Question

@NCSUOfficial 

Greetings,
I have a BSc Biochemistry degree with a 3.2/5.0 CGPA from a Nigerian University (English taught 4-year degree).

My questions are as follows:

What are my chances for a direct PhD Programme in Toxicology?
Will English proficiency test be waived for me?
What's the average required GRE score for admission?

Thanks

@Duplexdna Hi Oluwadara, Since the GRE is not a graduate school requirement, rather a departmental one, the department will determine what is considered acceptable scores. The minimum GPA requirement is 3.0 and their program website indicates the average GPA for their current students (at the time of admission) is a 3.3. Note that NC State does not use a GPA converter for international transcripts. The TOEFL scores can be waived based on the exception that you hold a Nigerian Citizenship and you attended a University in Nigeria (countries with English as an official language and the language of instruction in higher education.)
