Hi everyone, I have been searching for a PhD for a while now, and finally found one that I really like, and that is in accordance with the research project I recently wrote, and got awarded a small stipend for. So I have two questions for you:
1. How competitive are MSCA (Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions) PhD funding. I was trying to find at least a fuzzy concept of average MSCA PhD fellow, but couldn't find too much information online. Or any experiences. So I was wondering did anyone of you got it ?
2. In your opinion would I even stand a chance as I have finished med school in Eastern Europe with ECTS grade C (which is equivalent to Lower Second Class), but was in top 20/120 students in my class? I didn't get to do a lot of research (only first three years of pre-clinic) as well, but was awarded French government scholarship for one of my proposals.
I really don't feel like wasting time and precious references as I understand that my CV is not really Ivy league material.
Really looking forward to your replys.
All the best to you guys ! And good luck everyone on PhD hunt :)
1. Don't know. I assume competitive. Don't know anyone that has one.
2. Don't know. There might be priority to certain countries? I assume different grading systems are taken into account.
My advice is apply anyway, yes it takes time but you won't get anything if you don't apply for anything.
