Chances for European Master's
Hi everyone! I'm in a very sad situation, please advise – are my chances really that bad?
I'm a 3rd-year student at a good university in Moscow - MEPhI. My major is Materials Science (design of new materials, ML). I want to apply for a Master's degree in Europe (especially Germany and Italy).
My experience:
· 3 years in my university's lab
· 1 year at the Kurchatov Institute (a research center, part of Rosatom)
· A scientific poster and independent research
· 2 internships in China
· A recommendation letter from the head of the Materials Science department at USTC
But my GPA is very low – around 3.1–3.2, and my TOEFL is only ~65.
Will they not accept me even for a paid (self-funded) program? 😞
