concerned about your status as a full time student in this case etc. I know that my co-op program protected us in the event of a layoff so that we would still count as full time student even though we might not be taking classes or in a co-op position. But it sounds like you have this part under control since it sounds like you are working with them to get back in your old co-op placement!
