Hello


Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. I appreciate your take to PhD level abroad. You are already qualified to the initial stages of doing a PhD abroad, as you hold a Bachelors and Masters degree as the minimum requirement.

In principle, if you are considering for a PhD admission at the USA Universities you are required to follow up these steps:
  • Get your scanned copies of certificates and transcripts right from 10th, 12th, Bachelors and MSc level preferably in a PDF format. If you could also get the copies attested by the respective institutions, it will be of a great help.
  • Write a personal statement - This statement should explain you as a person with interests, career ambitions, why PhD, why particularly Cytogenetics, do you like to explore on any topic in detail as part of your PhD and why so, and finally why do you like to study particularly at that university.
  • Obtain sealed two recommendation letters. These letters should be obtained from your MSc tutors and typed on the University official headed paper plus stamped and sealed.
  • GRE scores. You should appear for the GRE general exam or subject exam (depending on the university requirement) and obtain the score report. Scan the score report and send it along with the application or upload it online.
  • TOEFL - This is an English language test and you should pass the test with a reasonably high score of 100+ out of 120 to be placed at top USA universities.

So the top USA universities are Stanford University, Harvard University, University of California Berkeley, University of California San Diego, Yale University, Cornell University and University of Southern California.

If you would like to apply for the UK Universities, then you are required to follow the first three steps as said above for USA universities. Apart from this the fourth and fifth steps are different.
  • You dont require a GRE for the UK. This might relax you but you are required to write down a research proposal of minimum 1000 to 3000 words explaining on the topic you are interested to research. The word limit varies with universities but the minimum is 1000 and maximum is 3000. Please check on the individual university website to understand their PhD proposal format.
  • Finally the IELTS test: This is similar to the TOEFL and taking up this test you are required to score a minimum of 6.0 for low and medium ranked universities and a minimum of 7.0 or above for the top ranked. Some of the top UK Universities for this course are: University of Oxford, University College London, Imperial college London, kings College London, University of Glasgow, University of Nottingham, University of Manchester, University of Bristol and University of Edinburgh. Hope this helps. Please write back if you require any further info. Good luck with admissions.
