Hey all, hope you guys are coping with anxiety okay. Hey if there are pretty low numbers on Grad Cafe, maybe less competition for us right? Anyways, hey, my name is Mike, and I study evolution. I just graduated this semester and finished applying to 6 programs. In order of preference, they were UMN, CUNY, UH, University of Chicago, Columbia, University of Oregon. Over the summer I built a pretty strong relationship with a couple potential PIs, so I'm hoping that and my research experience will be enough even though my gpa is barely over a 3. What about you guys.
