kingsdead Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I'm thinking stuff like the Peace Corps, etc. Would doing something like that be looked at as a good thing by PhD programs? Or would it be looked down upon for being an indication of not being focused enough on stats/biostats? Or would programs pretty much ignore it and treat it as a two year gap? Asking because I'm in such a program right now and have no clue how that will impact my chances (if at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stat Assistant Professor Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Adcoms will most likely ignore your volunteer experience. It won't look good or bad. cyberwulf and kingsdead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
