    This was really cool to watch! I didn't realize how much getting the NSF GRFP could help with admissions. Congrats!!
  • @ulialopatin3600
    This was so great to watch - thank you for providing insight to the crazy journey of graduate admissions!
  • Great video. I learned a lot by watching this video regarding the GRFP. Thanks for sharing
  • @NuellaEmma
    Congratulations!! I will be applying for PhD this fall for next in Architecture. I am glad you got into the school of your choice!
  • @happigirl4523
    Hiii! Omg, I went to UPenn DEEPenn visit last year and you were one of the panel there that was talking about the grad school admission process! Can’t believe I found your YouTube video. Congrats!

    3:53 " I got in guys! Isn't that crazy? That's crazy!" Haha😂😂 that was funny the way you answered your own question. Congrats on your accomplishment
  • @DivineBre
    Congrats Brandon! Way to advocate for yourself, you’ll need to do alot of that during your program most likely

    Nice video bro, it is nice to watch the process
  • @AdrienLegendre
    What is most important is the knowledge you acquire and the work that you do, i.e. the papers published, during graduate school. Within a few years of your career, no one will care where you went to graduate school or who rejected or accepted you.
  • Thank you for making this video. This was so realistic and honest and I appreciated this, thank you and Congratulations!!
  • The video was very helpful. If I am not getting many interviews, should I reach out to the professors mentioned in my SOPs, or should I wait a bit longer, since it's only about January 10th?

    Congrats! NSF is a very huge deal, only for very top phd. And physics is very hard to get in. Did you email caltech or mit? Wonder do those school change decisions
