How many cycles did it take you? (Question time)

To PhDs and PsyDs and even those in grad school rn:

I have some questions for you: My main question is: 1. How many cycles did you go get accepted?

  1. What’s the highest number of cycles you’ve known someone to take before they’re admitted?

  2. How many publications did it take you to even be offered an interview (and accepted?)

  3. How many years (if any) did you do post-bacc? If you did any, were you in like a clinic/research center with MDs or a university with (psych?) PhDs?

I know every person in every field is different. I’m just wondering on this Tuesday evening haha.
