    As a minority from a working class background who’s starting their PhD at Cambridge in October this year, thank you so much for this video and your additional videos! They have helped me a lot :’)

    I needed to hear this. I started my PhD two months ago and you explained exactly what I am going through right now. I am even scared of saying anything in meetings because I am scared I will be incorrect. Everyone on my team started their PhD over two years ago but they are nice people who are supportive and want me to succeed. It's really a bad feeling when it gets to that point where you are always feeling that you are not even among the smartest in the room. Worse of it all is when you are not yet clear about what you are doing in the first place

    I’m starting my PhD this September abroad and I sometimes get REALLY scared thinking about it, even though I wanted this badly for so long! I feel like i kind of wanna run away some days, because i am scared of failing.

      Here is something to make you feel MUCH better! I am 70 and starting my Master’s in September! I work full-time in Cybersecurity and intend to continue. I want to study usable security and how HCI theory can be incorporated into software development to encourage users to make safer choices online. So - starting older definitely happens! Oh - and I’m a woman as well! 😃Best of luck in your studies….!

    Question to the
    community. Is possible to be accepted in a PhD program with zero papers publish at the moment. ? or any advice to be better candidate with no papers ??

    • @NinD46
      @NinD46 3 роки тому +1

      I think it depends on the program. I was accepted without having published anything. My prior research was used as a writing sample to let them see what I wanted to explore in the program.
