Can i ask advice from any i international students who were sucessful at applying for PhD positions? I have a chemical engineering degree with an option in bioporcess and i have participated in numerous molecular biology research postions, hence my desire for a PhD in a Biology field. My gpa is 3.07/4.00, is that what is hindering me, or is it my field of study? what should i do to improve my application? Sorry if these questions hav ebeen asked before, zero acceptances at this point is making me anxious.Thank you
For most international students it is funding not qualifications that hold them back. Generally most full PhD studentships are only available to home students. Look at Funding and PhDs Explained on this site for links and further information.
If you can find funding from your home government or from your own resources and your language skills are good then most universities will accept you.
