BE BRAVE.
An early senior researcher said to her early in career:

She was rejected from each medical school she applied to, except Geneva Medical College (upstate New York). The dean and faculty, usually responsible for evaluating an applicant, were not able to make a decision due to the special nature of Blackwell's case. They decided to vote
They put the issue up to a vote by the 150 male students of the class with the stipulation that if one student objected, Blackwell would be turned away. The young men voted unanimously to accept her!
Thus, in 1847, Blackwell became the first woman to attend Med School in the US
