Not sure if anyone has experience with this but I have now been declined from some programs post-interview this recruitment cycle. Barring some type of screw up/issue from interview day, which from the feedback I received is not the case, what are the chances of getting another interview at the same school if you reapply the following year?
I worked out a plan with my current PI where I would split time with another team in order to return with better technical experience in my area of interest (neuroimaging), add another good letter of rec, and have a few more publications. So I'd like to think I would only return a better candidate, but did that ship sail at the programs I interviewed with this cycle?
