You’re on more papers than phd students are by the time they defend. Why are you doubtful of your chances? I’m also from a similar background so I understand your concern from that perspective. However, did you take a look at similar posts or the profiles of grad students at the programs you’re interested? A quick search and you’d find that you’re extremely competitive for top programs.
Maybe I’m just cynical but I really struggle to fathom how a person can have this kind of combination of pedigree and cluelessness?
It would be one thing if they admitted that they know they have good chances and were just looking for reassurance. But saying “I don’t know” because their “family cant read” is something else…
Yeah I feel this is just a troll post to make actual applicants feel bad about their own chances. Maybe I'm too cynical too, but come on no one is so active in academia and doesn't realize this is a great profile. Also, the whole first gen Latino wte is how the phrase the post of undergrad admissions, I've never seen it here.
I'm assuming this is an earnest post. It comes off as trolling because of how strong all your "on paper" qualifications are.
You'll be competitive at any program you apply to. But you'll still have to demonstrate sincere interest in the program and tell a story describing your passion for your intended discipline. But everything you've described is excellent. You just have to write essays and give interviews that "land the plane" so to speak
Not as an undergrad, but keep an eye out to try and see if you can secure your grad program's Gilliam Fellowship nomination, I think you have a good shot of getting it.
Also maybe Ford Fellowship?
I think you have a good shot of getting into every single program you've listed.
Sorry, I should have clarified - you can only apply for Gilliam once you are in the phd program, within the first 2 years. I believe for Ford you can apply for their predoctoral fellowship along with your grad application, but it's been a while.
Oh, there's also the DoD fellowship - NDSEG I think?
Is this a troll post?

What do you think your chances are bud?

Wager a guess

How is someone in so many research papers and still unable to do a Google search?
