Hi,
I have just been admitted to one master's program after being rejected to many PhD programs. I am planning on applying next cycle for PhD also but I realize most of the deadlines would be around early December and I have so many questions.
1. I have invested so much on my current writing sample which costs me one year to finish. If I applying next cycle, I would need a new writing sample. I am wondering during 2-3 months in the master's program, how can I pull off a better writing sample?
2. Knowing the deadlines for most programa are in early December, will my MA transcript be available for my application?
3. My GRE scores right now is 320 but I want to improve it, should I study and retake the GRE before I attend master's program?
4. How can I improve my publications and CV under such short amount of time?
For those who have been applying for multiple cycles and from MA program, how did you manage it, what advices would you give, what do you wish you knew? I am collecting any pieces of advices possible.
Thank you so so much.
