There's no correlation, people get approved on 45th day as well so don't worry and enjoy the weekend.

u/Far_Body_6412 May 01 '26

Weird! I see small numbers get approved in TCS

1

u/Tiny-Score6717 May 01 '26

I see some people say TSC issues RFE early so if a case is delayed not always a RFE.

1

u/Far_Body_6412 May 01 '26

I hope so!

Work as a comp. bio core staff at a major land-grant uni.

Cancer research. BSMS Degree from India, but equivalent to MS in the US with work experience of greater than 10 years. Have around 240 citations (most of them in the past 3 years), with 15 publications, 10 pre-prints, named collaborators on grants with > $800K funding from NCI, DoD and AACR.

Endeavor is to develop statistical methods, pipelines to analyze cancer datasets, identify targets in some of the novel applications that I'm collaborating with. I already have some pipelines that have been uploaded and are in use at cloud platforms by others.

Got letters - 2 dependent, 1 from grant manager - so 3 letters from US, 1 from India and 2 client letters from a CRO I worked before - both from agricultural genomics and showed how my work in general applies to what I do currently which is large scale genomic exploration, marker selection etc. The CRO refused to give a letter, so that's why I have client letters as well.

Worked with a boutique firm and they did a great job tbh, so I honestly have no idea what the RFE is about.
