Wow, neat. Something must have sold you other than your GPA. Did you have a professional track record, or was it something else?

- eanzenberg 10y agoI applied to a mid-tier research institution for graduate physics and I believe they liked the amount of research I did as an undergrad, which amounted to every summer having a research internship and my last full year being advised by a professor. No publications came from undergrad btw. As a grad student I did lag a big behind in classes but I joined a research lab my 1st year and published some well-cited papers in Physical Review Letters, a top Physics journal[1]. In my grad application I reaffirmed my passion for research as being the reason I wanted to attend a graduate school. After that I took a postdoc at a top-tier international research lab and again published well-cited papers in Journal of the American Chemical Society, another top journal[1]. So from the grad school's perspective, I should classify as a 'good' hire :).
