How to Manage Stress and Stay Calm While Waiting for Grad School Interview Results

Don’t think you have ever applied for grad school; just focus on your hobbies and current work. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself in a cycle of grief and psychological pain. Try to be calm. How do you develop calmness? Be present, so no thoughts from your past or future disturb your present moment. This leads to a pathway of real independence, free from grief. I have never seen anyone who possesses calmness at any point and isn’t successful.

Regarding the quality of schools, my professor used to say: “Try to choose good problems, not just good schools. A good school may help you for a few years with job placement, but solving good problems can benefit your entire career.”Bcz my professor did PhD at 500 qs rank Univeristy and worked on good problem, now he is professor at Ivy League with 20 million Fund for research. Good luck. 👍
