Plus forgot to mention I am applying for a phd in a anthropology department

Hi guys, I am in the process or writing my personal statement and I was wondering what to say about my grades, they are quite uneven, I got a 2:1 psychology, and pass at msc animal behaviour (I would have gotten a merit at masters if there weren't exams, I am very bad at exams but good at coursework), I also have dyslexia and not very sure about declaring it in the personal statement. I wouldn't say that my dyslexia hugely affects me, but have found it motivating, as I exceeded this far in the education system. Cheers

anyone?

Hi guys! I am about to apply start application for phd in zoology/biology/psychology related science, and although expecting a Merit in my MSc and a 2:1 at undergrad, my stats is letting me down, I know how to run all the stats and report them, I just don’t know when to use them, unless directed, and I feeling when applying to do these PhD’s that I am kinda lying to them. The problem I found with stats is that it was ALOT to take in, in such a small amount of time/ plus I am dyslexic, and found is difficult to transfer what I learned to different situations unless directed, HOWEVER when it came to the more specialised statistics I excelled in it (i.e. what I used in my masters dissertation). Right now I am trying to gain as much experience as possible before applying again, as this was the recommendation I got from the two previous PhD’s I applied for, I got shortlisted for both. Basically I am concerned that the stats grades is going to cripple my chances of doing a PhD. Help?

They were animal sciences so biology background, and yes they were both fully funded

Hi guys, I am just about to finish my masters and expecting a merit, achieved a 2:1 at undergraduate, I am seriously considering doing a PhD, I’ve already applied for two and got shortlisted for interviews at both, but both universities said I needed further experience, although I was sad, I did take away from it that least I got shortlisted. Anyway back on the main story, recently got a few assignments back, although the grades were good, the feedback was quite harsh and kinda knocked my confidence so beginning to question whether I am good enough to do a PhD, I think this lack of self-confidence steams from me being dyslexic, but I often dismiss this cause I don’t deem a suitable or a creditable excuse and just conclude that I am not smart enough, especially when I see people in my class doing the work last minuet and getting better grades. I often think that I am able to withstand any personal criticisms, but when it comes to criticisms of my work or my intelligence my thick skin cracks, and I become very insecure about my work. Anyone feels this?
