Hi everyone,

I am currently a 3rd year undergrad at uni, and I really want to enter a PhD program directly after graduating. I am first gen, and am relatively new to this, so I would really appreciate any advice you may have for me!

What advice would you give to someone like me, given your experience and expertise, in preparing for admissions? What do you suggest I part take in while at uni, and outside of it, to prepare myself for to stand out and be a successful applicant?

As for me, my gpa is between 3.5-4 and I've published one paper as a small contribution coauthor. Other than that, I did a research internship, and made 2 research posters. That's pretty much it from me.

Any and all advice is highly appreciated!

I might sound crazy, but a lot of the engineers I know work in business. And it’s not just my circle too, it’s more like about half the engineers I know and the same for my friends of friends of friends who are engineers.
Now I’m considering it, but where do I start, considering the job market has changed and is more tailored towards the business majors now?
Engineers who entered business jobs (marketing, finance,
, etc) how did you do it and where did you start?
(Also which discipline are you?)

Hey,

I was wondering if there's any restrictions for sitting the AS exams for the first time in October?
I was wondering because I just finished IGCSE and I'm curious

Which field do people tend to enjoy the most? RF, power distribution, electronics?

(And on a side note, which is the best pay 👀)

So I got accepted into a top 25 school, but got a full ride completely for another school that is quite out that range. I'm debating on attending the top25 school (deathly pay, but I got a 20% scholarship (still deathly)) vs staying where I am with the full ride. Both schools offered me a place in the major I wanted, which is engineering.
My question is, for people who accepted the full ride over the top school, do you have any regrets?
And for the people who chose the top school over the full ride, was paying the student loan after worth it, and do you have any other regrets?

I'm thinking about rejecting the top 25 school, because I plan on doing postgrad after my undergrad, with the hope I'll get into a top school then
