Hello Everyone.

I need suggestion of universities in U.S.A and Canada that can accommodate a person with
1) 2.87 CGPA
2) TOEFL : 100
3) GRE: Verbal: 146 (28 percentile)
Quantitative: 142 ( 11 percentile)
Analytical: 3.0 (14 percentile)

and also opportunity of sponsorship/funding.

I have a background in Biochemistry and I am interested in any Biological science related courses.

Thanks all in advance.


Hi, (for the US)
Have you tried perusing graduate program web pages for those programs you're interested in?
You might find out that you do not need the GRE to apply. Actually 90per of programs I've come in touch with in the biological and biomedical sciences either do not require the GRE test or have made it optional. Though some of this programs are in the higher end and are competitive.

Your GPA might raise an eyebrow, nevertheless try reaching out to graduate program directors. If you have a peer reviewed research publications or conference presentations, or a very good laboratory experience you could leverage on that, Faculties might still encourage you to apply. Hopefully you did alright in your last 48 credit hours of courses in undergraduate that are relevant to your intended graduate program.

GRE should never be a deterrent to applying to any graduate program (at least in the biological and medical sciences) unless an explicitly stated minimum score is required by the graduate program (and even at that still reach out to them if you are really interested).

P. S most (if not all) PhD programs in STEM disciplines are fully funded (if funding is a concern)
This cannot be said regarding a masters program. You can try applying to some PhD programs, but never apply to a PhD program for the sole reason of getting funding.

Best
