I had to withdraw my submission in my first year of grad school because a letter writer missed the deadline. I reminded him a day before, but I didn't check the status on the due date, and he was a few minutes late because he thought the deadline was in local time not EST. Remind your reviewers as much as they need and be careful with timezones! | |||||||||||||||

Science as an industry can seem cold and unfeeling, but it is run by people with biases and emotions who will respond to your honesty and unique life story. Also, start work early and, if your advisor is willing, communicate with your advisor often to ensure you're on the right track. | |||||||||||||||
