Please If I have a clinical experience like an OD, is it possible for me to get admission into a lab based research like Immunology? Even though I took courses in immunology and few lab courses in undergrad but I lack laboratory experience, is it possible?

Hey Casey, when do you suggest contacting professors for PhD positions. Do they read emails during this time(summers) or should I wait till September

Thank you for this Video. I am international student and i am perplexed about writing the statements.

Hey Casey .... How valuable is an MPhil from Australia in the US ? Is it better to have MS or MPhil ? Just want your thoughts on these

FYI - you are making an impact overseas. I live and work in Kazakhstan. I teach English/linguistics at a small college here and hold professional development workshops at various universities. You are one of my references/resources I use when I tell interns, teachers and Master's students about general PhD admissions in America. Keep up the great work!

Please should a low recent publication of a recent PI be a red flag and could he or she be ask about it in case of an interview? Thank you for your good work, I really got a lot of my questions answered.

Hi Professor Casey. Your videos are insightful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I'm a PhD student at Osaka University in Japan.

We need to get rid of tenure in schools....it has to go. No more or no more taxes. Many of the idiots on campus teach nothing.

@CaseyFieslerPhD, Ethics and security should be incorporated in all CS classes. The challenge with ethics may be it's limitations to laws as opposed to cultural, religious, or personal values. Ethics is a part of philosophy. How do people determine moral conduct? Without an ethical anchor, this is going to be a challenge. At my Christian institution, this is still a challenge but at least their is a faith-based place start. However, security must also be incorporated in all CS classes - ethics and security go hand-in-hand. BTW, I will incorporate both ethics and security into the programming courses I teach.

8:51 conveyed it all

Careem or uber deriver earn more than a Phd. Also have freedom of job and timings. I am u r subscriber as well likes your content but the thing is that, I speaks straight pardon me for that

Every professor says it doesn't matter you have published a paper or not But in reality they firstly emphasis on research papers as they need a skillful labour in low budget to solve their own miseries and published their pending work along with your own work

Hi, Casey! Thank you once more! Do you have tips for writing this email specially when you're thinking about changing your topic of research? For example, If I have a MA on a topic, but would be instered in pursuing a phD in a related, but not specifically the one I've already acquired experience with?

I’ll be glad once The Mickey Mouse Club will enter The Public Domain despite the fact that I have to wait at least 26 more years for that to officially happen😐

I like your PI earrings. 😀

I have spent my summer catching up on home repairs and yard work because I will not have time to do them once the PhD program starts in the fall. (But I will still have to rake leaves when they start coming down.) I live about seven miles from the University that accepted me into their PhD program. :)

Very imperative

now I am 15 years old girl. I will be 16 in 5 months and I am in the 11th grade as a student in Iraq. I decided a year ago that I want to become a university professor in the future in English literature, and this is the only job I would never doubt about, and I am very excited to build this. I also hope to travel to another country if I can, but in any case, I am a hard worker and a dreamer, so I believe that I can bear anything for the sake of my dream. Also, I loved this woman very much. She speaks slowly so that everyone understands what she is saying. I hope she continues to create Videos and I will definitely support you

I've just been accepted! I'm experiencing multiple emotions at the same time. 😊

I received my first degree a doctor of divinity from a college that is associated with the church I go to but it's not accredited and then I got a PhD from the University from India but it's also its accredited but it's not going to be recognized by colleges in the United States, is a possible that I could get a teaching position in a College and be a professor. it's not good solid education more important than accreditation?

I get the impression that PhD applicants love the theory, but hate applying it to the real world and dealing with the obstacles. This is also known as real work. They are hoping to make the theory dept while avoiding real work because that's someone else's problem.

Watching this for Phd interview tomorrow.

Hi Casey, I didn't get into any of the PhD programs I applied to so I am trying masters. So I have a doubt . In the US which candidate has a higher chance of getting a PhD admission, a MPhil degree holder or MS degree holder?

You are on point 🎉 great insight. Thank you❤

I’m so glad I found your very informative video! I was trying to remember why we stopped using LJ and this helped a lot. Thanks so much for your work!

Hi

She's not a professor

I can’t explain how helpful and enlightening your videos have been :)

Thank you for your content. Thank you for inspiring me

Thank you for your content

Thanks from 2024!

Thank you for the useful tips. May I ask what font you are using for your current CV? It looks very good.

Thank you for your continued service, I would like to know if it's possible to start PhD journey with research and dissertation without going through the coursework in the US. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your insightful videos, I really found them helpful and informative.

Thank you very much. I found all this information to be very helpful.

What are your views on mentioning academic achievements in emails to potential PIs. Noticed your email template didn’t have such info and was quite short

I’ve been out of college for a year now, and I’m applying to grad schools. Because I was in college during Covid and struggled with my mental health significantly during my last years of undergrad, I rarely had an in person or close relationship with any professors. I got a 3.67 GPA, studied abroad, graduated with honors, was in a sorority, coached for a nonprofit, and was engaged academically and socially, but I know no professors closely enough for them to remember me outside of me being an A student. The only ones I could think of responded that they were too busy to write a letter of recommendation. Im going to keep asking but it’s so demoralizing to be a first gen student with no understanding and very little means of applying for these things after putting in so much work in undergrad. Thanks for the information, I hope I’m able to get my 3 letters.

I have always had a fear of professors. Why? because I have seen videos and heard rumours about them having legal rights to intimidate/bully and verbally abuse their students if they are not meeting their expectations when it comes to school work. Yes, we all had bad teachers in our academic careers, but some of my teachers in high school told me that professors are 10 times more strict that regular school teachers, which caused me to be afraid of them. I know, they are people just like us, but the thing that makes be terrified of professors is their academic freedom and tenure positions. I fear that these stick in their mind and they think they can do anything they want to their students without losing their job. that's a huge reason why I am terrified to go to college. in cinema, television, literature, and other forms of media about college, they would sometimes portray the professor as a bully to the students, which is another reason why I'm very scared of them. other silly stereotypes that I believed in where the fact that professors get annoyed if you ask questions during class, I don't know if office hours are just to ask questions relating to the class or if you need help/tutoring with school assignments or if you need help to study for a test or exam like regular teachers do. I'm not saying your are scary just because you are a professor, it's just that I have been trying my hardest to figure out if professors can act like normal teachers, support wise. for example, caring about students needs and struggles, respecting and being kind to students, offering help with academic work, getting to know their students as individuals, of course, professors are just normal people, but I was always terrified of a person's job title or position because I deeply fear that the person with a very high position like a university professor has the freedom to do anything they want to the student. most college students are very stressed because of the intense and strict pressure their professors put on them based on their academic performence. now I have learned that these scary thoughts I had are not true at all. I hope one day I can go to college and just remind myself that professors are basically teachers with a higher position and has other duties besides teaching. and I will always remind myself that they want you to succeed in your academics, they want to help you learn new things, they want to get to know you, and best of all, they want to see you just being yourself. I know that's not always the case, but it would be very nice for students to have a positive college experience.

Thanks so much!

Thank you very much for this, Casey!

Hi, Casey! Thank you very much! Is a SOP the same as a statement of interest?

Advice for a new PhD. I would say if you plan to work or gain practical experience between a master's and a doctorate. The big thing is to save a little bit of money each payday for your graduate experience. was very helpful for me to have some money to fall back on.

All dogs should be golden retrievers

Our program expects a minimum of a 3.0 GPA to be considered for admission. The average GPA of admitted students is significantly higher. We typically interview ~10 to 15 applicants and accept 8 to 10, based on funds. I cannot recall an applicant that was accepted without research experience. All admitted students are guaranteed 5 years of funding from the program. All admitted students are required to do two to three rotations, even if they are certain which lab they will join. It is surprising how many people who fought against doing rotations end up changing their minds. I selected my mentor based on lab culture. People in the lab knew who to make life in the lab fun. I viewed my thesis research as a way to keep myself busy while I went about the process of learning enough about the field. so that I could make an informed decision about my postdoc.

How do I start my dissertation with a lack of supervisor

Thank you 🌺🙏🏻

Hey , idk if you’ll see this but I’m only20 and I really really love history , I have aspirations of getting a phd in history some day but everyone is talking me out of it bc there aren’t any jobs . I just don’t know anymore lol
