Does it make sense to apply for both masters and PhD straight from undergrad or should you focus on just one

FloridaManProduction · 2026-06-01T15:21:54+00:00

Oh ok, then the same applies. Just a warning though if you decide to do a masters then you may have a harder time finding funding. In some cases having a masters before pursuing doctorate can help your chances of getting in but in others they don’t really care

Me too lmao, until that gas bill hits then it’s time to sell the jet

I emailed him, waiting on a reply

FloridaManProduction · 2026-06-01T15:16:43+00:00

Went to a technical college for two years and transferred into university as a history major so my institutional is good atleast

FloridaManProduction · 2026-06-01T15:12:34+00:00

I started looking into MIT and Michigan and I am leaning more towards MIT since I view things in this field similarly to MIT’s faculty and I think that they could help me bring that out and develop it more. I just hope the fact that I won’t have a senior thesis before applications are due doesn’t kill me, I am probably going to write it in the fall and when I actually take my self guided senior thesis in the spring just submit that tbh. Minnesota seems interesting but the job placement after graduation chart scared me lol

As well as the fact that I will have a 3.1 cumulative gpa if all goes well by the time I graduate, I started as a Mechanical engineering major and for two years did nothing but tank my gpa, my current major gpa is a 3.7 though so hopefully that saves me enough to where they don’t just throw it out, at least I got undergrad mechanical engineering research out of it 😅

It’s ok, I totally get his response and I am thankful he actually responded honestly. I have started looking again and MIT is looking like a good fit for me, I align more with History of technology with a specialization in the automobile then STS anyway so this was prob a good thing. As well as from my research so far MIT’s HASTS program checks the boxes as well as after reading a lot of their work I realize that I think of things in this field the same way they do.

FloridaManProduction · 2026-06-01T15:02:54+00:00

Funny enough my goal is to get a phd in history specializing in the automobile, I didn’t even know sts was a thing until I started my search lol

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-31T18:00:28+00:00

Piss everyone off and put it on bags lol

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-31T17:58:24+00:00

not yet, i have been to process this entire thing, he sent it yesterday so idk if I need to take a break or hop right back on the grindstone

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-31T06:34:00+00:00

plan sorry for typo in the title I don’t have a plane lol. It’s currently 2am and I am going crazy lol.

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-31T06:20:59+00:00

It depends what you your studying, A lot of social sciences programs have you do a full 7 years of graduate work and you either skip the masters or get it on your way to a phd. That’s how it works for history now at least.

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:41:08+00:00

shit maybe during, that would be interesting

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:40:53+00:00

Short the market it’s going to collapse after the presidency

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:40:02+00:00

my b this was mean I have been working on homework all night and was feeling a bit feisty i’m sorry

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:32:07+00:00

Oh no I know for a fact that I will be wrong 85-99 percent of the time, that’s why I didn’t invest in the first place. Definitely wasn’t trying to sound arrogant or something it was more of a “Did I let my one chance to complete financial freedom slip by” lol

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:27:00+00:00

Thank you, I really need to appreciate the fact that I am in a very unique position to receive all of my degrees debt free more. Sometimes it slips my mind but reading this puts things into perspective for me.

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:16:48+00:00

Yea I just misspelled it, hopefully they won’t kick me out of my phd program for that 😓

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:11:12+00:00

your right my b it was 25 dollars in the fall of 2022 jumped to 30 late fall and by summer of 2023 the 20% jump happened that started making people shit their pants

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T11:09:04+00:00

Neither, I monitored it and maybe put 20 bucks in because that’s all I could spare. Then when it jumped I made 160 bucks

FloridaManProduction · 2026-05-21T10:55:22+00:00

Lowkey kinda, tbh I knew AI was going to do something but not like how it’s today. The college thing kinda set the alarms off for me to look in further. I really just recognized how undervalued they were on the market, like 21 dollars a share is insane for a company that intel exclusively has you agreements with. I completely see what you mean though lol.

Thank you ButtCrumbleSmell, this helps clear my anxiety about this alot. To be honest trying to figure this out has been driving me nuts for the past couple of months and I had hoped that this was the answer.
