Hi all! Still undecided on whether to apply for Fall 2025 or wait for next year, so I'm just trying to gauge my chances and would appreciate your help! I have an MSc and 2 years of experience in the neuropsychiatry sector within the pharma industry, and I'm a bit unsure about whether a PhD in Neuroscience would be feasible for me if I want to keep both the industry and academia doors open. My main concern is that I have very little lab experience, and I have not used many neuroimaging techniques in practice. However, this year I was very lucky to publish my (non-lab based) research on a >100 impact factor medical journal - could this compensate for my lack of lab experience? Or should I try to get more lab experience before applying?

Hi all! Still undecided on whether to apply for Fall 2025 or wait for next year, so I'm just trying to gauge my chances and would appreciate your help! I have an MSc and 2 years of experience in pharma research in industry, and I'm a bit unsure about whether an MPH or PhD would be better for me if I want to keep both the industry and academia doors open - any thoughts? Although I don't have much lab experience I was lucky enough to publish a paper based on my thesis on a >100 impact factor medical journal, so I'm hoping this will compensate for my lack of experience

Hey all, has anyone gotten into Harvard's Population Health Science's Phd without an interview? Their website says interviews are not a necessary step in the admissions process, but reading the forums here it seems like most/all people admitted have gone through an interview...

Does anyone have any insights into Harvard's PhDs in medical sciences or public health admission rates? For context, I have completed my MSc in a related field in Uni of Oxford (got a Distinction for it) and have published 2 papers, one in a >100 impact factor medical journal (was very lucky with that one) and one in a more niche journal. I also have 2 years of professional experience in the life sciences
