Hi
I’m in the us, and I’m researching colleges here. Your entry “Rankings According to GPA Required” was the only site i could find that ranked colleges based on GPA. Is this the average GPA of incoming students? Also, do you know of a website or source were I can find the required GPA for any school, not just the 126 listed?
I noticed the GPA was out of 5.0. Mine is out of 4.0. Do you know of any conversions, etc?
Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

hi i am from coe pune and our college implemented the absolute gpa scheme for grading
now while applying should i ask college to convert my gpa (which is 7.4)into percentile or anything else..?
it also happned that some student got E grade in some subject
which is held fail in US and
so his application was rejected inspite of having v good gre score……… so what should steps to be taken to avoid that?
Mandar
I have mentioned elsewhere in this blog that applicants should submit their transcripts in the original format. Almost every university in America has it’s own experts assigned to evaluate foreign credentials. They have their own unique method of converting foreign credentials. So let the experts do this.
If I have given details about GPA in this blog it is to understand the concept of GPA so that you may select compatible universities.
Let me also inform you that some universities do not have provision for evaluating foreign credentials in that event they will ask you to get your tranccripts evaluted through some agencies. This will cost you some extra money.
My suggestion: avoid applying to these universities.
Good Luck

i did my BE ECE… 2006 passed out… working for an IT company now…
i have got 900 (Q – 640 and V – 260), AWA – 3… Acad – 68%
can i go ahead and apply for univ ?? or should i write again??
if i can go ahead… to which univ can i apply???
Srini
With your decent 68% academics I would suggest that you take GRE again provided you are confident that you can score around 1100.
This effort will get you a good university.

Hi!
I completed my Bachelors degree in Engg (Electronics) in July 2006 from and am currently working as a Radio Frequency Engg for a nationwide Nokia – Siemens GSM Project.
I have an overall decent academic record from high school. My undergrad GPA was 3.56/4 and GRE score Q800+V630 AWA 4.0 … along with a decent statement of purpose , if I get two recommendatio letters from my college professors and one from the National Manager of the GSM Project, what would be my chances of getting into the MS program in Electrical Engg at a university like UC Los Angeles, USC or UC San Diego? or for that matter, which grad schools should I realistically apply to, I wouldnt kid myself applying to a place like Caltech or MIT with less than remarkable grades and no research publications to my name :) …

Good credentials.
You have a decent chance of being admitted to UCLA and UCSD.
A good chance for a admit to USC.

In the meanwhile contact the professors working in your field.
Do not forget to apply to some more universities as well.
For Fall 2008 your application must go by November/December 2007.

Yes you should surely attempt for top universities provided you are able to secure strong recommendations and write a forceful essay.
Your strategy should be to apply to 3 top universities,2 middle rank universities and 2 three tier universities.

Hi!
I graduated from a US university with a 4.0 GPA in the field of graphic communications. In my field, i have hit a dead end and want to enter management. I recently gave GMAT, scored 650. Just because i graduated from a very unconventional field, i do not have a clear idea what do i need to specialize in. Also, i am not sure of the universities i should be applying to.
I was thinking of doing international management, but i am not sure what kind of work will i be doing after graduation.
Please advice.

I have completed BE in Chemical Engg. from Mumbai University with 61.4% in 2002. Mumbai university calculates this degree percentage based on 3rd and 4th year marks. I had 2nd class (along with backlogs) in 1st and 2nd year of BE. After that I completed MTech from IITBombay in Chemical Engineering (through GATE in which I had score 98.14 percentile) in 2004. I got 9.25 GPA in MTech. From 2004 till date I am working in Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (Dept. of Atomic Energy). I have 4 paper published in conferences (one in international and remaining 3 in national). Yesterday I appeared for GRE and got 1040 (Q-680, V-360). Can u tell me do I have chance in getting admissions to Nuclear Engineering in good universities (or even moderate) with good schol. / assistanceship (as I am married I need good schol. to sustain ok life). If I stand good chance then only I will prepare for TOEFL.If so do I need to take recommendation from present office boss also Along with profs. Of IIT.

Some American universities do have a bridge program for candidates deficient in their undergraduate degree. Look for these.
A post graduate diploma can qualify you for a MBA . So can the completion of the 2-years Master’s degree.

International management is a growing field especially in this ‘flattened world’ where all economies are integrating with each other.

Mr. NBS
U am waiting for ur reply of the query which i asked yeterday
Stud
With your credentials you can get admission provided you select universities prudently.
No doubt your GRE score is not compatible with your other credentials. However, this can be overcome by your research experience.
To be on the safe side you can consider taking GRE again. For better universities a score >1300 will be desirable.
If you cannot re-take GRE apply to a few safe universities as well.
To be considered for assistantships apply to PhD program.
Good Luck

Please help me to shortlist 8 universities from the above list.
Karthik
Thank you for the clarity of the question.
It is a pleasure to promptly
attend to specific questions providing full details.
Karthik you have good credentials and you must take some risk. apply to UC-Berkeley.
Out of the universities you selected UWash,Columbia,Gtech require reconsideration in order to save cost of applying.
If you can afford it I suggest you apply to all.
I am asking you to apply to USC as a backup.
Now about the applying strategy. Although you have written that you want to apply for MS I suggest you consider applying for PhD as well for financial aid shall be forthcoming if you are admitted to a doctoral program.
Out of these universities select 6 which are your second choice and you will go there only if you do not get admission to any of the other 7 schools.
Apply to these 6 for a PhD program with a stipulation you will go to these only if you get full financial support.
To the other 7 schools apply for a MS program but do ask for financial help from them as well.
After you get the admission decision decide on where you want to go. Ofcourse financial help should be your primary consideration.
Good Luck
NBS
Thanks a lot NBS for your prompt reply.
>Out of the universities you selected UWash,Columbia,Gtech require reconsideration in order to save cost of applying.

Hello NBS,
thanks for your reply.
Neeta
You did not mention your percentage in B.Sc neither I am aware of your research interest.
However, you have made a reasonably good selection of universities.
Be aware,availability of funds in a MS program is very limited. I have written in ample words in this blog about the financial aspects, please read the articles.
For admission to a PhD program your essay must demonstrate your research interest which should be correlated with a professors research in these schools.
Good Luck
NBS
Hey NBS
u did not tell me abt. “whether i need to take any reco. from present office boss for phd admission (as i have spent 3 yrs in my office)”. Also One more question “if i take GRE exam once again, only my new score will be considered or old one also. will it be averaged.”
my gre score 1040
quant 720,verbal 320
awa not yet known
btech (ece) 70%
willing to pursue MS in the following
california state university
IIinois institute of technology
michigan state university
Stevens institute of technology
If no chance of getting into these, will you please suggest some colleges.
I am willing to pursue MS in Electrical & Electronics Engg.
Mr. NBS
can u answer my yesterdays queries
Stud
You seem to be very impatient. It takes me some time to reply.
Yes you need to take at least one recommendation from you present employer since you are working for some time.
Remember this should be from your immediate boss or a colleague who has a regular contact with you.
Also the recommendation should be specific about your work and not vague. Preferably it should be related to the field of study you are applying to.
Since you are applying for PhD I suggest that you take two academic recommendations from the professors who have taught you.The same conditions about the quality of recommendations apply here as well.
Regarding your GRE score there are different norms being followed by different universities.
Some take the latest score into consideration and some consider the highest scores.
There are others who total up both the scores and consider the average. However I have observed that majority of them consider the highest scores for reviewing the application.
You must check on this from the schools where you intend applying.
A point to be noted is that you must attempt for GRE test for the second time only if you are confident that your score shall improve.
Good Luck
NBS
Hari
Which Cal State Univ ?????.
However I suggest you attempt one from the Cal State Group.
You can apply to IIT and Stevens as there is a reasonable chance to be admitted to these.
If you are daring and wish to take risk you can go for MI State as well but is difficult. Some people are lucky try if you want to.
You have not provided your TOEFL score. Remember there is a TOEFL cut off score for each university. Please apply only after checking on this.
Good Luck

Your GRE score is compatible with the requirement of the universities you mentioned.
Since you have not mentioned your academic grades I cannot give a considered reply.However academically if you score around 70% your chances are good to be admitted to the universities you mentioned.If you score between 60-70% your chance for admission is decent.
Good Luck
NBS
Sundeep
You have decent grades and GRE score.With your research background and published papers you will certainly get admission in PhD program.
Please research this blog and you will be able to locate the universities where you should apply.
Once you send the names of the universities I will be able to help you by suggesting your chances of admission to these.
Good Luck

Sudharasan
Sure you can get admission.You have not indicated your academic score.
Look for safe universities in this blog.
You must make sure that every university (even a safe one) has a cut off score for TOEFL,GRE and Academic percentage.
Find universities which are compatible to your scores.
If you send me the names I will help you in deciding the universities where your application should be submitted.

You can certainly get admission.Make a research proposal and get in touch with professors of the schools you intend applying.
Since academics,GRE and TOEFL are done with you should now concentrate on the other factors :
1.Selection of compatible universities.
2.Contacting with professors with similar research interest as yours.
2. Getting great recommendations.
4. Essay or Statement of Purpose.

If one applies for a Ph.D., and assuming after completing their Master’s, is not able to do that due to some unfortunate circumstance (financial or otherwise), will they forfeit their Master’s degree too? Or will they be able to retain the MS? I’m asking this as I don’t want to lose everything if some eventuality happens to me after I start my MS-Ph.D.
Sonam
Before you apply to any of these schools please verify the minimum requirement of TOEFL. Details are given in this blog.

American Universities are offering PhD in three modes:
1.Direct PhD and no MS is available during the process.
2. MS degree is offered while doing PhD after the completion of required credits.
3.You can join MS initially and then opt for PHD after it’s completion.
It is the first option you must be worried about.
If you are getting some stipend or assistantship for completion of your PhD the university may not allow you to drop midway after MS.
Good Luck

I have very poor acads in my Engineering till my third year(47% or so). However, my final year shows a marked improvement taking my final year scores to 60%. But I have one paper left as a KT (backlog) in the seventh semester, because of which the eighth semester marksheet is not released (although I have passed it). The backlog results should be out in Feb. Now, when I apply to some colleges now, they would not see the improvement I have exhibited in the fial year. Instead, with the marks available till 3rd year, would they directly eliminate me or would they wait to get the entire BE marksheet to get the ull picture? I am asking this as some colleges have deadlines of February. Ideas anyone?
I forgot to add that my GRE score is 1390 (V:630, Q:760) with TOEFL 116/120.
Hi,
I found your website to be informative. I wanted some advise for Fall 2008 in the US. I plan to pursue MS in Computer Science.
My background
6yrs of relevant work experience.
GRE Quants – 740
GRE Verbal – 550
GRE writing – 3.5
Toelf – 270
UG BE in CS – 72% Final yr. 65% aggregate.
I applied to few univerisities for the spring session Virgnia Tech, MSU and cornell. I was not successful.
I now plan to apply for Fall 2008. I would appreciate if could advise me on target universities for my background. I was under the impression that my work experience will boost my application and so was targetig good schools, now I am not quite sure about it
Thanks for your time.

Your GRE and TOEFL scores are decent. However with 47% in academics for the first six semesters it will be difficult to apply in a decent university.Let me tell you that most of the universities expect above 60% grades. However there are some which will consider 55% academics also. Even if you get 60% in last two semesters it works out to 53.5% for 8 semesters.
Here is what you should do:
1. Your first concern should be to find schools willing to accept lower academics.Keep in mind each university has an academic cut off score and you should only apply to schools which are coming in your radar.
2. Secondly work out your grade percentage for last 4 semesters and if it works out to be above 55% then your situation is salvaged a bit for there are schools which consider last four semesters grades.Find these out as well.
3.In my experience no decent school will substitute academic grades with a GRE score as such do not assume that a good GRE score will suffice for a poor GPA. However since your GRE is decent try convincing the admission committee about circumstances your circumstances which forced you to perform below your capability.Tell them about it in your essay keep in mind that it should seem to be a genuine reason.Perhaps this works for you have been showing improvement in your academics in each semester and have done well in GRE.
Now about your application to sent before February.If you had good academics I would have suggested that you apply without the last years transcripts for there are some schools who conditionally accept a candidate without the last two semesters transcripts. However your situation is different and under the circumstances I suggest that you do not apply without your last transcripts.
There are schools who accept applications till May or June try them.
Good Luck

With your academics,test scores and experience I fail to understand as to how you missed the bus.
Choice of the schools,essay and recommendations may be the reasons.
Did you get proper recommendations? Since I do not know the type of work you perform I cannot suggest specifically.However if you are doing relevant work then two recommendations should have been from your supervisors. The recommendations should have highlighted the point that inspite of your six years Sabbath from academics you are still into computer science. Good recommendations are specific.
Similarly essay should be specific and detail the reasons for your rejoining academics after six years.
Now lastly the most important point – the choice of universities where you last applied.
Michigan State University although not highly ranked is notorious for low acceptance rate.Cornell of course is another class where your academics do not permit you to apply.
I am surprised about VTECH people do get admission here.
Your strategy for Fall 2008 application should be: Apply to a few safe universities,some with a decent chance of admission and some top ones where you will be admitted only if you are lucky.
Please keep in mind that almost all top schools ask for or recommend CS GRE subject test. Do not apply to these for your application shall not go beyond the preliminary examination unless you intend taking the test.
As a policy I do not suggest names of the universities.There is enough data available in this blog please go through it and select the universities.
If you send the names to me I will help you by suggesting your chances of admission.
Good Luck

Arizona University???
Is it Arizona State or University of Arizona?
My only comment about the universities selected by you is that all of them are very ambitious.
That is good for then only you will strive to bring out best in you.However select three safe universities as well.
Further take action on the following:
1.Get recommendations from present supervisors or people under whom you are conducting research.If they are some authority in their field of research so much the better.
2. Get recommendation from some well known IIT professor with whom you have worked.
3. As most of recommendations are vague I always suggest that some specific instances of your capability
be cited in them.
4.Also find the professors, in the universities you have selected , with similar research interest as yours and write to them bringing up the subject of working under them.
5.What was your position in class in both BE and MTech if it is worth the mention get a certificate to the affect from the authorities of each of the institutes where you studied.
6. Lastly write a strong essay citing specific research done by you.
Good Luck
NBS

Your GRE is decent. However academics are not very good.I presume 6.4 GPA not to be 64%.
You will get admission if you opt for schools matching your credentials.
Do the following
1.Select schools of middle and low ranking only.
2.There are universities which accept low academics so go for them.Every university has a minimum requirement on this. These details are given here in this blog.
3.Also match your TOEFL score with the minimum required by the university.

Hello. I am applying to universities in the USA and I have a small problem. When in my college, I had presented a total of 5 technical papers in techfests and presented seminars too. I have the ppt’s of some of those, which I can convert to PDF’s, but have neither hard nor soft copies of 3 of them as I seem to have misplaced them. These three are however very significant and I want to mention these in my application, as I feel they would showcase my extra-coursework activities/knowledge, while stressing on the fact that I am very keen on the course I plan to take up.
Would it be wise to mention these in my applications as achievements? Would the colleges ask for the original copies alongwith the degree certificates when I arrive there?
Thank you so much (in advance) for your response
Rahul
I do not feel original documents will be demanded.
If you can arrange for some sort of proof that you had presented the papers it will help.May be some of your professors are aware of these presentations you may get these mentioned in your recommendations.
Also write a synopsis of the paper and provide this along with your application.
Another good thing would be to create a blog which carries the synopsis of your research papers. It may also detail your other relevant interest.
This blog should be without any frills and must look a professional but simple.
Good Luck

Is there any chances of getting Assistantship in masters in civil or construction and management or transportation engineering in these universites or i’ve to give GRE again.
Texas A & M university.
IOWa State university
Oklohama State university
University of albama at Huntsvill
North carolina State university
Subhash
There are two aspects to your question :
1.Whether you will get admission in the universities you named.
2. If you get admission whether assistantship shall be offered or not.
Let me begin with answering the first question.
Reasonable chances of admission:
Oklahoma State
University of Alabama at Huntsville
Difficult but try a few. You may be lucky
Texas A & M
Iowa State
North Carolina State
The above assumes that your TOEFL score is acceptable by the Universities.Verify the requirement of TOEFL before you start the application process.
Assistantship is a dicey subject.I have written enough about financial help in the blog.Please read it.
Sitting in your home country it may be difficult to get financial aid how ever when you reach USA there are ample opportunities to meet your study costs.
Good luck
