  1. I have quite the conundrum. I recently graduated with a B.S in Biological Sciences with a measly 2.86 overall GPA. Ultimately, I'd like to purse a Ph.D in Microbiology and Immunology. I, however, understand my GPA will be immediately given a red flag and possibly tossed in the rejection pile. If possible, I'd prefer not to waste the application, transcript and w/e else fee applying to graduate programs comes with. Applying to a masters program and actually getting in is possible, but majority of these programs are unfunded. After viewing my loan repayment plan, I am in no position to take on a plethora of additional, perhaps unnecessary, loans. I'm aware a lot of those who have underperformed in a undergraduate setting become a fulltime research associate for 2-3 to increase their chances of acceptance. I'm currently studying for the Biology Subject exam and plan to take the exam Oct. 2015. I'll be taking the Revised General GRE in November. Deadlines for FALL 2015 for majority of the masters programs I've looked at are either Dec. 1st or January 15th. I have about 1.5 years of research experience and am currently a volunteer in the same lab. I've also wrote a grant proposal and was rewarded the grant as an undergrad. Should I look for a research associate position or apply for a masters program? Any feedback is welcome, no matter how harsh. Thanks!!
  2. I am currently an american student and I was thinking of getting a masters degree in another country after I earn a B.S degree in biology. I,however, would like to eventually return to America for a Ph.D. In microbiology. How would this masters degree in a foreign country effect my chances at the Ph.d I'm America?
