dw3000 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So I will be starting my MSc in UK in October 2015 and graduate July 2016. So, should I apply for grad school in the states or even in UK on December 2015? Or on December 2016? I am afraid that if I apply on December 2015, I might not have enough time to know and get my professors to write my recommendation letters. What if I haven't had an exam or a transcript yet by the time I apply? Despite so, I would really like to enter PhD by end of 2016. However, if that is not a wise choice, I would apply on end of 2016 instead. Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleene Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I was in a similar position last year, with my MSc from October 2014 to September 2015. I ended up applying to stay at my current institution in January 2015. That was before I got any results back. The first term's results became available a couple of weeks later and were used in the applications process anyway. Had I not gotten in, I might have applied to some European programs with later deadlines or taken a year out. I was not decided about that yet. Many course mates have ended up taking a year out anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleene Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Btw, Oxford allows you to reuse recommendation letters. I got one from my course supervisor, and reused the three from last year (MSc admissions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
