There's some good advice in this thread, but I'm going to offer another take on #6 here:
The "best" (i.e. most prestigious) program you get into might not be the best fit for you, and you can still have a great career, even if you decide not to put status above everything else.

6) If you are offered the opportunity to do a PhD or a master at Oxbridge, Harvard or Yale don’t thing twice. Go!
7) Smart work exists in academia as well. Just look for it.
8) Paradoxically the pace of innovation at work can be slower in academia than other
businesses.
