Graduate School Admission Results

Email saying to check portal for admissions decision

1.5 year in academic lab, 2 years in industry lab. 2 presentations, no pubs (yet).

Email indicating a status update on application portal. 1 year of full-time research experience, 2 master's degrees in psychology (and 2 research theses), 9 peer-reviewed publications (3 first-authored), 6 conference presentations (3 as presenting author), some experience as an ad-hoc reviewer (3 journals). Research fit with two PIs I mentioned in my SOP was probably not the absolute best, though.
