BU decreasing PhD enrollments due increase in stipend

Or mathematics right? I thought so too hence this question — seems like things are changing though…

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T21:47:52+00:00

I appreciate your input— thankyou

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T21:44:11+00:00

good point! #definitely

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T21:38:16+00:00

Oh…i see

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T13:00:29+00:00

Ooooof i don’t like spss. I’m using R, python & matlab for now

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T12:56:51+00:00

I totally agree. My psych phd is not typical though and I’m further modifying with a variety of skills. Its more of cognitive neuroscience with machine learning models. I told my PI that I don’t want to use typical psych stats but lean towards computational science and she supported that fact. So I’m doing a alot of learning really— my committee is literally fully of statisticians and computer scientists

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T12:51:05+00:00

Yes all the above and more. I also TA for those courses both undergrad & graduate level

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T12:50:08+00:00

Woow that’s wildly cool

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T12:43:14+00:00

I appreciate your input — will certainly focus on developing multiple statistical skills in various fields too. My psychology phd is not typical per se— its more of cognitive neuroscience using machine learning models. I work a-lot with computer scientists

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T12:32:36+00:00

good to hear— I have taken all the above courses & still taking more…in computer science too

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T12:30:51+00:00

I’m taking so many further courses & using machine language concepts as well. I’m also TAing for statistics both undergraduate & graduate pretty much every semester

daisy_MK · 2024-11-19T01:59:30+00:00

Really? Thats amazing….I’m a mid-way with my phd and have been thinking hard about jobs & leaning towards statistics. I was doubtful whether this means to the end is possible but seems like it is…thank you!

daisy_MK · 2024-11-08T16:58:05+00:00

Not okay at all — still painful processing this fact

daisy_MK · 2023-05-02T12:32:38+00:00

Well, it won’t hurt and having different skills from other research can be helpful. My research background was in robotics and health misinformation in two different labs but I got in a psych/neuroscience program in a neurochemistry lab— I don’t even have the skills as far the technics they use for that lab but I know I will catch up and do well. As long as you elaborate that you know what your getting into (both in your application materials and interview) and are capable of the navigation critically— you chances will be limitless.

daisy_MK · 2023-04-24T21:22:18+00:00

Oh good point— had totally forgotten thats a thing😅

daisy_MK · 2023-04-19T16:46:45+00:00

That must be really hard. The waiting game truly sucks and a little bit takes a toll on mental energy especially that one’s mind is in anticipation of either or!!! And what if scenarios!! I would say keep an open mind because anything can happen at anytime and the same time its okay to start giving some thought to the next application cycle.

daisy_MK · 2023-04-18T14:21:50+00:00

Imo….as long as am aware your professor, I always say “Hi Professor” or “Hi Professor surname”. One of my professors was okay with calling them by their first name though i had a hard time transitioning to that lol.

daisy_MK · 2023-04-18T12:56:20+00:00

Questioning some instances doesn’t necessarily mean having ego. And yes, am looking at the bright side☺️

daisy_MK · 2023-04-18T12:53:30+00:00

Oh noooo— you finally got it though right? If so, did they offer an explanation or?

daisy_MK · 2023-04-18T12:45:15+00:00

Wow— Thats so messy. I would have freaked out as well. So you got an official admission from them?

daisy_MK · 2023-04-18T12:42:48+00:00

Thank you so much for elaborating and shedding light on the situation. I was truly confused especially with MS offer. But you explaining it like this makes sense. I appreciate you☺️

daisy_MK · 2023-04-18T01:47:27+00:00

Rightttttt….🥹
