I love your area of interest. It attracts funding alot. Which school did you have your BSc? I will give you a list of schools shortly. Note that many applied Maths programs are funded. At PhD level, all are funded. Have you taken any machine learning course before? Are you also good with Algorithms and the use of packages like MATLAB,Python etc. These things are basic entry requirements but these days, everyone in the sciences can code. You will have a lot of choices. I wish you the best in your GRE. Gbengee: 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hello Everyone If you have been admitted to Georgia State University for MS Geoscience with no funding, i will be rejecting my funded offer from the department. pls kindly email the graduate coordinator for any funding availability. It may be possible for them to grant the person my funds. Cheers 9 Likes |

Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by AspiringPHD: 5:08pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
Hello, Please, I need your advice. I have taken GRE twice; First Attempt (V: 147, Q: 145, A: 3.5) Second Attempt (V: 151, Q: 146, A: 4.0) I am greatly discouraged because these scores are not competitive enough. My CGPA is not that amazing either, 3.69/5. I am interested in Msc programs in Cell biology, Anatomy, basically programs in the biomedical sciences field. But from all indication, my profile does not look competitive enough. I have tried reaching out to Professors to at least get some level of assurance before spending money on applications, but the response has not bee encouraging in any way. The biomedical science field seems really competitive, at least for my profile, and I am considering looking at programs in Biomechanics and Kinesiology as well. It is worthy of note that, I can't afford a graduate degree without some sort of funding, so the funding part is important. What would you advice? That I spend the money I have with me now on taking the GRE again (it's heartbreaking) or submit applications for Spring and see how it goes? The only thing I consider as an advantage is the publication of my undergraduate research in an unpopular India journal. Also If you have any suggestion on schools that wouldn't mind a profile like mine, I am greatly open to suggestions. It is my first post, and I hope it will get some insightful response. Please help a confused mind 5 Likes |

AspiringPHD: What's the interval between the two exams? On the bright side you improved, indicating that you can keep improving for a much better competitive score. If you're willing to give it another try, send a message and I can help with some of the current editions of GRE prep material ebooks. For techniques towards improvement, endeavour to keep a log of question types you struggle with and practice more on improving on those areas. Also, don't register for the test before preparing so you don't add more pressure on yourself. I'm also a borderline 2:1 so I understand how i uphill it might seem holding up against competition. Since you cannot change your GPA, focus on what you can do to improve your profile like acing the GRE, and getting strong recommendations and SOP. You might want to consider taking the subject GRE if possible There's an art to contacting them, especially when nothing really stands out about your profile so if it's going to be generic, I doubt there's any program with funding that isn't very competitive and increasing in the no. of applicants. Let it serve as your motivation and take solace in the fact the STEM fields are less competitive than non-STEM ones. There's always that chance for you to get in. Prepare to take the GRE again and see how it goes, aim for fall '20 as well, in-between take up roles like teaching, research, conference etc anything that would improve your profile and application The only thing I consider as an advantage is the publication of my undergraduate research in an unpopular India journal.Don't we all feel inadequate? You'd be surprised how many elite scientists feel the same. Even our brother here with 8 publications and top 1% GPA was quite unsure about his prospects. ![]() Also If you have any suggestion on schools that wouldn't mind a profile like mine, I am greatly open to suggestions.Don't know about schools but you might want to start looking at Gradcafe for funding info with your GPA range in addition to suggestions you would get here. You'll be fine, you are in a good place for insights. Best of luck in your endeavour and welcome. 8 Likes 1 Share |

CptCharlesVane: Thank you so much for this comprehensive response. I will be retaking the GRE. I am not in "haste", and Fall 2020 seems like a long time from now, so giving the GRE before then isn't a bad idea, at least I will be sure I really did my best. After taking the first exam in 2018, I did not practice of actively revising before registering for the second one (I took it last month), and I thought registering before commencing preparation will put me on my toes to prepare, so I set a month of preparation for myself, and that was it. From your response, I believe that approach is wrong, and moving forward I will ensure I am adequately prepared before registering again Again, thank you for the response, and I hope to spend some time here as I gear up for the exam. 5 Likes |
