Graduate Students

This community is for and about graduate students. You can be in any kind of degree program in any subject, anywhere in the world. I hope we can all lend advice, support, and so on in this difficult time known as higher higher education...or "why do we keep putting ourselves through this?". If you have a problem with a member, contact a moderator. Don't spam, delete, or troll.


Regarding graduate school applications

Common questions about grad school (such as regarding GPA, GRE scores, funding, SOPs, etc) should be asked in applyingtograd. There are graduate students who are there to answer your questions. All gradstudents members who are willing to help prospective graduate students are encouraged to read or join applyingtograd. If you absolutely must post your application question here regarding your GRE, GPA, SOP, funding, first check the Applying FAQ tag. Furthermore, please put behind an lj-cut in order to help out our members who don't have the time/willingness/energy to answer your question.

Specific questions such as regarding program X or university Y are fine. An lj-cut for these questions is highly recommended unless the post is short. Use your discretion.
