  1. I already have a Master's degree. I want to work in the industry in R&D and most positions I saw require PhD with post-doc experience, that is one primary reason why I want to pursue PhD. While I completely agree about the work-life balance, benefits argument, the pay is usually better in The US. While manufacturing has shifted to Far East, most of R & D is still done in the west. If I apply for a PhD in Europe, should I ask for references from my professors at my previous US university? My M.S. references are now outdated as it's been two years since Graduation. What are post baccalaureate courses and how are they different from Graduate courses? Wouldn't I be required to get admission to Grad school to take post baccalaureate courses?
  2. I was there for 2 semesters. After 1st semester I was put on probation and given one semester to bring up my grades and I did get A in one course and I did manage to get my grades up but not above 3.0 and the dept was unwillingly to let me continue, they said that while I'm a good student, I'm not a good fit for the department and the program. Now I'm more aware of the education system and know what needs to be done and I think I'm better at time-management and juggling many balls together but my major concern is how can I overcome the dismissal and justify it in other grad applications. If I understand correctly in the grad application, I'll have to mention each education institution I attended after high school. Pls help
  3. Hi! I was dismissed from Grad Program due to bad grades and failing to maintain 3.0 I'm an European student and the way PhD is done in most European countries is very different from the US, even after 1 year of PhD, I had not done any actual research or experiments in the lab. All the time was spent in courses which I felt were not directly related to my research and I had to take them as my PI would have it no other way. I lost motivation and my grades suffered and finally I was dismissed. I am still keen to pursue a PhD in the US as the economic and job situation is much better in the USA compared to EU and rest of the world. Pls guide me if I should re-apply and if I would get admission. Thanks
