Today we’re talking about how graduate school admissions committees assess applications. I’m Brian from Gurufi. In my 17 years in this field, I’ve helped thousands of applicants earn admission into their dream schools, so I have a thorough grasp of how this process works. We’ll look at the main criteria used to evaluate graduate applications in this post, as well as how they differ from undergraduate admissions criteria.

First and foremost, it’s critical to realize that graduate school admissions committees want applicants who can show they have what it takes to excel in their programs and advance their fields. As such, graduate admissions committees take a more comprehensive and holistic approach than those for undergraduate applications, where grades and test scores are frequently the main focus. Graduate school admissions committees take into account a variety of elements to determine a candidate’s potential, including their academic performance, test results, recommendations, personal statements, and “show me” materials. Most importantly, they care in a hyper-specific way about whether you will excel in this field you’re applying to.

Start with your grades and test results. They do play a vital part in the appraisal process, but they don’t occupy the same primary role they do in, for instance, medical school or law school applications. Because graduate programs are challenging, admissions committees look for proof that applicants have the academic background required to succeed. This often implies that applicants must have an excellent undergraduate GPA with an emphasis on courses pertinent to their desired graduate program. Indeed, most graduate programs will either ask you to provide the GPA for just your major or use other metrics to create their own internal GPA that weights higher level courses, classes you took after your freshman year, and classes that are relevant to the grad program. Also, though it’s becoming increasingly rare, a lot of programs demand that applicants take standardized exams like the GRE. In theory, these exams give admissions committees a tool to compare candidates’ intellectual potential and prowess… but in reality they’re mostly used to weed out applicants in the initial phases of evaluation. As such, the fact that you have a strong GPA or test result does not ensure admission.

Another important element in the review process is recommendations. The potential of a candidate for graduate study and research is something that admissions committees are interested in hearing about. This often implies that candidates must provide letters of recommendation from academics or other experts who are familiar with them and can vouch for their qualifications. A candidate’s talents and prospective contributions to the area are highlighted in strong letters of reference, which may also offer insightful information about the applicant’s character and work ethic.

The evaluation procedure also considers personal statements. The chance to demonstrate one’s personality, interests, and ambitions, as well as to argue why one is a suitable match for the program, is provided by the application. Statements that are well-written, considerate, and show a good grasp of the school and area are what admissions committees look for. Good personal statements demonstrate that the candidate is devoted to continuing graduate education in their profession and that they have a strong sense of purpose.

Last but not least, “show me” materials are also quite important in the evaluation procedure. This comprises essays, publications, writing samples, articles, presentations, lab work, and other work related to the graduate program. These resources offer verifiable proof of a candidate’s potential and exhibit their capacity to advance the field. For instance, a quality writing sample might highlight an applicant’s analytical and critical thinking talents, while lab experience can highlight their research capabilities. For students who might not have a great academic history or test scores but who have other experiences that illustrate their ability for graduate study, “show me” materials are especially crucial.

Non-Academic Positions for STEM PhDs in Science

         Here at Gurufi, we love working with STEM Ph.D. applicants. Compared to social science or humanities Ph.D. applicants, STEM doctoral candidates have in mind a diverse array of goals for what they aspire to do after earning their degrees. Indeed, one of the superpowers of a STEM PhD is that you have a lot of options after earning your degree. STEM PhDs are in great demand across a wide range of professions and sectors, and they frequently have excellent financial prospects. Here, we will examine the various options and also the possible lifetime earnings of STEM PhDs in a variety of vocations.

Academic Careers: Many STEM PhDs choose to work in academia as professors or researchers in colleges or research facilities. Despite the fact that academic salary can vary greatly depending on the discipline and the institution, tenure-track professor positions can provide steady pay with yearly increments and prospects for advancement. The National Science Foundation reported that in 2017, the median pay for full-time, tenure-track academics in the disciplines of science and engineering was $96,000.

Careers in Industry: STEM PhDs can also work for organizations in industries including biotechnology, engineering, and computer science. In 2020, the American Chemical Society found that engineers with PhDs in industry earned a median income of $136,000 while chemists with PhDs in industry earned a median salary of $130,000. STEM PhDs frequently command greater compensation and more senior positions within their firms as they advance in their careers and accumulate more expertise.

STEM PhDs can also act as consultants, offering knowledgeable counsel to companies and organizations. The typical pay for management consultants with PhDs was $139,000 in 2021, according to statistics from Glassdoor. Consultants can frequently demand even larger fees as they gain more expertise and establish their reputations as experts in their professions.

Science communication is a developing subject that includes explaining difficult scientific ideas to a broad audience.

STEM PhDs can work in a variety of scientific communication positions, including as writing, editing, and generating material for media outlets or for non-profit or governmental groups. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2020, the median pay for writers and authors was $67,120. The pay scale might vary greatly based on the position and sector, although skilled scientific communicators frequently earn greater income.

Science Policy: STEM PhDs can also work in scientific policy, utilizing their knowledge to help make decisions about the environment, health, and other topics. Jobs in science policy are available in the public sector, the nonprofit sector, and the commercial sector. Science policy analysts made a median income of $95,000 in 2021, per Glassdoor statistics.

Intellectual Property Law: STEM PhDs can work in the field of intellectual property law, defending people’s and companies’ rights with relation to their intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights. The median annual salary for attorneys in 2020 was $126,930, according to statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, while many attorneys made substantially more money.

At Gurufi, we have nearly two decades of experience in helping people earn admission into competitive graduate programs. As a result, we understand just what a complicated and fraught decision it is to pursue doctoral studies. When people are considering whether to pursue a Ph.D., one of their main concerns is whether, at the end of their long training, there’s going to be an academic job for them. Relatedly, if they don’t get an academic job, will they be able to find gainful employment of any kind? Well, the answer to these questions is sort of a good-news / bad-news situation. First, the bad news. As we’ve covered before, people often overestimate their post-graduate school prospects in academia. The long-story-short is that it’s pretty dire for humanities PhDs. Only half to 60% of Ph.D. students seeking a tenure-track job will get one.

The good news, though, is that even if you cannot secure a tenure-track position, there are options available. The assumption is that these fallback options often make than people in other professions, but is this truly the case? Here, we will examine the lifetime incomes of PhDs in the humanities, both in academic and non-academic work tracks.       First, let’s define what a doctorate in the humanities is. The wide category of humanities includes disciplines like literature, philosophy, history, languages, and cultural studies. Years of education, research, and writing are frequently required to earn a doctorate in these subjects, and the process culminates in a dissertation that adds something new to the field. In short, becoming a Ph.D. requires that you demonstrate intellect, focus, hard work, and creativity. Thus, it’s not a surprise that you’ll end up possessing skills that make you attractive on the job market.

 

Academic Career Path

 

A tenure-track post in a college or university is a typical career route for humanities doctorate holders. The American Association of University Professors estimates that a full-time faculty member made an average income of $94,837 in 2021–2022. Yet, this figure might differ significantly based on the institution, the field, and the region. For instance, research university professors often make more money than their counterparts at liberal arts institutions. In addition, as compared to STEM fields, humanities fields often have lower average incomes.

The job market for tenure-track posts is an additional issue to take into account. Not every PhD graduate will be successful in landing a tenure-track post since the academic employment market can be quite competitive. In reality, just around 25% of PhDs in the humanities land tenure-track jobs, according to a Chronicle of Higher Education survey. The route to tenure may be long and uncertain for those who do land a tenure-track job, with many elements that are beyond their control.

 

Non-Academic Career Path

 

While obtaining a tenure-track post is frequently the objective of humanities PhD candidates, this is not the only possible career option. A rising number of people now understand that PhDs in the humanities have significant abilities that may be used in a variety of occupations outside of academia. Among these professions are:

Nonprofit industry: Numerous non-profit organizations need someone with good research, writing, and communication abilities, including museums, cultural institutions, and advocacy groups. These roles, which sometimes entail conducting research, writing grants, and creating instructional programs, might be ideal for those with PhDs in the humanities.

Publishing: Humanities PhDs have extensive writing and editing experience, which is helpful in the publishing sector. Editorial jobs, marketing, and sales positions are all possible careers in publishing.

Government: People with a variety of talents, such as research and writing, are employed by the government. PhDs in the humanities can work in fields including public policy, international relations, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Education: Although many humanities PhD candidates want to land tenure-track positions as professors, there are additional chances to teach outside of academic institutions. For instance, those with a Doctorate in English could find employment as English teachers in high schools or as instructors in community colleges.

Consulting: Companies that provide consulting services frequently seek out candidates with great research and analytical abilities. These professions, which might entail performing market research, evaluating data, and designing strategies for customers, may be a good fit for humanities PhDs.

 

The Georgetown University Center for Education and the Workforce reports that the typical annual pay for humanities PhDs employed in management, business, and finance is $121,000. The typical annual compensation for those working in the media and communications is $96,000, while the median annual salary for those working in education and training is $81,000.

It is vital to remember that, despite the fact that non-academic career paths might be profitable for humanities PhD holders, they frequently call for extra education and experience beyond the degree. For instance, people who work in publishing might need to develop their writing or editing skills, while those who run charitable organizations would need to develop their grant-writing or fundraising skills.

 

Job Type	Average Salary	Estimated Lifetime Earnings
College Professor	$78,464	$1.5 million
Non-Tenure-Track	$52,500	$1.0 million
Adjunct Professor	$2,700/course	$810,000
Publisher	$68,000	$1.8 million
Journalist	$50,000	$1.5 million
Public Relations	$60,000	$1.8 million
Nonprofit Management	$70,000	$2.1 million
Education and Training	$81,000	$2.4 million
Media and Communications	$96,000	$2.9 million
Management, Business, and Finance	$121,000	$3.6 million

 

 

 

Lifetime Income

 

It is crucial to take both academic and non-academic career paths into account when estimating the lifetime earnings of PhDs in the humanities. The biggest income potential may be found in tenure-track posts at research universities, but many humanities PhDs may need to look into other professional options in order to make ends meet.

 

The Georgetown University Center for Education and the Workforce found that humanities Doctorate holders who work in education and training make an average lifetime income of $1.5 million. Median lifetime earnings for people in the management, business, and financial sectors are $3.3 million, while those in the media and communications sector may anticipate earning a typical lifetime income of $2.2 million.

 

Earning a Ph.D. can be one of the most meaningful -and even fun!- processes of your life. And, doing so with the knowledge that you have career options on the other side can be genuinely comforting!

In our last video, we talked about how to brainstorm and generate content for your personal statement.

This video builds on that exercise, so make sure that you check that out before watching this video! The personal statement is one of the most important -and stressful- parts of a graduate school application! You have limited space to state your case for admission, give a sense of your perspective and values, indicate how you’re prepared for this immense challenge, and describe why you’d fit into the culture and intellectual mission of the program. Though it’s certainly different than other kinds of essays, your personal statement ought to be well-structured, convincing, and logical.

Here are some pointers to help you arrange your personal statement for your doctoral application:

(1) Begin with a compelling introduction… but avoid gimmicks over too much emotionality. The best way to do this is by using storytelling. Once you establish how and why studying this subject in depth is important to you, it’s easier to provide a clear indication of the aim of your personal statement as well as your goals for the Ph.D. program.

(2) Remember that grad school admissions essays are fundamentally different than undergraduate admissions essays! The purpose isn’t to show that you’re zany, quirky, or have lots of personality, it’s to show that you’re ready, mature, and prepared to study this particular subject at a high level. As such, emphasize your research background and / or your familiarity with the field. : Your experience and knowledge in research should be highlighted in your personal statement. Describe how your research efforts, publications, or presentations have prepared you for a Ph.D. program using concrete examples. Be careful to include any research interests or areas of concentration you may have.

(3) Similarly, your essay needs to have a laser-focus on your preparation within the particular field. As such, emphasize your academic successes, such as honors and awards, and describe how these successes show that you have what it takes to be successful in a graduate program. Moreover, make sure to list any pertinent courses you have completed and discuss how they helped you prepare for graduate studies.

(4) Lastly, your personal statement should outline your professional objectives, including why you want to enroll in the program and what you aim to accomplish with your research. Talk about your long-term professional objectives and how a Ph.D. program can help you reach them. #gradschool #gradschoolapplications

“Academia is a killing field…” On my first day of graduate school, a fellow Ph.D. student who was a few years ahead of me provided this sobering bit of advice. Though I would eventually get a job at Harvard before deciding to do other things, throughout my time at Yale, I felt a deep sense of dread about the day when I would go out on the job market. Whether, like me, you were a humanities student or you studied social science or STEM, the chances of earning a tenure-track position after graduation are quite low. Some stats:

 

• According to data from the National Science Foundation, in 2018, approximately just 22% of individuals who received research doctorates (including PhDs) in science, engineering, and health fields in the United States obtained a tenure-track position within one year of completing their degree.
• In Computer Science, about 35% of PhD graduates obtained a tenure-track position within one year.
• In Physics, only about 15% of PhD graduates did so.
• My old discipline, History, was a bit better. Roughly 42% of individuals who earned a history PhD in the United States in 2020 obtained a tenure-track position within one year of completing their degree.
• According to a report from the American Chemical Society, 20% of Chemistry PhD graduates who completed their degree in the 2019-2020 academic year had secured a tenure-track position as of December 2020.
• A survey conducted by the American Political Science Association found that approximately 53% of Political Science PhD graduates who completed their degree in the 2019-2020 academic year had secured a tenure-track position as of September 2020.
• The American Economic Association’s most recent data on employment outcomes for Economics PhD graduates indicates that approximately 45% of individuals who completed their degree in the 2018-2019 academic year secured a tenure-track position within one year.

It’s worth noting that these statistics may not provide a complete picture of the academic job market, as they only account for individuals who are actively seeking academic employment and may not include those who have pursued non-academic careers or are still seeking employment after one year. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the academic job market, with many institutions facing budget cuts and hiring freezes. This has made the already competitive job market even more challenging for new PhD graduates seeking tenure-track positions.

Overall, the statistics for PhD graduates seeking tenure-track positions are influenced by a range of factors, including the overall state of the economy, institutional hiring practices, and individual qualifications and experience. It’s important for PhD graduates to be aware of these factors and to develop a comprehensive job search strategy that includes exploring a range of employment options both within and outside of academia. This begins the day that you decide to enter graduate school. Be thoughtful and intentional about building relationships, participating in research, trying to publish, attending conferences, and otherwise doing whatever is necessary so that, in 5-8 years when you earn your doctorate, your CV reflects someone who is ready to become a leader in academia. After all, for most positions you are applying for, you will likely be competing against several hundred other applicants.

In addition to these elements, larger economic and sociological changes may also have an impact on how competitive the academic market is. A more competitive market may result from, for instance, fewer resources being available during economic downturns to hire new academics or researchers. On the other hand, when the economy is expanding, there may be more possibilities accessible, which would reduce market competition.

It might seem like I’m trying to scare you out of pursuing a Ph.D., but that’s not the case! I do believe that if you’re passionate about the field, willing to work within it, and have talent, you can make it. But, forewarned is forearmed, so understand from the start that this isn’t like medical school, law school, or getting an MBA: you may not be able to get a job after you graduate. Approach your studies, your relationship-building, and your nascent research career with a sense of urgency because landing a job and building a career after getting your Ph.D. will be an immense challenge!
