There is a clear difference in general quality from a paper published in a Cell Press journal compared to an MDPI journal, for instance.
This is not me endorsing the publishers' general practices, however.

Comment on German man deliberately receives 217 Covid vaccinations over twenty-nine months, with no adverse events or strong effect on immune system in ~science
Tannhauser Link ParentNo, I am saying that taking the Dengue vaccine without prior infection makes you more susceptible to severe infection. As N (vaccines) goes from 0 --> 1, the quality of the immune response goes...No, I am saying that taking the Dengue vaccine without prior infection makes you more susceptible to severe infection. As N (vaccines) goes from 0 --> 1, the quality of the immune response goes down. In the linked meta analysis I sent in my first comment, it states that for influenza vaccinations, having 1 > 2 > 0, showing that increased vaccinations can, in fact, decrease ones immunity.
From the start of the paper discussed in the linked article:
Prime-boost vaccinations can enhance immune responses,(1) whereas chronic antigen exposure can cause immune tolerance.(2) In humans, the benefits, limitations, and risks of repetitive vaccination remain poorly understood.
The study is interesting because there wasn't much of a change in immunity in either direction going from a standard dosing regimen to 217 vaccinations.
Addressing your final paragraph: Getting repeated exposures to the same antigen can also enhance your immunity, hence getting a series of 2 COVID-19 vaccinations initially (at least for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines).
Is this a program where the higher ranking schools (that you can realistically get into) will have a drastically better outcome for your goals than the current one? If that's the case I would recommend waiting and re-applying, but, if not, I'd do more introspection about whether the vibe/culture is bad enough to outweigh the benefits of losing out on a year of progress.
