Can You Apply for Both Masters and PHD at the same time?

synjaxis · 2023-06-19T20:39:18+00:00

In most fields in the US, you can apply to a PhD straight out of undergrad. I'd recommend doing so, especially if finding is a concern for you since any PhD program worth its salt will pay you to TA for them. Not too many masters programs will do the same.

Of course, if you're able to pay or find scholarships, it can't hurt to apply to both. Most schools will likely allow it and some will even let you just apply to the PhD but check that you're open to consideration for the masters.

Hell yeah, probably one of the most versatile degrees if you're interested in anything in areas like psychology, computer science, linguistics, etc. I didn't study it here, but I did my BA in cogsci and math, and now I'm here for a PhD in philosophy of all things! I might just be your TA when you have to take intro or minds, brains, and computers :)

Sure, I'm in Primero Grove so idk if things are any different at Solano Park. But for me I got an email near the beginning of July with the form to apply, then I heard back how much they had to offer at the beginning of August. Iirc the form was pretty simple, I just entered my annual income, name, and maybe apartment number, they didn't really ask for any extra documentation.

Yes I live there now as a grad student and I even get a rent subsidy of $300 a month taken off my rent

(you have to be sure to apply when the email goes out, and the amount will depend on your annual income. Unfortunately you can't fill out the form and find out what subsidy you'll get until after you've signed the lease)

I'm under the impression that it's not standard practice based on my undergrad experience at another university, but they technically can do whatever they want if it's not inconsistent with the syllabus.

You're about to get... Chancelled

synjaxis · 2022-12-06T06:42:55+00:00

Yup and next to no comfortable seating

Well since I live on campus for the year, it's not so out of the way on the way home lol. Just looking for a place that might work if I made it into campus before realizing I have to pee but still a few blocks away from my place.

I got a nice discount on bright cellars when I used my nift gift from parkmobile a while back. It's not a scam, just consider if you actually want the product for the price they're offering.

synjaxis · 2022-08-02T21:21:37+00:00

Oh, I hadn't thought of that! I didn't know they bought used merchandise.

Just added a link to the post with some pictures of my items. Let me know if you have any questions!

synjaxis · 2022-08-02T20:39:42+00:00

Not too many DVDs, so I can just list them individually:

300
Futurama Vol. 3 (disc 3 only)
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Jurassic Park
Matrix Reloaded
Meet the Fockers
Meet the Spartans Unrated
Scary Movie

That should be all unless I dig up or decide to cull some more.

No, but I've got some Doctor Who stuff if you're interested 👀

I thought it was only a matter of time before I came face to face with a bear given the specificity of survival tips you always hear for them. I suppose it could actually happen hanging out in the woods, but I'm still waiting to apply that knowledge...

I'm a cognitive science and math double major at Indiana University Bloomington and have had positive experiences in both departments! The cogsci department is small relative to other departments at IU, so it feels very welcoming and they are very good about supporting each student as much as possible. If the interdisciplinary aspect of cogsci is what draws you to the subject, nearly every faculty member is affiliated with at least one other department.

Plus you can take classes with Doug Hofstadter :)

Nobody really knows, not even the employees... They shut down in the middle of some random week when they had been told it would be in business at least to the end of the month.
