Hi all
(1) I am a first-year student in a joint MA/PhD program and was wondering if I select I am pursuing a "MA" or "PhD"?
(2) As a first-year student, would I put my undergraduate GPA or my anticipated first semester GPA?
Thanks
Register as pursuing a MA or PhD?
Re: Register as pursuing a MA or PhD?
1)Apply for your highest degree level you'll have before your planned full time work start date. Also request the scholarship for the entire duration, don't expect an extension.
You get a slightly higher stipend if you're a PhD and it will change your starting salary.
2) I would put the undergrad one as you'll be asked to submit a transcript if I remember correctly. I think they also asked for a current semester one so they will end up with both.

Thank you! #2 is a little disappointing since my first semester GPA as a graduate student will be 4.0 while my undergraduate degree GPA was only 3.29. But I think my research and experiences will carry my application so it should be fine.kbl2017 wrote:1)Apply for your highest degree level you'll have before your planned full time work start date.
