I have been reading thru this thread for the past 1 hr and I am amazed to put it lightly. The amount of information about graduate education in US and Canada is breathtaking to say the least. Please I need advice on how to secure funding for an MS Chemical engineering programme in any good US university(which school should I apply to and when to apply). My GRE test score is ; V:159, Q: 165, AWA: 4.0, TOEFL: 106, CGPA: 3.76 on a 5.0 scale (royally screwed it up in sch). My 4th and 5th year were shit, mans was just getting 3.2 till graduation. I somehow feel that has been the archilles hill of my application. Note: I applied to West Virginia Uni, Louisiana State University and University of Wyoming for Fall 2017 but didn't get into any. Please any advice you provide will be greatly appreciate. CC: Scholastica 1 Like |

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: MS or PhD student, Starting Spring 2018, University of Alabama I am looking for a graduate student to work on questions relating to sedimentology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, and/or invertebrate paleontology of Cretaceous-Paleogene age deposits in India. The position is funded using a mix of RA and TA funding, with opportunities for internal scholarships and fellowships. Field work in India is an essential component of this project. Applications are needed by the end of September. A successful candidate will have performed well in several relevant classes like Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Geochemistry, or Invertebrate Paleontology. They must have field work experience, either as part of a research project or through a geological field course, and experience in challenging field locations is a plus. Research experience, good writing skills, and publication records will also be viewed favorably. Interested students should contact Dr. Tom Tobin (ttobin@ua.edu) prior to submitting an application. Students from underrepresented demographics in geological sciences are encouraged to apply #Copied 1 Like |

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN PART 2: PhD student, Spring or Fall 2018, Missouri University of Science and Technology I am looking for a student to pursue a PhD in Geology within the Department of Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering at Missouri Science and Technology. Research can focus on either (1) water-rock interactions in alluvial aquifers, or (2) the evolution of brines in petroleum-generating systems. The position comes with a research assistantship and full tuition waiver. The successful applicant should have prior research experience in the field and laboratory and must possess excellent communication and writing skills. Interested students should contact Dr. David Borrok (borrokd@mst.edu) prior to submitting an application. Applications from women, military veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of other traditionally underrepresented groups are encouraged. #Copied 2 Likes |

jsleekysleeky: When you say you did not get into any do you mean WRT an "admission" or "funding"? I am asking because your GRE, TOEFL and GPA are good enough for most MSc programs in the US. What is dicey these days is funding for MSc programs and there is no hard and fast rule towards securing that. One method people use is to apply for a direct PhD. If you get in, more often than not it comes fully-funded with a good stipend. Another method is to apply for the MSc early enough (Oct of the previous year - in this case Oct of this year) and then apply for GA/RA or TA positions within the faculty or more specifically dept. This method depends on POIs responding and they may or may not respond - it all depends on luck and how you package yourself. The other method is to apply to schools that have a habit of funding their MSc students. Most heavies for some reason do not do that. But the tier B schools are always more likely to fund their MSc students so that is another option you can consider. The last option I know about is when they apply for the MSc, secure it, get the visa and step into the country and school itself then they approach profs one on one. This method usually works in 2 ways; 1) the Profs give you the funding on the spot or 2) they may tell you to chill for a semester so they can observe you and then give you the funding after they have confirmed that you know your onions. Nobody has them totally figured out. I would ask you to search for a moniker named "PonPon". He gave 2 robust posts on getting across to POIs and his method seems fool-proof. When you see it in his past posts you would definitely know and you can use them as guides towards reaching out to POIs. I don't have a long list of schools that funded both MSc and PhDs for chemical engineering but I am sure that Auburn, Toledo (especially for Chemical engineering) and South Carolina did so. If you are patient enough to reach out to students in your preferred discipline in other schools, they may be gracious enough to let you know how available funding is in their school. Their word is good because they would be honest. Another senior on this forum mentioned Washington State to me. You can check them out as well. All the best! 8 Likes 1 Share |

RexCheeng: I saw it on US student visa thread. But info such as this are usually advertised on School's websites. Sometimes supervisors post such on their web page - I have see that once. And if you have friends in schools you admire, they can put ears on the ground for you. A friend once got such offer for me in Canada two years ago, but I didn't take cos I didn't like the research area. Another friend didn't mind and he is there now rounding off. |

Hi guys ! I have been preparing for the GRE exam all along, however, U dont ever seem prepared. What amount of preparation will be enough? Although I sometimes do pretty well in the quantitative but am still not pleased with my verbal. Just did Manhattan test and got Q162 V148. Am scared and still feel am not ready for the exam. What method can I apply to get better in the verbal section? I intend to write next month. Thanks and regards ! |

Scholastica16:Many many thanks for making out the time to write a very very helpful response. I really appreciate it. As per the schools, I didn't get admitted into any of those three schools (WVU, LSU, and UW). From my research, All candidates admitted into the MS Chemical Engineering programme in the aforementioned schools are offered funding. Selected the schools for this reason. Any tips on how to package a strong application (SOP, LORs etc)? Once again, thank you very much sir. I will put the tips to good use. God bless you 1 Like |
