Lately, the thought of going into academics and perhaps becoming a professor has tickled my fancy.
I know there are people on this board who are in the academics field, so I’m wondering if you could answer a few of my questions before I head off to see career services at my university after these god forsaken exams are over.
-Marks? 70s? 80s? 90s? What’s needed?
-Should I approach a prof ASAP? I’m currently in second year undergrad.
-How important would research experience be for getting into a science related (I’m in a Biomedical Computing program) graduate program?
And any other tokens of advice would be really appreciated. Like the ups and downs of being a student for another chunk of your life, what research life is like, etc.
Thanks!
