When I applied to MSRP, I came with many insecurities about my language, my knowledge of science, and if I would be at the level of an institution like MIT. From the first day I arrived, there was no room to foster such insecurities. On the contrary, I stepped out of my comfort zone and strengthened my skills.  MSRP gave me all the tools I needed to have an enriching experience in science, as well as the opportunity to meet colleagues that I will remember for the rest of my life.
