So I have interviewed at 2 PhD programs in the past month. Neither have given out any acceptances yet, and might not until April 1st. I have been searching through the RA jobs in my area and have found some perfect placements that I would love to work at. Some of them say they have start dates of June, some don't say anything. I'm wondering: Do you think it's too soon to start applying? There is no guarantee one way or the other that I Will or won't be accepted into a program, and it seems that everyone is applying for jobs right now at my undergraduate school. I worry that if I was hired (which would be awesome) that I wouldn't know if I had gotten into graduate school yet, and would be stuck in a very strange situation. What are you all doing for backup plans? Have you started searching and applying, or are you waiting until you hear from your interview sites? Thanks for any advice!!
