    I’m interviewing to PhD programs this cycle. I have one coming up and possibly another. I wanted to get insight and opinions on a sensitive topic. I’m overweight. I’m steeped in a rabbit hole of reading articles and a tenuous paper on overweight PhD applicants, that specially came out in 2013, who had lower admission rates if they interviewed in person than thinner applicants. Aside from the obvious “lose weight” comments and anything rude, I wanted to get opinions from anyone regarding bias or judgment regarding the interview process. I’m qualified and I believe I interview well, but biases exist and I don’t want the fact that I’m fat/chubby to affect chances severely. Does anyone have an experience or advice?
