  1. I would reapply to the school that I'm rejecting this year in Boston, however, I would also apply to a number of Boston schools that I've not yet applied to.
  2. The answer to that question partly lies in MIT's location as my family lives in the Boston area and is unable to move. I only applied to 2 schools in that area and got accepted to the other. The other school, however, is much lower ranking than MIT. My concern is not only with rank (as that would be silly), but the quality of research occurring at the other institution and in my ability to get fellowships at + postdocs after graduate school.
  3. Hello, This past cycle I applied to a number of chemistry graduate programs; MIT was one. I was accepted to most of the chemistry programs I applied to (many top 10). However, I was rejected to MIT which was my top pick. I was wondering if anyone has experience with reapplying. Is there anything I can do to improve my application enough to get in during the next cycle. I'm looking at non-graduate school alternatives for a year. Mostly at private research institutions and in industry. I applied with no publications but >3yrs of research experience and we are about to publish. Would it be worth it to try this? Additionally I wouldn't be totally lost if the reapplying goes south, as I feel I'll likely be able to get into other schools in the area. Thanks for the help!
