  1. I think it's too early to inquire about this information. Some programs doesn't send out funding information until they know how many students are committed.
  2. Definitely #2. I think it's very naive to assume that you would have a better chance for landing a good post-doc position because you graduate from a top-10 program. Also, it's very naive to assume that you would "definitely" graduate from a top-ranked school because you got accepted there. gurl puhleaze.
  3. take the summer off, it'll be the last "free" summer you have for a really long time.
  4. a BA in Biology is enough for most technician type of work (entry level)
  5. You could audit a couple of MS Chemistry classes first to see if you could handle the course load or not, or have enough of background knowledge. How you thought about getting a MBA degree?
  6. Is it possible to have Dunning-Kruger syndrome and Imposter syndrome simultaneously?

      I think most grad students fluctuate between the two extremes.

      I think it's called "getting ready to defend a thesis."

  7. If you're sponsored then you'll be fine. I had a C when I applied and my overall GPA was 3.5 though. You shouldn't worry too much.

  9. "Looks like you are a natural at molecular biology." - my new advisor ^^

  10. I've been having weird dreams about Canada.. 1. fleeing to Canada 2. moving to Canada 3. visiting Canada ._.
  11. my advisor is more awesome than yours.

  12. A review paper should be considered as a publication. However, you should indicate that it was a review paper instead of a peer-reviewed research journal paper.

  16. Christmas gift came early, totally love this science book I bought off Amazon!

  17. done with my first semester in grad school. Time for some video games

  18. is SO over this pchem class =.=

  19. undergrad parties =/= grad parties.

  20. So I have confirmed this with my advisor this afternoon, he graduated from a very top-ranked program (top 5). He mentioned that it is very common for top-ranked schools to accept more students each year just so they have enough of TAs to teach lab and recitation sections. Then, the department will make it extraordinarily difficult for you to pass your PhD candidacy exams in your third year, a lot of students had to leave the program because of that, It's pretty crazy I know .
