hey LKS,
currently I am not interested in pursuit the job market. it goes like this, as soon as I finish my MA from a recognisable institution weather is it from UK of USA I likely would rewarded from my country by A) having a job B ) financial award and C) financial support to travel and get a P.H.D that is if I want it.
SO, my main reason I want to have a P.H.D is because it something I always want it from the moment I got into my undergrad school and I know it is not reflecting in my undergrad grades, but imagine that you was on a ship to your promising land and all of a sadden you got lost due to some circumstances I am not ready to mention it yet and the only option in front of you is to get to undergrad college that ranked 8000 and something! luckily I 'revenge' on the education system in my country and applied just out of the honour of the experiment and applied to a university that ranked among the first 50th on the world in languages and got acceptance. I mean from my point of view, if I got acceptance to a university ranked that advance I consider it is a huge jump from where I was!
my question is really simple, Do I have a chance to get acceptance in one of respectable grad school in USA baring in mind that I already have grant?
