Before proceeding let me ask you these-
Is your B.Sc. degree worth 3 years or 4years ??
Are you looking to pursue MS or Ph.D or both in Biotechnology ??
Have you given your GRE/TOEFL ?? what are your scores ??

Hello @Shakshi & Amey. Well, shakshi short listing of universities for a particular program is very tedious and time consuming process; as amey asked ur GRE score, so ur GRE score also important but u should refined ur research interest in that university where u want to apply. So fisrt u have to check out it and than go for further process.
Well Amey & Shakshi I have one of doubt and till now I’m unable to clear it so may be u people can clear it. I’m quiet afraid about my education back ground. I think its not impressive to satisfy university’s and VO’s, may be they have lots of questions about it while such person going to visa interview. Well My education back ground is follow.
I have completed…

# 10th with 56.55% in 1997 from Rajasthan Board.
# 12th with 58.62% in 2000 from Rajasthan Board.
# B.Sc with 57.13% in 2004 from Kota University.
# M.Sc with 62.60% in 2008 from Periyar University.

Extra qualifications-

# DMLT with 61.62% in 2002 from reputed institute.
# DISM in 2005 with B+ from reputed institute.(During job)
# Currently pursuing PGDIPR from IGNOU (Jan 2001- Dec 2010 session) result awaited.

I have many of gapes its just due to my financial and personal problems. Here I want to mention all gaps with you my with specific reasons.

# First gape in 1998 which just due to grade improvement during 12th.

# Second in 2002 after completing First year B.Sc( Regular) because I was stuck with financial problem, was unable to continue my study so I enrolled DMLT. That’s the main reason to completing 3 years Bachelor Degree in 4 years. From 2002 to 2006 I joined some of Laboratories.

# After that I went for M.Sc in Aug. 2006 and completed (July 2008) on right time and have one back log in first semester which I cleared in third semester, but after July 2008 I was busy in the preparation for CSIR but unluckily not selected (Dec. 2008) finally in March 2009 I joined one of food processing company on the the post of QC and resigned it in Aug 2009. Then I back to my study for the preparation GRE & TOEFL and wrote my first TOEFL exam on Oct 10, 2009 but the score was not so good and since that I’m working hard on GRE and now planning to write GRE in coming Sep 2010. I would like to apply for PhD (Biotechnology) for 2011 session.

Of course I have gap in every steps but really it was not my fault. I can satisfy University as well as VO for all the gaps because I have valid reason, but sometime I regret myself.

I have 4years work experience in medical laboratory after B.Sc and 7months after M.Sc and 2 projects on my hand (one of summer non thesis and second is final project with thesis). I have one national level training certificate and one best poster presentation certificate.

After all my questions are..
What do you say about it? M I eligible for PhD or not?
I can finish 2-3 mini projects within 3-4 months, so can I add these projects in current CV which I’m going to join in Jan or Feb 2011? Because I think these projects will be enhance my skill and chance to get admission.

Please reply and all comments would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You could also think of applying to BS in Human Biology programs at Michigan state Univ and University of Arizona, Tucson.

Hello all,
I have just completed my b.tech in biotechnology from N.I.T Durgapur with a C.G.P.A of 8.03 out of 10 . I want to do Phd in Industrial biotechnology from USA . I have a six months project in this field . I am planning to give GRE and TOEFL this august.

My question to u all is what are my chances of getting a university in USA for the desired course and what are the good universities in which i can apply. I belong to a middle class family so my main concern is will i get 100% scholarship for studying if i do well in GRE and TOEFL..

Reply

36 Amey June 13, 2010 at 5:48 PM

For getting an admit from well known american university, alongwith academics and GRE/TOEFL, some other co-curricular factors matter.
Meanwhile do you have any research experience at any lab ??
Btw, NIT tag might help you a bit.

The best US universities for an MS in Biotechnology are Penn, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins. However, many universities do not offer a terminal masters program, and instead offer a PhD. The best university for a PhD in a biotech related field is MIT, followed by Stanford.

Hi there, I’m a 3rd year undergraduate Biotechnology student from Egypt and I still have a year in University till I graduate.
I had a training in Newcastle university, UK the last summer in a Biotechnology international summer school.
Since the UK seemed too much to afford for me and since I’m more interested in coming to the US I want to continue my studies in the US starting with doing my masters in Biotechnology and related areas of study like Molecular Biology or Genetics.
so I want to know what are my chances? what do I need to do ? and one important thing which is the financial issues…

HI .. first of all I would like to congratulate and appreciate your efforts in maintaining this blog, and that too with such great professionalism. Secondly I would like to get some guidance from you -

My GRE score is 550 verbal + 800 Quanti + 4.0 AWA. I got 106 outta 120 in TOEFL iBT. My undergraduate CGPA is 9.63 out of 10, & this summer I will finish my B Tech in Industrial Biotechnology. I have done many trainings, presented papers and won prizes in national & international conferences. Currently I am doing a project on Cancer genomics.

I heard that for a really good career (exactly what I want), one has gotta do a PhD (for biotech related fields) So, based on that I have applied to the following univs for a PhD program (THESE UNIVS ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO GO DIRECTLY FOR A PHD PROGRAM, IF THEIR ULTIMATE AIM IS RESEARCH – WHICH IS MINE TOO)

UNIVERSITY CHARACTERISTIC REASON WHY I APPLIED

Univ California, Irvine
Univ California, Davis
Univ California, San Diego (too much california coz its the biotech hub)
Univ Texas, Austin (cheap state)
Univ Colorado, Boulder (good ranking)
Univ Arizona, Tucson (good, cheap state with Indian-type climate)

Another reason why I chose for the PhD program is that the MS progs dont have any significant funding, but it is ‘easier’ to get RA / TA / Fellowship in PhD progs. On the websites, it is mentioned that IF admitted, I will be put in MS prog first, then upon qualifying the PhD entry exam, I will be allowed to continue my work (if I want to) as for PhD

——————————–

Enough of my intro – I would be really indebted if somebody could comment on my decision to apply for PhD programs …. I have seen the details for MS progs in UT Dallas and SUNY Buffalo, but the lack of funding opportunities is prohibiting me from applying to them. Could anyone suggest if I have made a good decision, or should I apply to min 4 MS Biotech courses in addition… I am getting a bit nervous on my choice – coz 99% of people are applying for MS programs only. I have no issues with committing 5/6 years in PhD, unless my financial position deteriorates.

I would be glad if before making up your mind you could have a look at my online CV at

Thanks !

Could you put your thoughts on wht is the minimum eligible criteria for getting scholarships related to MS biotech. I heard that scholarships r provided only when doing integrated Phd. Could you clarify?

Hello Raghu,

This is post is quite helpful. I would like to add a couple more universities here..

1. Penn state University
2. Texas A & M offers non thesis.

Georgetown only accepts students already there. It is an addition to the program.

love the blogs
Cheers
