  1. Applying next year was my original plan, but right now I'm a bit indecisive about what exactly I want my focus to be. My undergrad work (evolutionary ecology) was a bit different from what I want to pursue in grad school (evo-devo) so I want to make sure I actually like the day to day lab dynamic of that type of research before committing to a Ph.D. program. Otherwise I would have applied straight out of college. Thanks for your input everyone!
  2. I'm receiving enough funding for tuition, it is more SF rent I'm worried about, and the lab I want to join has a track record for taking more than 2 years. I'm from SD so rent would be a non-issue if I stayed here. What do you mean by "it would be hard for you to be recognized outside?" I feel like UCSD has so many active labs that that balances the number of students doing research.
  3. Hello! I was wondering if a Master's (likely 3 years) at SFSU or 2 years of lab tech experience at UCSD would be looked upon more favorably by developmental bio PhD admissions committees. Are they weighted similarly or would a master's be weighted more favorably because of the degree of independent research? How much does university prestige play in? Both have fascinating research topics and potential for publications. Any input is appreciated! Background: 1 pending publication, 2 years lab assistant, 1 REU, 3.75 undergrad GPA, 162/165/5 GRE
