Hey, Do you say Leuven is a good school from the ranking or is it some other reason?

Hey, Can anyone experienced comment on this program? http://www.emtccm.org/tccm-em/ In short, its a Masters degree specialized in theoretical chemistry; I got in with no scolarship ( reserve). fee is ~ 6000 euros. I get to chose between KU leuven; Universite Paul Sabater; U. Porto;Universidade autonoma de Madrid;University of Groningen as one of my co-ordinating institutions. Specific questions : Is one of the above unis recommended ahead of any of the others? What are my chances of getting into a top 10 school for a PhD. assuming that i do well in the course? Thanks

contretemps, The general GRE is compulsory for eth masters as well as in many UK colleges. Which schools did you try?

Unlikelygrad. Yes, i plan to pursue theoretical chemistry. Im sorry i didn't mention it clearly enough. i know! just trying my luck. Since, im getting mixed responses from doing research on the internet.

anyone?

Which universities im aiming for an admission in MSc. chemistry (Tiers based on my choice of programme, not how i rank them) Tier 0: ETH Tier 1 : EPFL Tier 2: KU leuven, Lund , Upsala < great research in the field Tier 3:U.S. Would you be kind enough to chance me? Is it hard to expect an admission here? Some people say admissions are as competitive as in the Ivy league. But i have my heart set for admissions to ETH. I have a chemical engineering degree from a school where eth usually admits 3-4 engineering applicants a year. ( i know this from alumni) GPA 7/10. grades are rather laughable. Gre 800Q, 600V. IETLS - 7 (barely made it Planning to give Gre Chem. Should do well. I have research work in theoretical chemistry. Developed and developing a couple of packages which are actually used in lab.Might end up in my first publication, maybe in the next 3 months (fingers crossed x) AND 1 internship and 2 projects in chem engg. which should not count. No pubs/confs as yet A couple of strong references from reputed Profs in chemistry. My SOP is tailored as to why i shifted my stream AND the skills i have developed over the years to work as a theoretical/quantum chemist. ECs are good but i doubt they will count. So should i keep my hopes up for tier 1?
