I look forward to advancing science under the comforting certainty that all results will be ideologically consistent. It’s reassuring to study somewhere that surely encourages free inquiry, as long as the inquiry already knows the answer.

Email to check portal. No GRE, no publications, roughly 3 years of research experience in various fields. PER interest

Email to check portal. No GRE, no publications, but had talked with PI of interest many times and thought it was a good match. Over a year research experience at a national laboratory, and received GEM fellowship.

Sigh...

No interview

Was interviewed once by the committee and then interviewed by my PI of choice

Had an interview mid January with dream PI that went really well.
