[NDSEG 2013-2014]

I got that email also

 

Just got this email, did everyone get it?  Maybe they're getting overwhelmed by emails and questions...

The reviewers seemed to contradict each other, but each had merit in their critiques. All the reviewers thought my proposed research was very interesting but criticized my academic performance from undergrad. I think coming from a small program didn't do anything for my chances either. I have other external funding lined up for the next couple years, so definitely not the end of the world.

 

Congrats to those who were awarded!

You know what would be funny?  Once we get the emails and our results, we should edit all our posts so that future applicants think we got our results much, much later (like, early May).  I know, that would be cruel but amusing if we could pull it off

It would be even more cruel if we edited them so that they thought we got it much earlier, like March 15th haha

First reviewer thought my background was solid and my proposal was great. The second reviewer, well, he dispised my very existence.

[The sub-3.0 GPAs ACCEPTANCE thread]

I had a 2.96 undergrad gpa, GRE Scores of V:530 Q:800 AW:4.0, and 1 first author publication. I was rejected by all chemistry PhD programs I applied to last year. So far accepted to 1 PhD program that had a 3.0 cutoff (must have rounded up).

[Your favorite euphemism]

"Ahahaha, you actually applied here? what were you thinking?"
