Thank you to *everyone* for an extraordinary #GradRecruitWeek.
Undergrads—thank you for trusting us with your Qs & letting us share them with others.
And for putting yourself out there by tweeting about your search for a #GradSchool. We know that’s a tough thing to do.

Undergrads—thank you for trusting us with your Qs & letting us share them with others.
And for putting yourself out there by tweeting about your search for a #GradSchool. We know that’s a tough thing to do.
And #Mentors—Grads, PostDocs, Staff Scientists, Administrators and Profs! Thank you for participating in polls, giving your opinions and perspectives and sharing your (and colleagues’) open #GradSchool positions. You helped numerous students who appreciate it! #GradRecruitWeek
And we had support from so many organizations and student-run groups who retweeted our original announcement of #GradRecruitWeek. You helped us connect with so many undergrads & mentors we would not have reached on our own. #GradRecruitWeek
Next, we’ll share 10 retweets from the week. Obviously, we can share every tweet so we have selected a few that we want to highlight for this last part. #GradRecruitWeek
1) This tweet highlighting #Mentors who are available to chat virtually with an #UndergradInTheLab about becoming a #GradInTheLab. (Yo, mentors, you can still add your name below.) Send these mentors a DM to get started!

2) Who to contact when you have questions about the application process, if a PI has an open #GradSchool postion, the lab culture, or the department culture. #GradRecruitWeek https://twitter.com/youinthelab/status/1306190342891343872?s=20">https://twitter.com/youinthel...
3) We had several tweets on COVID (not surprisingly). But this one captured a lot of #UndergradInTheLab concerns. #GradRecruitWeek https://twitter.com/youinthelab/status/1306056560339288072?s=20">https://twitter.com/youinthel...
4) I was hoping for more comments on this inquiry from an #Undergrad who was trying to decide between an MS (that they didn’t really want) or a PhD (which they really want). So…it’s not too late to chime in with your opinions! #GradRecruitWeek https://twitter.com/youinthelab/status/1306033062497714177?s=20">https://twitter.com/youinthel...
5) Recommendation Letters. Do what you can so your #mentors have what they need to get them done on time and write the strongest ones possible. #GradRecruitWeek https://twitter.com/youinthelab/status/1306389152880103425?s=20">https://twitter.com/youinthel...
6) When you contact a potential graduate advisor through email, include a current CV. Here are some tips to help you make that CV. Also, when making it don& #39;t judge yourself harshly because you have less on yours than someone else does on theirs. https://twitter.com/youinthelab/status/1306330768235352064?s=20">https://twitter.com/youinthel...
7) This thread with favorite articles from some of our followers and mine ( @TheLabMentor) on how to read scientific literature. Bookmark this one and come back to it when you’re struggling to get the reading done. #GradRecruitWeek https://twitter.com/youinthelab/status/1305962395886587906?s=20">https://twitter.com/youinthel...
8) This thread on what questions that professors like to ask at #GradSchool interviews. And PIs—it’s not too late to add yours. And #GradStudents, #Postdocs, and Staff Scientists—feel free to add in ones you were asked. #GradRecruitWeek https://twitter.com/youinthelab/status/1305827451847794689?s=20">https://twitter.com/youinthel...
