No interview, master's. no pubs (yet)

received email, and check the portal

No interview. Working on thesis-based Master's right now in Canada, thought I was a great fit because PI does exactly what my current advisor does. 4.0/4.0 master's GPA. No publications (yet). PI at Yale knows my current advisor. TOUGH!

Interviewed and accepted a week later.

4a/1w/5r/1p Gpa is grad. IR subfield.

Got an email to check portal. Applied for Multi-messenger astronomy under Kyle Kremer.
