PhD application with C+ in the MS transcript

[SoloChemist]

Hi all,

 

I am working on my MS in chemistry. The GPA 3.1 and will graduat on summer or Fall 2013.

I got on the graduate course of Physical Chem C+, and a B- in another course. My Bachelor in chemistry with poor GPA, 2.4

 

Now, I have a chance to retake that Physical Chemistry course and I might be able to get B, not because the course is tough but the professor is bias.

 

Anyway, I am planing to apply for PhD in chemistry, I am sponsored and I don't need a teaching assistantship.

 

My question to you guys, do you think the C+ would be issue in my application? would both the c+ and B- prevent me from continue my education?

I am sure that there is alaways a chance, but I am asking about the common situation.

 

Thank you for your time, and I am glade that a joined such great community

I think it is a very long shot. A B- is basically failing in many grad programs...

Are you trying to continue in the same program? That might up your odds a little.

Good luck.

If you're sponsored then you'll be fine.

I had a C when I applied and my overall GPA was 3.5 though. You shouldn't worry too much.
