I'm a masters student working on a project under a PhD student. I'm concerned because it seems like she (the PhD student) gets frustrated with me very often and I don't know why. The project we're working on is running into a lot of problems. When I ask her opinion about it, she gets visibly annoyed or upset, and tells me to proceed with the experiments as planned. I'm not sure what to do, both in terms of the experiment and my relationship with her. Does she think I'm incompetent? Or is she actually upset that the project isn't going as smoothly as planned? Or maybe a bit of both? I should assume that she's frustrated about the research, but I can't help but feel like it's my fault. All I know is that every time she gets upset at me, I lose motivation and just want to quit the lab altogether sometimes. There's an undergrad working with us and it seems like she doesn't get irritated with the undergrad. Maybe it's because the undergrad is also a girl or maybe because the undergrad doesn't think much of it. I know this whole ordeal may sound juvenile, but any help would be appreciated.

I'm in grad school now, but I have an unfortunate undergrad GPA of 3.3. Is it not even worth applying? I heard most successful applicants have 3.7 or better...

LOL. I'm so glad it's not just me. I've been looking up where I'll be going to research and nearby buildings and everything.

I have mixed feelings about Comcast. They're reliable most of the time, but they're more expensive than they should be ($65/month for the cheapest service) and they sometimes have outages for no reason that may last for 12 hours at a time. Then again, they're the only provider I've had so I can't say if it's any better with other providers.

I agree with hasseye. I applied to 13 schools (PhD though) and only got into 2 with a "bad" GPA. If you're serious about doing a Masters degree, you need to apply to as many schools as you can (that you'd be willing to go to, of course). Since your GPA is so low, it's going to be very difficult to get into any of the top schools. You should definitely try applying to low ranked or non-ranked schools. It's your best shot right now if you don't want to stay at that company. Whatever you do, don't give up. There are always schools or other companies that will want to take you if you work hard from now on and show your determination.

erini, you didn't apply for the University Grad Housing?

Tough choice. USC is stronger in Engineering overall, but their students have a reputation of being pretentious and thinking they're "better than they actually are". Brown is a wonderful school, but sadly their Engineering isn't that great. I'd go with USC and just try to dispel the stereotype!

I would definitely recommend Berkeley/UCSF! Their program in BME is the strongest of the three you listed and the names of both institutions are strong as well.

Although I don't know which field you're going into, I would highly recommend Cornell because of their exceptional engineering school as well as prestige. Industry would love the Cornell name over those other schools.

I am going to be entering the BME Masters program at Columbia this Fall. I really really wanted to be guaranteed for a PhD track, but my undergrad GPA was simply too low, so I am currently enrolled in the M.S. only track. I'm sure that it depends greatly on the school and major, but how difficult is it to continue on to a PhD program from a Masters? I know that you have to keep your GPA up during your Masters as well as get in a research lab where your PI would eventually be willing to fund you for a PhD. But is there anything else I should know about? I emailed the prof I want to work with and he said "Occasionally outstanding MS students go onto funded PhD programs, but this is not the normal path and not guaranteed in the MS admission." which made me Any advice?
