really dont know, man. future is uncertain - as it looks. some saying that my GRE is good so i should apply to some good universities while others are saying that i have a low chance even in the low class universities. whats ur GRE?

You can try applying to a few good universities, but simultaneously apply to a few safe universities as well.

Either way, the universities would not know that the topper of your class has 3.99.

difinitely they would know that topper scored 3.99. That is written on my transcript.

That's bad man.. There is no such thing written on my transcript.

**akshay** · 08-01-2012 11:33 PM

its written on ur transcript? thts weird....and well its this way, ur gre may help salvage ur case, but it would still be tough...some univs (like UTD for example) "appear" to favour UG score over GRE...while others give lotta imp to gre....my advice is tht u still try anyway...dont ever give up in the begining..no harm in trying right? BUT be ready to get rejects (thts how u already seem to be talkin)...

Its a matter of a few thousands of rupees. am ot saying this money is less. its quite a substantial amount! (for me it was). but still, if ur keen on it, give it a try...

u've nothing to lose. Like nishant suggested, make a good miz of safe and moderate unis. dont try ambitious ones....beg or even threaten ur profs o gv u good lors where they highlight ur "research potential"...(the idea is tht a persin with good research potential need not score high in exams but still would be great at research work).

Also, somehow write a heart wrenching SOP. U can definitely make it! loads of less deserving ppl do it. so can u

ALL the best!
