Ah, the ardous times for us, sub 3 people...
I am an international student, mechanical engineering Ph.D. applicant for Fall 2016 with uGPA 2,83 M.S. GPA 3,31. Both are from the top-tier schools of my country. I was resolute to compensate this uGPA issue with +2 years relevant industrial experience in a prestigous international automotive company as an R&D Engineer. Well, I did. this week I am resigning
-Took GRE twice, scores being 146V 170Q 3.5 AW and 152V 165Q 4.0 AW,
-TOEFL IBT 102.
Well, I applied to 7 schools. I hope I can get a thing. Before application I established contact with potential advisors and added their names in my SOP.
Fingers crossed
