Hello, I have my GPA around 3. If i were to choose 1 among the top 20 universities, what should be my probable GRE score. I’m Planning for Fall 2010, which would complete 2 years of my work experience. I want to specialize in Computer Science, and I have completed my BE in computer Science.
I wanted your suggestion about GMAT. For my profile what do you think would help me Master’s in Technology or in Management. Im even interested in management, but i want to go into a field which will give me a good lift up in my company.
GPA Around 3.0
I would definitely like to know how you calculated GPA with degree from India. Unless you have GPA system, its impossible to convert Percentage to GPA. Having said that, universities have their own GPA Converter formula.
Admission in Top 20 Schools
To get college admission into top 20 schools for Masters, you will need to have research experience, which students from IIT, NIT,..along with recommendation letter from professor who is renowned and known about professors in U.S. schools, strong resume, innovative project implemetation, out of the box thinking and proof for that.
GRE Scored required for Top 20 Schools
I would say, GRE Score above 1300. Since GRE Score is considered along with other factors, like paper presentation, projects, statement of purpose, resume, .. it’s ahrd to say how much minimum GRE score is required. But, you can find the minimum GRE Score required to get admission within the Computer Science department admisison page.
GRE or GMAT
There are many schools in US accepting GRE for admission into MBA program. For instance, Stanford University is accepting GRE Scores for MBA admission. So, find the schools that accept GRE for MBA, if in case you want to do MBA. Check how to find GMAT Score form GRE Score.
MBA or MS?
Well, all I know about you is above 4 lines in your question. Each person is unique and it would be mistake from my part to suggest, MBA is good for you or Masters in Technology is good for you. At end of the day, you are going to work and earn money. If you are not happy with your job, then life will be difficult. So, take time to decide, which fields will be your best fit. Also, you can come to US for MBA and if you don’t like it, change to MS or vice versa. So, I will let you decide MBA or MS, but I gave all the options you have.
Minimum Admission Requirements
All the schools have minimum admission requirements. If all the minimum admission requirements are not satisfied, then student will be given conditional admission.

I was wondering how the universities evaluate a candidate’s GPA. for example a 9 point GPA from IIT would be extremely rare whereas a 9 GPA from other institutes is a little easier. Same thing with other colleges. Its quite difficult to get an 8 GPA (B avg or 3.0 according to US system)in certain institutions. Does that make them ineligible for admission?
Hi!! I am a student of B.Tech bioinformatics ,2nd yr and I am planing for GMAT.. When I went through the websites of many universities and found out the requirements and criterion for getting admitted into the MBA programme,I found a common sentence in almost everywhere that they are looking forward for a person who is extra ordinary,the one who has done something which is unique,but none of them mentioned what actually they want and expect from a candidate.. plz let me know what I should do right from now onwards in order to get into Universities like Harvard..what is that I should do which would make my resume look good and enhance my chances of being accepted by the best university like Harvard and plz do mention me those extra curricular activities in which i should get into,apart from paper presentation and certificate collection tasks!! please clarify me!!
If you are looking to get into Harvard you have read the requirements right. You mush have extraordinary skills and don what others have not done. For example, you are studying Bioinformatice and want to do Phd in Harvard. You have to invent something in filed of Bioinformatics that was not done before.
Say you find a new pattern matching algorithm which is much faster than existing one. Thats something unique.

Its all overhyped.
It doesnt matter what you have done or how much percentage you had or if you have work Ex. or no ….and even if your college is reputed or Not.
JUST give GRE get arnd a 1300 or plus.
Easily ull make it to the top 20′s Im saying this with experience so dont worry.
hey dude thats the coolest comment i’ve read of over 200 comments on this blog ..it really gives me immense confidence….as i did my b.e.(mechanical)with 58% ,that too in 5 years ….now i aim at a gre score of about 1350+ ……………u said that u r writting from ur personal experience …..so can u please let me know that do i stand a good enough chance in a top 20 university (for m.s. )……
i know that this is too much to ask with marks that i have but is there any possibility of financial aid for me ??
Top 20 university with 1350 is tough, unless you have few International papers or projects.
hey thanks buddy for ur advice …. as per the final year project i did a very good one as it was aicte approved project …paper presentation – none , well as u said that top 20 is tough …can u advice a good enough gre score for top 20 as now that is the only thing that i can work hard for … nd can i think of some financial assistance after that undergrad. marks ?? i can get some very good recommendation letters if required ….
