A quick definition of research and development:

Research and development is when a company or business tries to make new or better things by finding new technology or making current technology better. It's often shortened to R&D.

A more thorough explanation:

Research and development (R&D) is the process of creating or improving products or services by discovering new technology or advancing existing technology. It is an effort made by a company or business enterprise to innovate and stay competitive in the market.

For example, a pharmaceutical company may invest in R&D to develop new drugs or improve existing ones. They may conduct experiments, clinical trials, and research to discover new compounds or improve the effectiveness of existing drugs. Another example is a technology company investing in R&D to develop new software or hardware products that are faster, more efficient, and more user-friendly than their competitors.

These examples illustrate how R&D is essential for companies to stay competitive and meet the changing needs of their customers. By investing in R&D, companies can create new products or improve existing ones, which can lead to increased profits and growth.

Thanks! But considering my interview was over 3 months ago and I applied 5 months ago, it's hard to be hopeful. I'm expecting a WL/R I just don't know why I keep missing those waves.

Hey bobcat, take a deep breath. There isn't any reason to stress yourself out if you have three more years of school left. Try your best to get good grades, study hard for the LSAT and that is 90% of the game. during your next few years get close with a couple professors who can write you a LOR and if possible, do some sort of publishing whether that be a senior thesis or for some research. But there is no reason to stress so much right now.

trying to do your best or even a little less than your best is the way to go. sometimes you will work really hard and exhaust yourself trying to get a good result. 3 years is a long while!
