Mental Health and Qualifying Exams Survey
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey. We are very interested to see how your prelims/qualifying exams affected you both mentally and physically, and plan on using these results for a future Astrobites Beyond post. We hope that this Astrobites article, supported by the results from this survey, will capture the effect qualifiers may have on graduate students and can be a reference for programs in making future decisions in changes to these exams.

Your answers to these questions will be anonymized and the raw survey results will not be shared publicly. That being said, if there are still questions you are uncomfortable answering, you are under no obligation to answer them. ALL QUESTIONS ARE OPTIONAL.

Thank you again for your time.

If you have any questions, contact us at hwahl16@gmail.com or jcalahan@umich.edu.
