I have a MSc degree (merit) from an ok UK university (top 10) and have been applying to neuroscience PhD's for a few months with no luck. Am I basically fucked if I didn't get a distinction or got to like a top 5 university and have internships/extracurriculars? Any anons currently in PhD's, did you go straight in from a BSc/ MSc? what kind of grades did you get? Give it to me straight, I just wanna know if I'm wasting my time.
