future_doc Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I heard this program is about a ~10% acceptance rate. Correct me anyone if I am wrong though. On that basis, I (again, lol) would encourage you to do this program first as you might never have this opportunity again. Every side of the issue has been discussed.

kpm Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 At this point, my biggest concern is not accepting the offer and getting backlash from family and references. But I have often found myself in the past making decisions just to appease others (not the right ones). As for age and kids, I realize having kids after 35 increases risk but that is so far from my mind at this point its irrelevant. My career decisions won't be dictated by my biological clock and this is a priority for me. Good points. Lots to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
