I’m in a similar boat, I’m quite impressed by your kind of resilience. How do you find yourself keeping your head up vs. feeling defeated after doing all you can?
@@royale9985 My view is like this: Life is only for once and I want to understand astronomy. And if I don't try hard now, I will regret it in future. And I have found out that things eventually come to us if we keep on working for them. It may take a little longer than others.
Ahh thank you so much for this comment - I am so glad you enjoyed it!! EEK good luck for your PhD! Let me know if there are any videos in particular that would be helpful for me to make or any questions that I can help answer! Super happy that you have subscribed!!
I am so glad you found it helpful and am sorry that you are in the same situation - I know it is a super tricky time and I hope that some of these suggestions might be helpful!
Our STEM PhD program expects all applicants to have at least a year of research experience. None of the suggestions you mentioned would make a difference. It cost $500k for a stipend and tuition and on top of that the cost of their research program. Just because you like reading research or reviewing research articles does not show you have the potential to do research. Are you suggesting that the vet school you are attending does not allow students to do research. If that is the case then they are hindering the progress of the field of veterinary medicine. In the vet and MD programs I know a large percentage of the admitted students did research as undergraduates. There are research opportunities for veterans students and the top schools like Cornell have a DVM/PhD program.
I got 15 rejections this time. Will keep on applying even if it takes 5 years to find one.
