    The problem is that if I mention finishing my grad-level coursework, they'll want transcripts. It will be hard getting them from my university...

    Thank you.

    Thank you for such a detailed response! 2) Unfortunately, I've never even seen their previous supervisors and I know nothing about them. 3) AFAIK, they are all PhD students. 4) That's actually a good idea. I'll try that. 5) Neither of them are faculty at the moment. 6) I've never lied and I'm not planning to. I am just worried about how I should explain this situation and about whether I should bring it up. The question you mentioned implies disciplinary expulsion, and my situation is very different...

    I did my BSc in the same institution. I'm sorry if that 'third world' thing sounded offensive. I reallly just wanted to provide some context. I assume I shouldn't mention the fact that I finished my grad-level courses with top GPA? How should I phrase it? Will it be better if I just say that I have 2 additional years of lab experience? Or should I just leave an unexplained 2-year gap in my resume?

    What about industry chemists? Would their rec letters be acceptable? Looks like I'm screwed regardless of what I do, right?

    I had graduated before with my BSc. But, as I said, I was expelled from my master's program.

    To set the scene, I'm from a pretty much third world country, so I guess this story isn't all that surprising. I'm applying to STEM PhD programs in the US. The thing is, I had a quarrel with my research supervisor right before graduating with my MSc. As a result, I was expelled (even though I was top of my class and my thesis was ready). I can't go into details to stay anonymous. I can only tell that the lab in which I was working was beyond abusive. Afterward, I collaborated with some friends and published a couple of papers. Is that OK if I request LORs from them? They are only grad students at the moment. I don't really trust my previous teachers, because it's a small university and all the staff members there are basically close friends. I've been told that the rest of my application is strong enough for top schools. Will this problem seriously hurt my chances? I've read some stuff about it on gradcafe but that situation was a bit different...
