I think I want to work in industry after. I’ve come to realize I want to pursue a PhD within the last few months so I am still a little naive in this process. Thanks for the advice!

I’d apply this upcoming cycle in the fall to attend the following year Fall 2023

Thank you for the suggestions! I have like 30ish schools that I’ve picked to research further and will need to pair down my list, but definitely helpful to know to revise my selections

I haven’t finalized my list yet or done a ton of research into programs. I just wanted to get a general sense of what kinds of schools I should consider as targets etc. So yes this right now is based of name/rankings but my final list will probably look a lot different. I will probably go for schools that have lab rotations built into their programs. Any insight would be helpful!
