Very unlikely it would be a problem. Bring it up after you are awarded the PHD

Hah I've been unemployed since October, so I am sick of relaxing! But I will try and take advantage.

Excellent ideas thanks :)

Hey guys, I am delighted to have secured a PhD in which I will be starting in September.


What I want to know is if there are any tips for preparing for a PhD I can do this Summer?

Cheers

You have clearly met the condition. Don't worry.

OK thanks for your help guys :)

Agreed, do not decline an offer if you have nothing concrete! (unless you don't want to do the project in the first place, that is).

I had an interview recently and i'll hear back soon about it. The problem is that it would be around 1h15m commute from where I will be living with my partner. Is it still worth it? It would be for at least a year (but probably 2) until my partner's situation changes.

What do you guys think? I'd also love to hear from anyone who is doing a similar thing currently. Cheers.

Thanks for your help Jane, fingers crossed :)

I got a qualified only, as opposed to a Masters with Merit or a Masters with Distinction. You would say it was a C. Just missed out on the Merit.

I didn't allocate enough time to write the report/creation of figures. Obviously I know I can fix this with better organisation but I worry that they will think I should have fixed this in my undergrad.

I have a PhD Interview coming up (life sciences). I have a 2.2 and a Masters. I normally would say that I have improved since my undergrad and my achievement of a Masters shows my determination to succeed and improve. However, while my first Masters project was a very good grade (high B), my second project was a poor grade (high D).

What I worry about is if I say I have improved since my undergrad, but then the interviewer points to my second project grade. What would I say?

Thanks
