Hello,
The subject header says it all. I am very distraught and am on the verge of tears. I don't understand what my issue is. I have a complete app (with reccs and everything) from scientific faculty. I have a 3.88 GPA for a BS degree and will be graduating this May. I individalize the emails. 75% don't respond, 20% say they don't need one, and 5% have told me that they are considering me amongst other applicants but this was over a month ago.
Maybe it is because I only have a year of research in a biochem lab and have been searching for a neuroscience lab. I also live in Florida so could distance be an issue? I am looking for gap year opportunities and everything I apply to seems to be a no go for me. I am just so very disheartened.
Any help or confidence booster would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks
