zhtmahtm Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hi, I'm an international student attending a US university, and applying to grad school this fall. I was reading the posts here and realized that many competitive applicants have research experiences from different institutions, honors/awards etc. But personally, I have been only involved in the researches in my school (since off-campus researches, NSF REU programs etc. are mostly limited for international students). I was accepted as a summer fellow in a top institution (not my school) this summer, but visa problems got complicated and they confirmed me a position next summer, but that'd be after grad school application anyway... I'm trying to make a list of schools that I'm going to apply, but I wasn't sure how only having worked at a single institution would affect my chances for different tiers of school. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeruK Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 It will be no problem. Few undergraduate students have more than 1 research experience anyways and it's very common for a grad school applicant to have all their research experience from one place.

serenade Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I also only had research experience from my university but it wasn't a problem in terms of PhD applications. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeee1923 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 All my academic research was conducted at my undergrad institute and that didn't raise any problems for my application cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
