<p>hi,
I have completed M.Sc. Biotechnology with a cgpa 4.88/6.0. I wish for a phD in biological science.
My undergraduate (plant biotech) course percentage is 76.
I have a year of research experience and two merit scholarship awards for my academic performance (one in undergrad program and the other in senior secondary school).
GRE score 1220 (V-540; Q-680; AW-3.0) :cry:
toefl score 99 (r-28; l-23; s-24 and w-24)
I have also completed a post graduate diploma course in bioinformatics.
My M.Sc. dissertation project was at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-M).
I have registered for the gre in subject.</p>
<p>2 thesis projects
Spearheaded an exhibition at undergrad.
organized department cultural program.
Been a Cadet (National cadet corps) for one year
scrub society member - two years</p>
<p>I am applying for the fall 2010 intake. PLEASE do tell me my chance for a PhD in biological science (biochem, molecular cell biology, physiology, dev biology) at florida state univ</p>
<p>For any reasonable read on your chances at graduate admission I really suggest you visit the department you want and consult with faculty in your areas of interest. You may present exactly what the department needs and youād be āinā or merely competing with other applicants.</p>
<p>friend, thank you for your reply and I am in the process of contacting the professors.</p>
<p>Good luck! Please let us know how it works out for you.</p>
<p>I can see that IIT-Madras is an elite school, Iām sure that will work for you.</p>
<p>sureā¦ friendā¦can you please suggest me some universities (though, i am not sure if this is the right thread to ask)???</p>
<p>Frankly, your specialty is far afield from my area, so I suggest you ask the faculty at Florida State. They would know.</p>
<p>oh yes, out of anxiety, i did not think if you are in the same field. Thanks anyway friend. I will contact them.</p>
<p>Hey, i would try and get your GRE up a little bit and you will have a good chance.</p>
<p>R u from India by the way?</p>
<p>hi satscholar, yes, I am from India. Deadline for many universities are nearing and I have also applied for the subject GRE. So I think it may be difficult for me to take another try. Moreover, I fear if my score would decrease. Having a Master degree in the relevant field, will my application be stronger or compensate my low gre score?</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Have you joined the INSAT group yet? I think you would get a better chance me response there because about 95% of them are people who have been in your position before and are now graduate students here. Let me know if you want more information.</p>
<p>hi, may i know about INSAT group please? I am unaware of that.</p>
<p>hey, yes, i searched for thatā¦ it is Indian Students Association of Tallahassee.</p>
<p>hi i think the group is for those who have been already selected for a university at floridaā¦
Anyways, thanks for your saying about the group</p>
<p>Not really, you can join to get more information, you donāt need to be an FSU student.</p>
