Chemistry Grad School?
I am currently in the process of entering a doctoral program in chemistry for a couple of graduate schools of chemistry, and wondered where the admission officers make decisions about the candidates, what they usually look at the most? Education (GPA, GRE) or the experience? I just graduated with a degree in chemistry with a minor in math last I can have a sub par GPA (2.7 overall, 3.2 last 60 hours) and sub par results GRE (in the 50th percentile) However, I have a lot of experience (18 months) while currently working for Pfizer pharmaceutical research and development as an internal laboratory scientist basically testing laboratory with a large amount of chemical instrumentation I have great recommendations, well, a development director, a research director and one of a teacher So im just asking, what are my chances of getting into graduate school, and what admission officers look for more? Thanks!
I think you have a very good opportunity. Depending on the school, you can only view the last 60 hours and GPA to the minimum is above 3.0. Although results of the GRE are sub-par, did better on the quantitative section? For chemistry, that article have more weight compared to the verbal section if the application of chemistry. Experience is a great advantage! With your GPA, the amount of experience, and letters of recommendation that I have a feeling that could get into graduate schools. Grad schools are looking for students with original experiments not only be achieved through the lessons, but also be able to do your own research. If you do not enter the doctoral program, it may be possible it accepted in the Masters program and then you can do a PhD later.
