  1. I co-authored a research manuscript that was just very recently got accepted for publication on an open access journal with an IF of 4.5. This will be my first publication and I mentioned briefly the fact that I was working on it in my SOP. Now that the paper is still in press and not yet officially published, should I give an update to the programs whence I haven't heard anything from? Will it matter? Thanks!

  3. My LinkedIn page got visits from "an employee of Penn State" and "a private user in Buffalo, NY" in early January. Got interview invite from Buffalo, but nothing from Penn State. At least I know someone was interested enough to look me up, though. Good luck with your apps
  4. Thanks for sharing this! I really needed to read that. This application cycle is not looking good for me and I am preparing my move to launch my plan B, C, and so forth, but I know if I fail now I will be back in the game next year, hopefully with stronger application all-around. Still hoping it won't come to that, though..
  5. Nope, definitely not a thing. I am eating all this loads of carbs and sweets because I really like them, not because the unofficial rejection I got after emailing my top choice program yesterday..

  7. Just emailed my top choice program for an update and told that the adcom "has reviewed your application and has placed it on hold while the first round of interviews are being conducted. A final decision will be made in a few weeks." Well, at least now I know.. :(

      @DBearThanks! Looking at last year's record I don't think they really do multiple rounds of interview and I think I can expect the rejection letter coming in. I'm still hanging my hopes for few other programs, though.

      Yes! that's why we apply to more than one school! I'm a bit sad that I haven't heard from my top choice yet about interviews but yeah, I've applied to 7 total so.. just gotta get that one admission!!

  9. One year a long time ago, there were penguins who didn't wear hats when swimming. This made their mothers livid. "Unacceptable!" Frightened, they screamed, "Bears!" Nobody seemed convinced so instead of going swimming they tried juggling. Their mothers tried everything they

  11. The fact that you did all that tells me that you are dedicated and passionate about your field. I hope one application cycle failure won't make you let go of something you have spent your whole college years working on. Regarding acceptance to safety school I am also still applying this cycle, but for me even if it is a safety school I have chosen to apply to that school because I know it would be one worth attending. I am sure you did not just choose a random program for your safety, either. I would totally attend my safety school if they accept me. But then again, that's just me, if you decide that another year would give you enough boost to get into your dream school next year, then it might also worth the wait

  14. Definitely something I should try. I have been tracking my sleep in the last 2 months and so far had only 1 night of proper 8h sleep. Now even though my schedule allows for that amount of sleep, this waiting anxiety does not help my sleep at all *sigh*

  17. Congrats! You're right, hope is all we have now, so I'm never giving it up.
