This probably is my first inquiry following a long time of being a fun of this blog.My name is Ato. I'm from Ghana. I hold a BSc.Mathematics from the Prestigious Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology-KNUST. Our results are calibrated in CWA-cumulative weighted averages. I graduated with a second class honors in the lower division with a CWA of 55.38, which with the guide of how some renowned universities in USA calculate their GPA results in a GPA of 2.1 Regardless of this poor performance which I definitely can explain how it came about, I want to pursue a Masters degree in Financial Mathematics or any other related Mathematics course. I am yet though, to take my GRE test. I want to know if my dream could be fulfilled in USA. Must I also take TOEFL ? With this my background, under what circumstances could I qualify for any financial aid? I would be grateful if somebody could lift me out of my troubled state with some directions. I'm grateful and may God bless you for your concern. Hello.

I am interested in doing MS from a top university in US. But I have a low CGPA of 6.5 which I can increase to 7.0 till my 4th year,which is still low. Please let me know if I should go for GRE. Does the university from which we do Btech matter? To how much extent does the CGPA play role in gaining scholarships in top US universities? are there any other factors? Please help me out as I am very confused at the moment what to do in the future... Thank You sir Sir,
