Strange (??) eligibility norms for PhD in US 12 Nov 2013, 19:49

Hi,

I don't know if this has been discussed elsewhere (at least, I could not find it) but I think it is fairly important for people like me who have a three year bachelor degree and a 2 year masters degree

Here in India, these qualifications and some more competitive exams would suffice for a PhD admission but not in US. I just received an email from one my target schools that they DO NOT consider a 2 year full time Master's degree as a compensation for a three years bachelor. :shock: :cry:

By the way, this response has come from one of the top 10-15 B-School globally. I am not sure whether this is the norm. If it is then it implies end of my US PhD aspirations. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Has anyone received similar replies from his/her target institute/s? Thanks
