- <p>Every graduate school cycle comes with its own unpredictable circumstances. Speaking as a 2025 applicant, I had no idea that the dramatic decrease in government funding could affect my chances so much. Therefore, when it's your turn to jump into the application cycle, make sure to ask multiple sources for advice and not be afraid to rely on your instincts a little more. Every program differs slightly in the application guidelines. It is crucial to pick those details out in advance. In this blog post, I will exhibit my timeline and experience preparing my application materials. As a first-generation student, I felt very lost at times during the application process, as it was all new to me, and many details were never made explicit. As my current PI (primary investigator) likes to put it, there is a hidden circuit we have find out for ourselves to be successful in academia.
