this is a wind up, right?

PhD Insurance
G

I am looking to do a PhD in Chemical Engineering, but I would like to know if I am covered by insurance before I begin applying. The reason I am concerned is that I have a history of accidently creating small explosions. During my first degree I accidently blew a hole in a lab wall, and was forced to transfer to another Unviersity where one of my experiements set the lab on fire. As an undergraduate student I was covered for both accidents, so is it the same for PhD students?? If anyone can help that would be fantastic.

Thanks.

Dear Shari,

The Federal Internet Crime Division that knowing sending a virus to an unsuspecting person is against the law. The maximum punishment for such a crime is 3 years imprisionment. I hope that you will consider very carefully the outcomes of your actions before deciding upon such a foolish measure.

Thanks Steve. But I have a friend whose score is below 85. Is she eligable to apply a PhD?

how do they define gpa?

It works on the principle that a GPA of 4.0 (the max) is an A grade, and i think a 3.5 is a B. It might be 3.0 for a B but i cant remember. With 85%, your GPA would probably fall in between 4.0 and 3.5. This is more than adequate for graduate training in the US or the UK.
