Something that I have been thinking about a lot is that I started to take IM courses late and to be honest, every time I think about grad school applications, I feel like I don’t have enough projects or experiences that make me a competitive candidate. I was wondering whether it would be better for me to take some time off to work on my own projects, build up a stronger portfolio and then apply or if I should just shoot for the stars and see if I land on the moon.
