What about doing a PhD in India, then doing a postdoc at MIT or Princeton or whatever? It may just be my personal observation, but I've seen quite a few postdocs at American universities that did their PhD somewhere else. It's not as if non-MIT or Princeton are garbage universities. I'm...

With automata replacing everything in this world, including a lot of laboratory functions, would experimental researchers be obsolete as well, with computational researchers as the only ones remaining? Or am I looking at it too simplistically? I prefer experimental work to computational, but...

Even if I do well? My purpose in doing Chemistry and Physics GRE is to supplement my application and hopefully let them know that I'm not as stupid as my GPA might make me seem. And who knows, I might end up applying to straight up physics programs as well, since there seems to be a lot of...

Thanks. I'm planning to take Chemistry and maybe Physics Subject GRE tests as well to see if they can make up for the GPA. No engineering programs seem to require subject GRE tests, but since engineering involves a lot of those things, I thought it might be helpful to take them and show that...

I have great research experience, letter writers, GRE scores, and have ideas for a good SOP, but I have a GPA of 3.3 in engineering. Is it still worth it to try to get into decent programs (read: Top 30), or should I just give up and head for the industry? Whenever people talk about GPA vs...
