I added the 'preparation' tag (which I'm trying to add to a number of relevant questions); I had to sacrifice the PhD tag, which is a bit overused an in this case seems covered by 'graduate-school'

| Aug 1, 2012 at 4:08 | comment | added | user22835 | @mixedmath Too much of a giveaway. I wouldn't want a professor to think that I'm after him just because of the recommendation letters. | |
| Aug 1, 2012 at 3:45 | comment | added | Dan C | One option is to do a masters, then apply again, and try to go to a stronger school for a PhD. In this case, however, I recommend that when you go for your masters you actually apply for their PhD program (as oftentimes masters students are treated a bit like second-class citizens, e.g., much less likely to get funding). And who knows, you may love the school, and stay there for your PhD after all. | |
