by HSB on August 30, 2009

in F.A.Q's

Here is the list of questions we received for the message that was sent out 2 days back titled – Week 2 Do you have any questions? We received many questions and they are split in set of 15 questions per article.

1) Naresh

I m comp engg. student & I would to do MS in USA, but my financial condition is not too good. my parents are farmer,  what will be the total expenditure including tuition fees for 2 years. Is there any loan or funding facility? From which  field I should have to do MS ,that should give me good future? pls give urgent reply

Many students with financial situation similar to you study in US. Refer to following article to find more info about

After you get admission, you can apply for Student Loan for studying in US. Type of field depends on your interest. You can make money in any fields in US if you have interest.

2) Harshita

Can u please send some sop and lor

3) Adil

Hello ,
I came across your site a few weeks ago and it is very informative , which is why i have subscribed to it .   I wish to do MS/ME in either aerospcae or mechanical . I am 2nd year mechanical engineering student [ 2nd yr just started !!]. My X and XII marks are 88 % and 81 % respectively . I cleared my 1st yr without any backlogs with an aggregate of 67 %. I can definitely improve my BE percentage more to at least 70+ . My question is how to improve my CV more besides the academics. Should i do some internships or projects ?? Will dat help if i get low marks in GRE etc ..??
…..also i wish to go abroad immediately after final year , when should i start preparing for stuff ??? ………one last small question { please bare with me } , I was also considering Singapore as other destination i.e. NUS and NTU in singapore ….

Is it comparatively easier to get there….and whats the scope of engineering there ???

Read the ebook that you should have got access to after subscribing to Newsletter. It has all the details you are looking about steps to improve your CV, Projects, Exposure, Academic profile, and other factors.

There is a proverb – You get what you pay for. Same goes to USA and Singapore.

4) Ravindar

How much score is better to got a admission in top 20 clg is in us for doing ms(cse) acadamic b.tech    74%,12th stanard 90,   10 th is 89%,i have given ppts and more sports certificate

Having good academics will not get you into Top 10 Universities in America or Top 20 Universities in USA. You need to have research exposure, good recommendation letter and lot of additional efforts in creating projects apart from course work.

5) Yadav

Dear HSB,
Could you please tell me about the financial aid that foreign students can obtain in US universities. Especially those students wishing to study microbiology or biotechnology.

International students are eligible to get Scholarship, Research Assistant, Teaching Assistant or Fellowship and Part time jobs upto 20 hours per week on campus. Not every student will get Financial Aid in US University, so you may want to get Internship using CPT.

6) Aminul

Some Universities want a copy of my B.Sc(Hons) certificate issued by my university.But my university issue only one copy or the certificate and the university doesnot even accept notarized, scanned or xerox copy. what should I do.Besides my GRE(general score) is 1440(V-660,Q-780) and TOEFL 105. My undergrad marks percentage is 58.125% from the dept of Apllied Chemistry and Chemical Technology. What tier of university is suitable for me. I have no articles/publications. what are the chances?

First you have to find Universities in US that will accept students with 15 years of education. Since BSc degree in India is 3 years, you may have to get one more year of education, before many universities will consider you for admission.

US Universities will ask for Official Transcripts, bit original copy of degree certificates. You have been misinformed about the degree certificate requirements.

7) Vaibhav

Hello Sir,

I am a  regular visitor to your blog. But there is one question which need to be answered properly. When to take GRE to attend Spring Semester?  Please give a detailed outline of whole procedure starting from GRE exam to Admission into US university.

Overview of the admission process in explained in the free ebook you should have got after subscribing to Newsletter. If you need more details step by step process, you have 2 options

  • Read all the articles in Happy Schools Blog related to GRE, TOEFL, Admission to MS – Its time consuming process, but information you are looking for is available. There are over 650 articles in this blog.

8) Sam

sir,  Please give me the list of top 10 universities offering MS and Phd plan for Pharmaceutics with their requirements.

Sam, do you have research experience and GRE score above 1400 to get into Top Universities in MS or PhD. If you ask a student who just decided to studying US will have dream to study in Top 10 Universities in US. That’s how everyone will start looking at universities.  After they take first GRE practice test, then Top 10 will become Top 50. Having dream to study in 10 Universities in good, but knowing one’s personal ability is more important.

9) Sneha

i got h1b visa approval on Accounts and finance.  so my question is would u have some sample visa interview questions for it?

Here is the link for H1B Visa Mock Interview

10) Rashmi

i just want know about amount of fiancial aid provide to the students.Is it terms of concessions in tuition fee only or they also provide concessions in lodging and others .

First you have to understand how US Education system works and different types of fee structures. Read the following articles to get more information

Hi, My GRE is 930 and TOEFL is 85, I got admission in Florida Tech for the fall 2010 with scholarship, I got my visa rejected once, he just gazed at my individual score sheet(I had like 10 backlogs) and said rejected. How come the visa officer can just say decide without asking any question? I have 3 years of working experience, very good recommendations, project awards. Does it make sense to reapply for visa?

My interest is in doing a master’s programme in canada. Do I have to pay in the full school fees before I can be given a visa and what conditions or fulfilments will increase my chances of getting a student visa.
I would also like to know if I can be allowed to work while I school as an international student in Canada.
I am a medical doctor and am interested in doing a masters programme in infectious disease or immunology. Thank you.

Hello Sir,
I am completing my B.Tech from NIT Warangal in April 2010, branch: EEE. But I will write GRE may be in June 2010. My class 10th percentage was 90.4% and in 12th I secured 90.8% (school topper). I have a CGPA of 9.41 with 2nd position in my branch. I have a strong CV but have only one publication. As I know its difficult to get an aid so I would like to ask that is it necessary to have a very good GRE score and with my academic excellence will I be in a position to secure teaching assistantship or any other kind of aid after getting into the university. Thank You.
