Hey guys!
I have been talking to a lot of people about this, but was hoping to get some insight. Thank you in advance.
I am currently completing my MS in EPI. At this point, I am almost positive that I want a PhD in Epi.
I am contemplating either getting my PhD here (at UW) or applying to a couple other places.
What are your thoughts on going straight into a PhD? The alternative is doing a 1-2 year fellowship, then applying after that. I would love to just get school out of the way and start on my career, but I'm also concerned about being judged for lack of experience when applying for post docs and/or jobs.
Relevant details:
-GPA so far ~3.8
-Will be doing research this summer/next year in addition to thesis
-Came here straight from undergrad
Thanks!
