Is anyone else applying for DVM/PhD programs this year?
Well as a disgruntled PhD student fininishing up her degree I'd say DONT DO IT. but then again, like I said, I'm a bit biased, tired, and disillusioned.
No imagination: are you doing a PhD in biochemistry? How close are you to being done?
awesome, I really like infectious disease too.
A PhD is tough, I'm not going to lie, but if you REALLY like research, and want to do research its obviously usually necessary. I'm definitely glad that I did one (and am even more glad that I'm almost done with it) even just to find out what real research is really like. It has definitely made me a stronger person. But it has also made me know that I definitely do not want to go into academia when I'm done. I do really enjoy research though...when it works..and I would like to be involved in research in the future but I just know I can't make that my life. I have the utmost respect for those that can though.

can u tell us what ur daily routine consist of as a phd candidate?
Writing Phase:
You have to convince yourself that your DONE. - No: "One more experiment"
And therein lies the problem - or rather, it's convincing everyone else that you are DONE No Imagination - good luck!! Having just come out of that phase I completely relate, but there really is light at the end of the tunnel, and it really isn't the train (I've been doing the Snoopy Dance of Joy for about 6 weeks straight now )
I am applying to DVM/Phd programs this year as well. I am mainly looking at Biochemistry programs. I eventually want to get involved in translational research.
If you're applying this year where did you apply and why? Or if you're applying in the future where are you planning on applying and why?
