How to Apply Successfully to STEM PhD Programs

Here at Accepted, we're getting more and more inquiries from applicants interested in PhD programs in the STEM fields, so Linda Abraham has invited a panel of Accepted consultants to discuss PhD admissions in engineering, life sciences, and STEM. The panelists - Karin Ash, Dr. Barry Rothman, and Dr. Herman "Flash" Gordon - discuss what PhD programs in STEM typically look for in applicants, including academic achievements and research experience. They emphasize the importance of research experience, publications, and presentations in the application process. The panelists also discuss the role of rankings in selecting schools, the importance of finding the right faculty advisor, and the significance of the statement of purpose in the application. They provide advice for interview preparation and offer insights for re-applicants and international applicants. In this episode: 02:11 When we talk about PhDs in STEM, we have a very broad topic. What will most STEM PhD programs want to see in applicants both academically and experientially? 09:08 We've been talking about what PhD programs would like to see in applicants. What should applicants be looking for when they're choosing a program? 13:05 What should be the role of rankings in selecting schools? 14:53 Does it make a difference if an applicant sees their future in industry or in academia? Do PhD committees care in the STEM fields? 17:52 What's the difference between going for the master's first or going directly into a PhD program? 21:21 What if someone did poorly in undergrad and let's say works for a few years, either in a lab or just in industry, and then they decide they want to return to school and pursue a PhD? Is it possible, or have those poor undergrad grades killed their chances? 23:37 What is the role of the statement of purpose in PhD admissions? 29:41 What is the role of funding in the application process, or does it come more once you're accepted? 30:54 What are some of the other distinctions for international applicants? 33:03 Who should applicants seek as recommenders? 34:06 What advice would you have for interview prep? 37:05 It would also be advisable if you know who's interviewing you maybe to read some of the recent research, wouldn't it? 38:33 Do you have any suggestions for re-applicants? 39:53 What do you wish I would've asked you? ❓Applying to a PhD program this year?
