  1. I hope this doesnt get taken down. But here we go. A while ago I met some people through interviews at schools during my graduate school cycle (2020-2021). For some reason we stayed friends, and came up with the idea to record our journeys at some America's top schools (Stanford and Weill Cornell). In the podcast we talk about our journey, particularly the struggles we faced then and currently. We also have guests join the show to teach us something about their paths in STEM and their hopes and dreams For episode 1: we interviewed Udoka. Udoka used to be in a PhD program at Tufts but decided to leave and pursue a MD/PhD at UChicago. Listern to his story here.
  2. Here is episode 2 of the podcast: https://youtu.be/XAQZYTAVng4
  3. BUMP- second ep will be on interviews tips and much more
  4. Hi all! Me and some friends started a podcast about out PhD journey at Weill Cornell and Stanford. We are minorities chatting about our paths to grad school. In our first episode we briefy chatted about what made our application stand out. Here is the link for anyone who want to check it out:
  5. Only you can make the best out of both situations! May our phd journey be fun and fruitful!
  6. The program only funds 1st and 4th year. I think The rest is by the lab.
  7. I think the funding with the UIC GEMS is a bit iffy. But if they are about the same, UIC offers a large variety of research. Living in Chicago vs Providence is also something to take into account. Prestige wise: it doesnt matter, UIC is holding its own against Uchicago and Northwestern.
  8. If you not going to do anything with it, then you dont need it. People have been saying that there is an increase in application based on proffessors mentioning increase applications on twitter. Some schools have mentioned the amount of people who applied in the rejection/acceptance letter. If you are curious about a school, you should email them. I suggest that you DONT try to use these numbers to justfiy some of your admission results. **Schools will have more info on their website about how many applied but that wont be availble until next fall. Good luck -GÏD
  9. Because that would put the blame on him/herself instead of others
  10. If you want people reviews about on campus housing, try youtube. Keep in mind that ther atmostphere might be very different ( I think freshman/sophmores arent allowed on campus). If you have a department, try to get in contact with the grad students there(they can answer questions like this, plus you are making friends for when you move to Palo Alto). I hope to see you around campus! take care
  11. They have a grad student housing website. I would start there. Also, you can always email them. Unless you are planning to move this summer, I would wait a bit with the Stanford housing situation because there might be drastic changes due to Covid/vaccines availability.
  12. All you can do is wait for their reply! Hopefully you get some good news!
  13. It was a journey! I am happy for the opportunity I got and potentially go to Stanford in the fall. Take care yall
  14. "Take it personally". Wherever you end up, show that that they made the wrong choice.
  15. Last post before results tomorrow! My message to everyone: Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Whether you are a finalist or not, the job remains the same.
  16. You can look at the list of scholars or just ask them. I would go with the second option, since they are available to answer questions like this.
  17. Lol I knew it, they just sent an email! So just like last year, results will be avaible @ 1pm. Go tell your friends!
  18. Last year results were release at 1pm pst. So, I expect a time frame of noon-2pm. They might send an email tonight letting us know when to check. It might be better to check at the end of the day, just to be safe!
  19. Bioscience PHD interviews are March 3rd-5th, the knight-henessy interview is March 6th. If you are biosciences person, my guest is that the following week you should hear back. Which one comes first? God I hope knight-henessy because it would confirm the other one. WOOOOOOOOOOW
  20. Results will annouced a week from now!!! WOW we have made it!! I hope yall are excited cause I am! I am also feeling lucky and I want to extend that luck to you! I hope yall are taking care of yourself! No matter what happens in a week, I wish you the best! -The wind of freedom blows
