Just want to share my enthusiasm for finally receiving an acceptance offer! I’ve been trying for the past 3 years to get into a MS program. To be rejected over and over not only stung each time, but when all you can do is keep applying without letting that imposter syndrome set in sucks, especially when self-doubt creeps in and questioning if I’m even good enough.
I boosted my CV during these past 3 years by gaining research experience at my undergrad school’s research lab, beyond grateful for my mentor to have given me the opportunity to lead my own research study and hold a valuable position as lead researcher. Was able to present at a few conferences, it really helped me get to where I am now. Still feels like a bit of a dream haha, but I’m so excited for this next step in my life and academic/career path
