An Extremely harsh condition for Grad Apply
Posted: Mon May 15, 2006 3:27 pm
Hey all,
I am an international student studied in Penn State University for my junior year physics major. I am going to apply for the graduate school over the summer. I have just done the general GRE and subjects test recently. Although, I have scored 2350 on the general one and 990 on the subject one and I think I can get a good recommendation letters from the faculties, the problem is I have very weak GPA from other competitors. Only 3.36 overall( I sucked on the Gen Ed course on my sophomore year but have an average 3.9 on my junior year). And also, as an internation student, it is really harsh to have a intern or research opportunities from the citizenship elegibility. I have tried on the REU program at my univesity but was also hurrdled by the citizenship requirement. After I talked to my adviosr recently, he told me that is the wrong information that did not take off from the webpages. However, it is too late to apply for any research vaccancies over this summer. Now, I am going to apply for the Graduate school. I was so worried about the conditions that I have now. I am worried that none of the graduate school willl accept for these kind of low GPA and non research experience applicationer like me. Can anybody give me so suggestions or advises? I am really dismayed now.
