How to select and apply to US Universities with an Average Profile?
Comment
I’m doing Engineering in Electronics in 3rd year. I’m planning to take GRE Exam. Can you tell me the procedure, pattern and colleges I can apply. I consider myself as an average student.
Average Student
I’m not sure how you define average student, but for example lets assume a profile for an average student
- Academics – 60 to 70% ( Class Topper – 85% and above)
- GRE – 900 to 1100
- TOEFL – 79 to 80
- Projects – Nothing extra than covered in course requirements
Guide and Articles
- Refer to articles in GRE Page. that will help you to prepare for GRE. Improving your GRE Score is very much possible, if you spend lot of time taking practice tests. It doesn’t matter if you are an average student, if you work hard, you can improve your score for sure.
- Read some of the Frequently Asked Questions about US Graduate School Admission. That will help you understand how to select schools and get acquainted with the process.
- Universities List
Note – If you spend more than 30 minutes studying the articles here in HSB, you can get to know so many details. There are more than 400 articles related to US Admissions and Universities.
Don’t worry about being an average student. Have positive thoughts and see how much hard work you can put in during GRE prepeartion. If you think you are going to score less than 1200, thats the score you can get. Think baig and think positive.

Hi
I have earned score of 1300 in GRE and 93 in TOEFL iBT. But my GPA is 2.45/4. Moreover, I have 12 research projects, 2 papres which are being processed, 3 publications (essays) and 1 patent. How much is my chance to gain admission in US Universities in MS or PhD programs within rank of 600-900?
Hi,
I am finding happyschoolsblog very interesting and informative.
I am pursuing my M.Tech in CSE which will be completed in 2009.
I feel that it was not worth while studying M.Tech here in a mediocre university and I am now very much keen on getting a M S degree from USA.
1. What do you think about me getting an admission in US University despite of me having a Master degree from India?
2. I see in lots of University websites about MS in Computer Science? How do I find what are the other different majors the school offers ? Usually, I look in CS departments for different majors, but most of them have MS in CS ?
3. Do you think getting scholarship in India during M.Tech study and having one year internship experience, M.Tech average of 67% and with good GRE will help me get some sort of financial AID.
4. What aggregate do US Universities consider ? As in my degree certificate of B.E it mentions about class considering only 5th to 8th sem (which makes my % less compared to 8 sems average) or will they consider all 8 semester aggregate? or the degree % and class mentioned in degree certificate is final?
i got very less marks in both toefl and gre i.e in toefl 61 and in gre 710 .Is their any possibility for any university accepting it, and iam btech student with 62% can i apply for any university for M.S if so any university please mention those university
