Your profile says you are pursuing MSc in Chemistry, is it true? Many schools in this list dont have terminal MSc plans though. Have you checked with them yet?

For international applicants, your GPA and GRE are not so good. What is your research experience? Have you published? I know theorists from all these schools so if you want to talk in details, PM me.

Oh sorry. I made the profile a few months ago. Actually applying for the doctoral programmes.
