Thanks chrisjah for ur interest.
Thanks sefago. I appreciate the concern of compatriots like you. Paying for an MS programme might pose a great challenge. The PTDF and Shell scholarships you suggested are mainly for British schools; i’ve never heard of any American graduate programme sponsored by any one of them.
A friend of mine will be resuming at the U of Michigan in August (/Sept) for a PhD degree in chemical engineering. We finished from the same school, graduated with comparative gpa’s, and would likely have LOR’s from the same academics. He had a better GRE score though (1510). That was why i thought of taking another gre. But u know what, i’m gonna give it a shot.
I just need some suggestions of (low tier) schools u guys think i can apply to.
thanx.
