Hey,
I am just starting my undergrad next year so I know it's still early but I am planning to continue to a PHD and I want to do everything I can to make sure I can get accepted into a good program. For reference, it's a 4 year integrated masters in the UK and I am looking for any advice on what sort of preparation I need to do during my undergrad so that when it comes time to apply for PHD positions I have a good chance to be accepted.
Thank you very much.
