wha1eve1 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Graduate one year in OSU and 3.5 year in University of Wisconsin Madison Major: chemical engineering GPA 3.18 GRE V148 and Q162 W 3 3 researches with 3 different professors and one 4th author of a communication that is currently under review. I am trying to apply PhDs in chemical engineering of South Florida University Florida state university University of Cincinnati University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Am I realistic? Or should I look for master programs in stead? Thanks in advance. Comments and criticisms are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyraxes Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 A good way to gauge if your stats are in the right range for the schools you're applying to is to look at the Grad Cafe results page. In general, I would say that your verbal score is rather low (could be helped by a good TOEFL score) and your GPA is low, seeing as you're not coming from a top-tier university. No one on this forum knows your application like you do. There is more to applying than stats and publications. If you think you can write a killer statement of purpose and get fabulous letters of recommendation (both of which you should really have by this point) then aim high. Otherwise, it might be a good idea to get a great MS under your belt first. Just keep in mind that a research-based MS is not necessarily, 100% of the time easier to get into than a PhD. Doing well in a research-based MS makes PhD committees more willing to take a chance on you. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
