I'm graduating undergrad in May 2014 and want to pursue a PhD soon. Unfortunately, I was pretty swamped with work and also had this realization sort of late so I didn't have time to take the GRE and get a strong application ready before the December/January deadlines. I'll probably be accepting a job offer from one of a few companies and reapplying after next year. Has anybody been in the same boat? Are there pros and/or cons of being in my position?
