Thank you for your constructive advice. Really appreciate it!

Hi shani. Thanks for your reply. ORS is my only choice, and I do hope it works.

I am seeing light again

In addition, am I eligible for funding by MRC and BBSRC?

Hi people. It's like the end of the world ! After half year graduating from my first degree, I am still in the midst of searching for a funding for phd in UK.

Firstly, I am from Malaysia, and this makes things difficult. The funding for international student in UK is so scarce, I doubt I can ever obtain a scholarship. Most supervisors had advised me to look for a scholarship from my own country. Well, this is even worse, because there's hardly any postgraduate scholarship for us !

I got a Upper-second class for my degree in Microbiology. As I came from an Australian university, Upper-Second falls within the range of 70-79. Now, will that make me a First-Class in UK? I am so confused !

I am trying for ORSAS schemes but I am also unsure I would ever get it (no matter how well I propose a project).

Oh god, I just feel like a failure :(
