55. FAQ
I have sent photocopies 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 photocopies is only for fast
processing of your application.
When should I apply to Universities?
- Try to apply 5 to 9 months earlier than the application
deadline dates. You would have more probability to get
funding if you apply early. In order to get admission into
some of the top universities some students apply earlier
by 1 year of deadline.
Making earth little softer
56. FAQ
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. There is an
institution called WES. They will evaluate your
transcripts to calculate your GPA and send the reports to
universities.
Making earth little softer
57. FAQ
Would GRE/TOEFL scores is important than academic marks?
- Most of the universities will consider GRE/TOEFL score rather
than academics. Admission committees consider 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 academic
percentage, it is essential having good test scores. Some of the
universities like University of Cincinnati will consider strong
academic % of a student rather than his GRE/TOEFL scores.
What is Form I20?
- A Form I-20 is a government form that tells the U.S. government
that you are eligible for F-1 Student Status. It certifies that (1) you
are or expect to be a "bona fide" student; 2) you meet admissions
requirements; (3) you will pursue a full course of study; (4) you
proved to us that you have enough money to study and live in the
U.S. without working illegally or suffering from poverty.
