Was it worth it?

>>69601709
Graduating in June with a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry.

Took five years, worth it.

What do I need to get into a respectable grad school?
My grades are currently not the greatest.

Physics, howdy

>>69601709
PhD in Physics.
Took five years and got paid about 20k a year.

Grades are important, but definitely not the 'selling point' criteria, unless you want to get into a top 10.

Research experience is arguably the most important standard. The more experience the better.

If you lack grades and research experience, you can always go to a smaller college to obtain a masters. You can raise your GPA and get two years of independent research experience.

>>69603065
Sci is probably a better ask, what I've heard is as long as you're above 3.0 it's all about the GRE

>>69603346
Which field mate

>>69601709
Trade school for welding.
L-o-d-s of e-m-o-n-e

>>69603803
III-V Semiconductors

Taking my candidacy exam pretty soon, biochem PhD.

>condensed matter phyics
oh :(((

>>69601709
planning on doing a PhD in neuroscience
any advice?

>>69604074
Most physicists go into condensed matter because it's a massive field, I'm optics/photonics

JD/MBA in May, assuming I don't an hero because life is retarded and I have no hope.

>>69603999
Nice, my PI is known for his work with InP and GaAs nanowire synthesis.

I was too social and popular to get a post gradient degree.

>>69604180
I've heard it's a decent field for jobs desu mate

>>69603567
This
A 3.0 will do for most
Undergrad research experience is very appealing to schools, you have to make them want you in their program

>>69604192
It's quite boring though

>>69604074
>>69604276

Was totally worth it. Currently I'm working on Atomic Layer Deposition of high-k dielectrics on III-V surfaces.

>>69604494
Not at all boring. What is your expertise?

>>69604623
I took some cmf courses in undergrad
