Dear Bro~ I got 2.88/4 in my undergrad in Chemical Engg from BUET and it's top most uni in Bangladesh. I have done my M.Sc. and I got 4.22/4.5 (~94%) from YU, South Korea. I have a journal, three international and 3 local conference proceedings. Moreover I have 2+ years relevant job experiences. I am preparing for GRE but still I'm frustrated and dubious that whether I can get funding for PhD in US universities. But your post enlighten me. Could you please advice me on university selection for sub 3 UG GPA holder? It would be a great help. Regards, Nuvan

Dear all, This is Masum Jujuly from Bangladesh. I have done my B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from BUET (Bangladesh) holding GPA 2.88/4 and M.Sc. in Process systems design & control in Yeungnam Univ (South Korea) holding 4.22/4.5 GPA. I have a local journal publication and three international conference proceedings regarding on my research (Process Control). I want to continue my PhD in US and I'm preparing for GRE and I'm confident to get 315-320 and I wanna apply for Fall 2013. Although I've a good GPA and research experience in MS but but undergrad GPA is too low. Most of the universities I've seen has a cut-off GPA 3 in undergrad. I am totally confused, since I want to apply for PhD then my undergrad GPA stands for my 'undergrad + Masters' GPA or just only undergrad GPA? I am searching some mid level (tier ii or even tier iii) universities where I can apply for PhD in chemical engineering (e.g. University of Nevada Reno: their minimum admission req is 2.75), but unfortunately I can not find more universities to apply. It's like my undergrad GPA is haunting me like a ghost. I'm totally got frustrated. Is there any list of the universities who accept student's undergrad GPA below 3? Could you please suggest me what I can do right now? Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Jujuly **Thanks 'Starmaker' for this inspiring thread.

Thank you very much for your reply. I'm pasting my thread to yours, hope you don't mind.
