Any UBC International grad out there...escpecially in Physical Science..(Phys. or Chem.....I need some info ....plss leave a msg..or reply in this topic ...

thanks hbgrad...any idea how good selective is UBC accepting in Ph.D .....compared to top US public universities ??

plss...if there is anyone who got accepted for Ph.D in Chemistry or any natural sc. subject (Physics, Biology etc.) specially International student......plss reply HOW SELECTIVE IS UBC FOR ACCEPTING STUDENTS IN CHEMISTRY ( OR NATURAL SCIENCE ) ?? PLSS MENTION AMOUNT OF RESEARCH EXP REQUIRED , AVG. GRE SCORE, AVG. GRADES, AVG. TOEFL SCORE ETC. ....

I am applying for Ph.D in chemistry (not M.S) Firstly, I am an international candidate and selection procedure for int. applicants is strict than domestic applicants. GRE: Verbal - 660, Quantitative - 750, Analytical Writing- 3.0 (writing score is a blunder) TOEFL: 106 out of 120 (speaking - 23 out of 30) Sub GRE(Chemistry) - haven't appeared yet, will appear Nov. 2011( expected score around 75 percentile..can be more though) Research exp. - 5 months(thesis submitted), worked in theoretical phys. chem....expected a publication soon,within couple of months Grades: 8.73 out of 10 ( decent grades keeping in mind grades given in M.S level in Indian universities) Field of interest: Theoretical Physical Chemistry Letter of Recommendations: good LoR's, rather receive an excellent one from my supervisor Rate my chances for -- a. University of British Columbia b. Clemson University c. New York University d. University of Missouri will apply for Fall 2012

At present got rejected at three universities....U Wisc, Maryland, G.Tech......no updates from Texas A&M ( taking it as a rejection).....only Stony Brook has officially waitlisted or rather they are saying they are still reviewing my app...... so preparing for next year app.....and looking for applying to safe universities according to my research interest ( theo. phys chem.), scores and grades...... dats why lookin 4 suggestion.......... so anyone have some safe university suggestion ???

as I did my undergraduate thesis on theo. phys. chem ( specifically molecular dynamics simulation), as of now my research interest would be molecular dynamics simulation, focussed on biomolecular simulation (using AMBER/CHARMM package)..... another thing is that here in India we have a full semester of research project, with only minor amount of coursework. So, its like doing a 5 month of Ph.D work...only research, nothin else . At the end of that few guys might get a publication in a decent international journal. For my case, my work also might get published in ' Journal of Molecular Liquid' (Elsevier),an average international journal as told by my supervisor. But all these again depends on my supervisor [ JUST HOPING IT GET PUBLISHED BEFORE DECEMBER] So now u guys can suggest ???

I was asking just looking for few suggestions----- that with my GRE/TOEFL score range, grades and research experience 4 safe universities to apply for.....just wise suggestion....I just dont wanna spend my time n money applying in unreachable grad schools or schools where there is say 50% chance of getting admitted even with good fit in terms of research interest....... And for that research interest thing...I have time to think for (about the subfield ----experimental or computational)... it definitely would be physical chemistry ( I did my undergraduate research in phys. chem).....within the phys. chem domain I have 2 think ....and yet again THNK U 4 replying....

I am applying for Ph.D in chemistry (not M.S) Firstly, I am an international candidate and selection procedure for int. applicants are at least 5 times more stringent than domestic applicants. So guys, please suggest widely. 2ndly, plzz suggest me 4 safe schools (98 % chance of getting admitted) after reading my scores, grades, field of interest, research exp. etc. THANK YOU in advance. GRE: Verbal - 660, Quantitative - 750, Analytical Writing- 3.0 TOEFL: 106 out of 120 (speaking - 23 out of 30) Sub GRE(Chemistry) - haven't appeared yet, will appear Nov. 2011( expected score around 75 percentile) Research exp. - 5 months(thesis submitted), worked in theoretical phys. chem Grades: 8.83 out of 10 ( decent,not excellent grades keeping in mind grades given in undergraduate level in Indian universities) Field of interest: Physical Chemistry (not decided whether experimental or computational) Letter of Recommendations: will not get excellent LoR's, rather receive decent ones. PLZZ GUYS SUGGEST WISELY 4 SAFE SCHOOLS (98% CHANCE OF GETTING ADMITTED).

I mean if they havent contacted me yet......am I still in the picture...do I have at least 5% chance of getting admitted ??

Guys....I am frm India...nd applied to grad schools (Chemistry Ph.D) of Wisc, Maryland, SUNY-Stony Brook, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech....got rejected at Wisc, Georgia Tech....its April 17 th and havent got any decisions frm Maryland, SUNY-Stony Brook, Texas A&M....am I waitlisted there ?? Do graduate schools actually waitlist applicants ?? I am already very confused...plzz help....if I am waitlisted, thn whn will I receive a decision ??

...its april 17 th...and havent got any decision frm Texas A&M, Maryland and SUNY-Stony Brook...got rejections frm Wisc and Georgia Tech...btw I applied for Ph.D Chemistry....guys ne idea whts goin on..is there still a hope??
