Hello all and thanks for reading my question.
I am a graduate student (PhD) at university of southern California (USC). I study civil engineering here but the department is not very good in civil engineering and I wasn’t able to get any funding from the department. I would like to apply to better schools but I have one problem which is my undergrad grades which I did in another country. (it is 14/20 which is average). How ever my masters GPA is very high (3.98/4) and the courses I have taken here were very tough courses. I also have a good GRE score. Do you guys think I can get into a better school bases on what I said or just continue what I am doing at USC?
