University admissions- Frequently asked questions |
| |
Can i apply for
universities with out taking the GRE/TOEFL tests? |
| |
|
Yes, You can apply
for universities with out taking the tests. But universities
will take decision on your admission only after receiving test
scores. |
| |
I have sent xerox
copies of GRE/TOEFL scores to universities. Still Do i need to
send the scores officially? |
| |
|
Yes, you must report GRE/TOEFL
scores to universities through ETS. Sending xerox copies is only
for fast processing of your application. |
| |
How much early
should i apply to univs? |
| |
| Try to apply 5 to 9
months earlier than the application deadline dates. You would
have chances of getting funding if you apply very early. In
order to get admission into some of the top universities
some students apply earlier by 1 year of deadline. |
| |
Do i have
chances of getting admission if i apply after deadline? |
| |
| Most of the Low
ranked universities won't consider deadlines. You would have
good chances of getting admission even if you apply after
deadline. But this is not true in case of top universities. |

What is GPA? What is my GPA? |
| |
| GPA means Grade
point Average. It is the standard measure of performance of a
student in USA. It is similar to the 100% scoring system in
India. But there is no standard way to convert students Academic
Percentage to GPA. Give a rough value of GPA whenever it was
asked in university application. (If your academic percentage is
more than 80 it is 4, if you have >70-80% it is 3.5, If you have
academic of 60-70% GPA is 3...like that). |
| |
I have heard GRE/TOEFL
scores plays main role rather than regular Acadamic Percentage.
Is it True? |
| |
|
Most of the universities will
consider GRE/TOEFL score rather than acadamics. Because
universities are not able to compare GPA with Acadamic
percentage. Therefore admissions committees Considers
standardized exams, like the GRE, MCAT, LSAT, and GMAT, to make
comparisons among applicants from different countries and
different universities. Therefore if you have a low Acadamic
percentage, it is essential that you try your best on these
tests. Some of the universities like University of Cincinnati
will consider strong academic percentage of a student rather
than his GRE/TOEFL scores. |
