Open Question: Should I get my Master’s degree in Cellular & Molecular Biology before moving on to my PhD?
I am currently working on my BS in cellular and molecular biology. I currently volunteer in a Heart Disease research lab, by the time I graduate from my undergrad university I will have 2 1/2 years of experience in that lab and my name published on two papers. My current GPA is a 3.5 (which I am realistically trying to raise to a 3.65). As of now I am able to get letters of recommendation from my PI and the two MDs that I work under in my lab. I will be applying for a year long internship through CIRM (California Institute for Regenerative Medicine) where I will work on my own project. This internship will occur during my final 2 semesters; I will continue to volunteer a minimal amount in my current heart disease lab (8-10hrs per week). Assuming that I get decent GRE scores and accepted into the CIRM internship, should I apply directly to a PhD program or get my Masters first?
