Sir? Who are you asking this question to?

I suggest staying in India and doing a PhD, lack of money and not very good grades (as you have stated in your other thread) means less chance of a place.

That is really interesting. Can you state the course and the year of completion?. This way we may know the way forward. I wish you the best of luck as you continue knocking the door of PhD.

You will need to do the GRE exams before you can get a PhD in the USA. You'd also need to take some kind of English test and have a certificate ready so that you can prove that you can work in English. To start a PhD in 2009, you'd have to take the GREs this Summer - August/September I believe. Keep this in mind because while most people will be thinking about PhD applications etc at the end of the year, if you need to take GREs then you have to start thinking about it a *lot* earlier. My understanding is that the US Universities will readily give good funding to good foreign students and the VISA applications are given pretty easily to people with educated background (especially if you can get an MSc).

Now then spanky, I have an investment opportunity you may be interested in. I have these magic beans....
