PhD programs. I have written a majority of original papers throughout my coursework. Just no lab or field research really, I have not gathered an original sample from a population and conducted research on them. I work with a lot of text and theory. Putting different people's work into a conversation with each other. Great, thanks for your input! Glad to feel like I have research experience now Fantastic insight, thank you for your feedback. This is helpful!

1. I have a background in liberal arts and will be applying to other liberal arts programs (cultural studies, rhetoric/communications, gender & sexuality studies) BUT I have no research experience. Will this hurt my chances of getting accepted? Do I mention in my PS/SOP why I don't have research experience or is this of no consequence to the types of programs I am entering? 2. What if, in some cases, I am interested in working with faculty who are not core in the department I am applying to but rather affiliated with that department and core in another (which I am not really qualified for or experienced with)?
