To set myself apart from grad school applicants i thought i'd be a good idea to together a group of fellow prospective student and current student and do my own SMALL SCALE social research project or study. Schools and employers are always looking for ‘experience’ and ‘initiative’. I guess this is my way of gain experience and showing initiative.


Do you think this is a good or bad idea?

P

I'm not sure what you want...?

B

do you think its a good idea or would i just be wasting my time?

M

Would prospective and current students be interested in joining you? What about funding? And what would you do with your results?

It's a good idea, but not really worth it unless you have a tangible benefit at the end of it i.e. a publication.
