  4. Literally the only thing keeping me sane(ish) while I wait for the decision post-interview is that everyone who is in the program, who is where I want to be, was once in my position. They went through this too. So I have to "do my time" and wait before I get rewarded (hopefully). Ugh.

  7. I finally recorded a voice message on my work phone voicemail (which is important in case potential participants call for research study info), and I didn't completely shudder at the sound of my own voice on the playback! Small victories

  10. I've been daydreaming about getting into my top program so hard that I have to constantly keep reminding myself that it hasn't happened (yet), haha.

  14. What is with all of the spam on the results page lately? I suppose at least it's an effective deterrent from checking, if anything...

  17. I think training opportunities is a great answer, especially if you were able to give specifics. You could also have prefaced your answer by being honest and saying research match was a big contributing factor to your decision to apply. Aside from that, what else made you apply there? Is there collaboration potential among faculty that you foresee taking advantage of? Is the program located in an area that has a research population of interest easily accessible? Do faculty currently have grants you are interested in? Is there something about the culture of the program that is appealing? Maybe the way their labs are structured is ideal for you. Does the program emphasize certain values that you identify with? Just some things to think about if you follow up with them, or for future interviews.

  20. I don't have much experience with this, but based on research and reading I've done, I would say no. If a program wanted to accept someone without funding, they would accept them without funding instead of rejecting them. The one caveat might be if the rejection letter explicitly states that the only reason for rejection is lack of funding. Even in that case, though, I would advise against it as it feels like it would be whiny/in bad form to try to negotiate. And aside from that, aren't unfunded PhD programs generally a bad idea?
