Hi, My university in India has a four point scale. My CGPI is 2.67/4 which as per Us standards is not considered eligible in most schools. The minimum requirement on the website is 3.0 for MS(Comp Science). Kindly suggest me of universities that are good and not soo acad centric. My GRE : 1330 (Vocab: 560 & Quant: 770) TOEFL: 115.. I have zero publications .. and 2 and half years of work experience. in IT domain.

@ Tripti
Yes, you send photocopy of all certificates, sports in school days is also fine.

Project Report: Send the abstract ( max 2 pages ) in hard copy.

If you have designed or developed some creative softwares, you can send in soft copy. Hope this helps.

thanks for the info… its very useful. i would like to get some doubts cleared. regarding sending certificates – how recent should they be? i mean, if we played sports and won competitions at school level, will that be relevant to include in the application packet?

another thing about including project reports. do we send them a hard copy? and if we are to send a soft copy – as u said – file in read me format, how and where do we send it?

thanks in advance..

Vibhor,

You can send photocopies of the certificates. No need for attestation.
