Do you have any connections or are you just dropping applications cold? I can’t remember the exact number, but referred applicants are far more likely to land jobs. That means ask professors who know you if they have any leads, especially ones you’ve done research with. Reach out on LinkedIn to students you know that graduated ahead of you that can vouch for you. Lastly, reach out cold to Penn State alumni on LinkedIn. The cycle is just starting, so don’t be discouraged. Good luck!
