This is my first time and wrote my project proposal in 5 days but still I am hoping to get 95+

I love your attitude, honestly! Good luck

Thanks! what I learn during 23 years of student life ->attitude matters a lot

I wish I could quote this and the last comment you made here. You wrote your proposal in 5 days and your supervisor is such a BOSS? Interesting....in 5 days and you are sure you got over 70...I think you kind of taking the piss a wee bit?

My supervisor is fellow of 5 science academies, and his research group ranked number 1 in EU for consecutive 5 years and number 1 in the world in 2014.

Is there a ranking of research groups? Where can I see it?

Yeap, she said they now expect them next Monday It looks like it's going to be next Monday, or even the Monday after that.

Oh no now I am going to keep having anxiety dreams about this every Sunday!

Did you take 5 different degrees? Or you struggle to write properly? If it is the latter I can imagine how your proposal looks like after 5 days (and how much time your supervisor spent going through it)

What's wrong with writing your proposal in 5 days?! Ok, I admit the tone of the post you quote is a bit over the top, but still...

I wrote mine in 7, because I had some personal circumstances which did not allow me to spend more time on it. I am also pretty sure I have a very decent proposal, definitely more than 70. It depends on how efficient you are at writing proposals. I will totally report my score back to this forum once I hear it.

Also, just curious about how much time you spent on yours. I hear it's usually something closer to 1 month or so.

I spent about two weeks on mine (not writing full time, but close enough) and then another two weeks to have others read it plus our institution has a whole bureaucracy you have to go through with each application.

I'm sure he accounts school time before university into this. I have also taken about 13 years (4 for BS, 3 for MS, 6 for Phd) to get all my degrees.... so my total comes up to 25

Is it weird that I prefer to read about wrong assumptions over the links rather than hearing about the greatness of one's supervisor??

Hahaha, nope. PS. Also, my supervisor is SO much cooler than yours PPS. Sorry, this was too good to let it slide.
