“My IRB cleared on the first submission. Two semesters of dread ended in one email — and I understood every line of the protocol because we wrote it together.”

“Straight A’s for the first time since undergrad, and I worked fewer weekends, not more. Drafts always arrived early enough for me to sound like myself.”

“A preceptor in three weeks after five months alone. Every form was filed before I thought to ask about it.”

“The mock defense was harder than the defense. That was the point. I walked in knowing every question they’d ask.”

“Three revision rounds answered point by point, in the board’s own language. Approved before the term ended.”
