So I just wasted 30 minutes of my life, but now yall can stop with the whole "n=1" thing because now n=42

I made the doc open and editable by anyone so we can keep updating it

Notable stuff-
42 total people
28 did not receive complete emails- 13 have IIs
11 did receive complete emails immediately- no IIs
1 received a complete email way later (right before II)- so one II
2 received complete emails and did not specify when

I was complete immediately haha (cries internally)
 
I wish this thread can be stickied somewhere so I can relive the humor of this whole complete email business. Bookmarked!
 
Is Upitt's challenge essay asking for an example of a professional/work issue you dealt with or something more long-term/substantial and personal to show resilience?
I wrote about an isolated incident that had to do with my family and got an interview, so just go with something you feel you can write about well with only 250 words
 
Does anyone know if Pitt provides a hotel/student host for MSTP interviews?
 
HI EVERyone
i havent checked this in a few days
What us he update re/email theory? DOes that still hold tru? Pls recap
 
What does the II theory say about getting a complete email over a month after submission?

I've done enough research over the past few years to know that there will ALWAYS be outliers in any study 😉 I'm curious to hear your outcome but I'm crossing all my fingers that you'll be getting an interview invite soon! Can't wait to send you that "congratulations!"
 
So to confirm... not getting a complete email means II for sure? Or just a chance for an II?
 
For the love of science and data I'm going to send them a complete email and see what happens to my II. It will add to the robustness of our scientific approach to have another experimental arm for when when we submit our manuscript for publication

Haha
And for those that did get those instant complete emails, just know that there will be other high impact journals to submit to. 🙂
