can i get into any grad schools in the usa with a 2.78 undergrad gpa coming from the bahamas?

Yes. GRE is the standard exam and please make sure you have experience in the field. Also have a decent GPA within the field you are trying to go to!

It's really fukked up how these universities hire these Professors who can't speak English worth a damn . The Comp SCI departments are notorious for this .

Your PH D doesn't mean shyt if I can only make out 3 of the 15 words you're saying.


America needs to do better

They don't care and don't have an incentive to care. Profs are expected to research. That is the bulk of their hiring expectations and the majority of the paycheck is dedicated towards it, especially within the sciences. If they have high reviews in their teachings yet low productions in research, they can get fired. Yet the vice versa means nothing.

Within the humanities, you see more of an emphasis on teaching and mentoring.

So fukking ugly. I hated when professors did that. Also this book is a one time thing. When this semester is okay, it is worthless.

21 weeks of school left, not including a one week break. 3.62 GPA as of now, trying to graduate with nothing lower than 3.5.

Been procrastinating like hell, but going to step it up now that I’m basically at the end.
