hello,
my gre score is 1040(verbal-260,quants-780,awa-2.5)academic score-77% toefl-not written yet, could u pllz tell which univ i get? r they good…..
i’m willing to apply for 2010
Hello!
I’m an architect, and if you remember, I posted a long query sometime back with my then gre score of 1260. Now, however, my second attempt got me 1360 (570verbal; 790quants), still awaiting AWA. TOEFL scores are 117/120 with 27 in speaking (rest all 30).
I’ve 1 yr of teaching exp in design, 1 semster of teaching exp. in architectural history, 5 months of Research exp. (ongoing until March 2010, am an RA to one of my former profs), some community work in my stride, design exp both solely and with 2 firms (currently working with a leading architecture firm in Surat, Gujarat), top scores in college twice and 3rd in final yr with a 70.25%; yes, grades in my university aren’t sloshed out but given frugally, the top scorer got 75% (I can safely presume my GPA to be over 3.5, though I’ve already sent my documents for evaluation to WES). I’ve a good design portfolio, a possible thesis publication in the next 3 months in one of the leading architecture magazines of the country, plus a few ongoing projects.
I plan to apply to Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, Texas A&M, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Washington University in St. Louis & North Carolina State University. Do I have some chance of getting a scholarship + assistantship in any or all of the above mentioned universities? Please help me asap, as I plan to complete online applications before Diwali.
Thanks in anticipation…

hello sir i completed my diploma in pharmacy from gujrat in india and i want to go to usa for batchlar in pharmacy. but i heard that the us ambassy cannot grant the visa so is it true….? plz u give me suggestion becoz i am so much confused.
Hello all,
Just 2 days before I got my toefl score. Its 68(18R + 9L +23S +18W). Its very saddening, I know I can do better, but
Now, as I am applying for spring 2010, deadlines are so close.
I have already applied to 2 universities, USC and UNC, without toefl score.
My consultant says, forget about Spring, and go for Fall. But I want to try all possible aspects to get admission in spring.
My GRE score is 1030(300V +730Q)
One more thing, I am having 3+ work experience and 62 % in B.E.
Following are the shortlisted Universities. These are shortlisted as per my consultant.
New jersey institute of technology
Rochester institute of technology
State university of new york at binghamton
University of houston clear lake
University of massachusetts dartmouth
University of nebraska omaha
University of north carolina charlotte
University of north texas denton
University of southern california
So guys, what do you think? Now, what should I do to get admission in spring 2010?
hi
what your consultant suggesting you is good suggestion
what are the chances for you to get admission with such a low score
i just checked up with
one university that you mentioned
usc
this is what i got from the website:-
1)All other newly admitted international students must take (sit for) the ISE prior to registering for classes at USC if your TOEFL score is:
2)lower than a total score of 100 on the Internet-based test, with no less than 20 on each of the four test components.
3)You must have taken the TOEFL test within the last two years.
what you can do is take some time to study and re write your toefl
and get a good score
if you are going with these low score i am afraid you will not make any dent in admission
there are institute that may not need gre score but not
good toefl score
choice is yours friend
keep focusing
good luck

hi..im doing B.TECH 3rd year,will der b any problem if i apply for gre after fourth bcoz its hard 2 do it after 3rd year,some1 told me it will b good if i do gre after 3rd year..minimum of how much % and backlocks are allowed.plz reply..
@atif
you can choice depends upon your self,prepare well and do it
but it is better to have completed your gre and toefl one year before your admission.
if you had the desire to do your M.S in usa, you could have prepared easily right from the i st year. by that you would have well versed with the gre and toefl.
any way if you want to us universities by 2011 you should complete your gre and toefl.
be prepared for this.
i think you are in a better position, since you are in 3rd year
so in your 4 th year beginning you can choose to finish of your gre and toefl.note there are some university will no more accept toefl so check up with your desired university. and opt to study what they want you to do.
this is the right time for you since you have ample time.

“GRE TAKEN TWICE, BUT RECEIVED THE SAME SCORE CARD AGAIN. DID NOT RECEIVE THE SECOND ATTEMPT SCORE CARD”
Hi.. i have taken GRE “twice”.. first in sep ‘08 and second in sep ‘09.. i scored 1060 anD mentioned 4 universities… the second time i scored 1130..
After i had taken the test for the second time, i received the score card, but it was the score card of the first attempt…
i applied for 3 univ’s with my “first (1060)” score, and the 3 univ’s that i applied, i did not mention them in the free reporting.
So when i received my score card after second attempt, It was the first attempt score card, but with the name of the 3 universities that i applied..
1. Why is this so?
2. When will i be receiving my score card for the second attempt?
3. Is this supposed to happen or a mistake?
The second time i have taken the test, i have mentioned 4 other univ’s and applied for 1 univ from that 4….
Q: And what is “cumulative” score?
hello sir,
i have given two attempts to GRE.. 1st score- 1180 (420-V & 760-Q) 2nd score- 1290(490-V & 800-Q).. is there any adverse effect of giving GRE more than once? which score will b considered by the universities or the scores will b averaged?? my academic record is good as i have always been in top 7 students in my class and my aggregate of 4yrs is 75%. i completed my B.Tech. this year only and currently i am working with a consultancy firm since 5 months.. I am a chemical enggr. will i manage to get good university with this profile??? sir please reply.. thank u..
sir,
i have completed my B.Tech(CSE) with 64.15%(2009 passout).
my toefl-98.
my gre-890.
Got rejeted once for US STUDENT VISA in july 2009.Planning to apply again in Jan.can i get a visa with this kind of profile or should i consider doing some changes in my profile.plz reply sir.
Respected Ali

can i do Ph.D in sociology from america through GRE
Hi,
I have a question regarding the H1B for the next FY.
I will be getting my MBA degree at the beginning of May ‘10 and during the spring semester I will be taking only one course(which is the only one left I have).
Is there any way that I can still apply under the Master quota by April 1st. Any arrangements that I can make with my school, any paper that I can send to USCIS, any advise.
ps- It is critical to me April 1st, because for to consecutive years, FY2007 and FY2008 I have been subject to that lottery picking and I was never picked.
At least the next year I’m hoping to apply with an advanced degree, perhaps the chances will be higher…
let me know your thoughts,
Thank u in advance for ur time
Sir, i m going to apply for visa but my sponser is an h1b visa holder…what documents of my sponsers i need at visa consulate??

hi
congrats
why do you worry about Canada visa rejection, since you have been accepted in US university, all that matters now you must go with all required documents to the us embassy,
1) proof of finance statement from the bank
that you have adequate finance to support your education and your basic needs at USA.
2)You must be prepared to answer in a very positive tone , in case the visa counseller puts you question are you not a potential immigrant to usa.
you must prove to them that you are not by your roots.
we wish you all the very best
good luck

I have done Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology from Mumbai univ and have a work experience of 2+ years in IT industry.
I wish to pursue MS in MIS actually.
Due to personal reasons I want admission in only that university which is near or around Nashville.
So I have opted for Middle Tennessee State University(MTSU). I wish to know how is CS and CIS in MTSU?
Does anyone have any idea if CIS is similar to MIS in MTSU?
How are the chances of getting RA, TA, GA or financial aid in MTSU?
How are the faculty in both the departments?
Also does anyone have any idea about any other universities in or near Nashville?
I know about Tennessee State University at Nashville and Vanderbilt university.
Both these universities don’t have MS in MIS I suppose and moreover Vanderbilt doesn’t have application for Spring for CS.
Hope someone will help me with my queries.
Please reply.

Respected Sir,
I’m doing computer science engineering from a govt college and ive just completed my 1st year…..
well am already thinking of what i wanna do next….Ive gone through all the pages(which are very very informative and i really appreciate it)…..
my main ambition is to work with Microsoft…but i also wanna go to such a college where i truly enjoy my academics and my social life as well…..its cause sir,i study in a college where the curriculum i don’t find fit enough for the day to day life…also the crowd in my college,well,is not up to the mark….i seriously hate my college big time…..i had to study biology in my 1st year..!!!!so u can imagine…..
well i do have interest in all the economics and accounts an stuff but since i had science in my school time and i love computer sciences(hacking and website development),and my main aim in life to work with Microsoft,
I’m confused as to what to do next!!!
also,i swear,but its a 50-50 to both MS and MBA….also one most imp factor is i wanna enjoy doing it and the crowd should be good…..
also since i’ve just entered my 2nd year,i know its a bit early to start,but as they say the early bird catches the worm!!!
please suggest me sir!!!
thanks…awaiting your reply!!!
Varun Joshi
@Varun – You got some thoughtful questions. Microsoft is the dream company to work for any software engineers. If you you want to go into technical field, then MS should be your choice. So, expose yourself to different field sin second year and see whcih area interests your the most. Based on that, you can decide MS or MBA. Alos, doing MBA without work experience of 2 years is not recommended.
respected HSB sir,
thanks a lot for your reply…..
well sir,to tell you the truth,i have this fixation with Microsoft since my childhood…i mean kids say they wanna be a doctor,a businessmen,a pilot…i always said i wanted to be a microsoft engineer…..
i have given it a lot of thought….i think MS would suit me….
sir what kind of a exposure do you mean is hould have in second year…its because my college is NOT gonna provide me with any of it!!so its all up to me!!!
i am already learning php language and i also am an amatuer hacker(i like coding as well)….what kind of exposure,as in,projects etc???
also do extra co curricular activities matter a lot???i dont know weather you know or not,but i am a member of AIESEC,but im inactive in it as i dont find its use…but its an internationaly known organization with its members in 105 countries and one of its sponsor is MICROSOFT!!!
i really appreciate it that you take time from your schedulue to answer our questions…thanks a lot
Varun
Microsoft is big, but Google is equally good. Getting job in Microsoft is bit easy compared to Google and Amazon these days. You have to be strong in Data Structures, Algorithms and one programming language.
again thank you sir for your kind reply…
and what kind of exposure were you talking about???
Hi,

4. have not started my final year project as yet
5. have not presented any national level paers
6. am not interested in research
i want o get into an MHA program. pls advice. kindly
@Nikita – All you need is good GRE Score (above 1100) to get things going in your way.
dear sir
i have a few questions if you could take the time out to answer
i am pursuing my b.pharmacy, i have had 3 breaks of 6 months each, so that is a lag in studies, 1 year i took off intentionally cos i wanted to think if pharmacy was what i wanted to pursue in life and the last 6 months i got unexpectedly,and my grades have been poor till the 5th sem i have got arrears which i have taken 1 or 2 attempts to clear and have basically been very lax with no aim as to what to do in life. now i have woken up! i have taken my last year seriously ,yet i have an aggregate of 65% but i worked on my gre to get 1310 with a better verbal split.and i graduate in oct 2010. this is my academic profile and i would like to apply for masters in health administration.
1. with my academic profile will i be able to apply for this program?
2. how do i look at what schools to apply to ?
3. what are the requirements in terms of extra curriculars do i have to show like internships at hospitals or N.G.O’s , ,research proj’s etc?
4.since i can only apply for a spring semester, is it again possible to aplly for this course in spring?
5. will i be able to get financial aid?
You can get answers to all above questions by joining Premium Membership Club.

And also please tell me some of the good programs for my masters that have demand .
hi,
can any one tell me the format for regarding graduate assistanceship/teaching assistaceship.plz…….. its urgent.
Dear HSB,
First of all I would really like to commend you for such an excellent portal.I think I found everything I wanted in just 10 min, which actually took me hours of googling. I am currently in final year pursuing BE in computer science. I have 69% academics score in last 3 years.
I have been preparing for GRE for past one year and I scored 1390 in the last powerprep test I took. But due to issues with my passport application,I could not give GRE yet.I think I will take the exam in nov last week or dec 1st week. I have 2 queries
1. Since I will have very little time after GRE to go for fall 2010(with such cumbersome application process ), I wanted to ask does it make any difference if I take a six month break and apply for spring 2011?If yes how?
2. I know you have been bombarded with questions like this for 100 times, questions regarding financial aid. but I really cannot afford the whole fee. I wanted to know, what should your profile contain apart from good GRE score, that makes you atleast eligible for aid? Although criteria might vary,but still an idea,like project work, paper work? I chose a very advanced final year project, so that I can make it count. I have also published 1 survey paper in IEEE, and I am working on 2 more papers. Do they matter? If I apply for spring 2011, I will have more time to complete them.(that’s why I asked you the first question, as I had no paper/research work in 6 sems of my engineering, but I am working very hard now. I am positive to score above 1300 in GRE)
I know I have weird and unorganized questions, but any help would be great
thank you,
Regards,
Ravi.

I have two projects in my 8th semester one of which was carried out as a research project at “The Central Research Laboratory”, Bangalore (which is a premier research institute that comes under the defense ministry of India and Bharath Electronics – worked for 3 months there as a project trainee). I also have worked for July Systems, Inc. for a period of 3 months. With some good recommendation letters and a score of 100 and above in TOEFL, is it possible for me to get an admit in any of the universities in the US? If so, can you please tell me the top ten universities where I can apply and also can you please tell me if I can apply for spring 2010.
I will give more information if needed…Please help me out…

Hi,
I got a new I-94 with my I-797.
I am going to India to my H-1 stamped (i am leaving in august) – Currently on F-1.
The I-797 / h-1 begins on October 1st.
So when I leave U.S. do i need to return the new I-94 that’s at the bottom of the I-797 or do I just give the old I-94 (the one from F-1). Or potentially both ?
Thanks much!

Can u telme whether with above profile how much chances do i ve to get into a good university with decent GRE score which can provode me scolorship.
What criteria should i match for the scolorships in good universities.Please help me.
Also what should be my GRE score for scolorships ?
You have good academics and you can certainly apply for admission, but applying to admission is not as simple as it sounds. You cannot simply select few schools to get scholarship. It’s more involved process. Consider joining Premium Membership Club to get more detailed information.
Can u plz list down criteria which i should aim for getting aid from universities?
All the application documents you send to the university plays an important role in getting you admission and scholarship. There is not just one factor. You can precisely learn how to utilize those factors and get admission through Premium Membership.
hi, i m harsh from baroda.i plan to study in u.s. but little bit confused between mba and ms.i hv completed my graduation in 2006 in e&c. now i m running education acedemy for engineers and its good going.the thing that is confusing me is that i dont know the difference in fees between mba and ms,so would you please guide me in this way?
another thing from my side is that i m not that much intrested in doing job and thats why i hv my own setup right now.and why i m concious abt fees is that i m not desperate to study but rather much looking to earn,so for me getting admission is just a gateway to reach there,so please help me in resolving this problem
what is the problem?
Sir,
I gave my gre today and scored 1220 (verbal-580 and quant-640).
Is it a good score to get admission into good universities offering Management in Information Science courses considering the fact that i have got only 640 in quant. I have done B.E in IT with 68 percent aggregate throughout. I would also like to know about the probability of getting scholarships with the above profile.Toefl score is yet to be received but am expected above 100.
kindly help me out..

Dear Sir,
I am an avid follower of your blog and I appreciate the pains you are taking to guide students like us who aspire to study abroad. Thank you so much for your time and patience.
I have a GRE score of 1250 (quants: 640, verbal: 610, analytical writing: 4.5). I gave my TOEFL on 13th June 2009. I am planning to apply to the university of Utah for the spring 2010 term for a Phd in Civil Enggineering (Majoring in Transportation). Will it be too late for me to apply now considering the fact that the TOEFL score card will arrive only 45 days later. I have a good academic profile with 85% aggregate in B.E. I am doing my research assistanceship at IISc (Indian Institute of Science), Bangalore from the past year. Also, I have a paper under review at an international journal (ASCE).
Kindly throw some light on whether it is advisable to apply for the spring term of 2010 or should I consider applying for the Fall 2010 itself?
Thanks a lot.

I would like to know how is the MPH program at the University North Texas Health Science Center…how are the research opportunities…since I don’t know much abt this Uni and had applied to it only as a safe university since i had a very good profile (GRE 1500 toefl 112/120 and GPA 4/4 in MBBS) but am now considering it since it is offering me financial aid.
I am comparing it with the University Of Texas Health Science Center which I prefer (ranked 12 for MPH, very good program, very good for research, and I know a lot of seniors here) …though haven’t got any financial aid here..

Dear HSB,
Here is an interesting situation.
Happy is a J-1 exchange student. Completes his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering.Completes his 18 months course related work-experience equivalent to OPT for F-1s.(J-1s arent issued EAD card, just a letter from university).
Now he wants to take a 2 or 4 year degree in business to enhance his skill, and received a J-1 waiver.
The question is : can he still get a OPT after his 2 or 4 years second degree?
Would be grateful for your answer!
I wish I knew the answer. OPT is issued only one per degree level. Once for Bachelors, once for Masters. If you get 2 Bachelors degree, you get only one OPT and same applies to MS and MBA. but, I’m not sure how work period for J1 will be considered.
Thanks for your response
Dear Sir,
I am Sazal from Bangladesh. I am a regular reader of HSB and always greatfull for its helpfull posts. I have got full funding for PhD in UTSA(University of Texas at San Antonio) for Fall 2009. I have appeared for F1 visa interview in 29th april. They kept my passport, gave me a confirmation letter saying that my visa application is successfull and additional admistrative processing is required which may take long time. My question is, how much time generally they take for additional processing for F1 visa? If they take much time(more than 3 months), then my academic session could me missed. So what should do then? Please reply me about this situation. Thank you very much.

I am Fall 2009 batch pass out from India….Please Help me regarding this matters.Presently I am facing a big dilemma in front of me……Please Sir Help me….
Anshula – You have very good profile. I guess you must be aware of the fact, GRE Score alone will not get into good university. You have very good chances to get admission with fellowship/assistantship. I would suggest you go to apply for 8 to 10 schools by spending time in selecting schools that have research interest in your area. If you find it difficult to select schools, then apply for 5 schools, come to US spend one semester and get transfer to better school.

Hi
Plz give me the answer for the following questions:
1. If somebody get the H1B visa. Would he/she be still dependent on the employer who has filled his/her H1B or he/she can come here any time?
2. If in case he/she have signed some kind of contract with the employer says 1 year. He/she must work with them for that time period or you he/she can get his/her H1B transfer to some other employer?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nirdesh
Yes – employee is dependent on the employer. One cannot enter US without the employers knowledge.
I guess the person you are talking about should have applied for H1 through a consultant and they should have asked to sign a contract. It depends on the contract. AS per USCIS, employee should not pay for any expenses and they can transfer H1 to other employer. Always its good idea to consult with an immigration professional for this type of situation.
Thank u so much…

Hi, Firstly, I want to congratulate you for this wonderful guidance work that you are doing. It has helped a lot of people till now and I am thanking you on behalf of all of them. My question is the same as millions of others. GRE-1130(V-420.Q-710) Studying in pre-final year Polymer Engg at Pune University. Wish to Pursue M.S. in Material Science or Polymer Science and Engineering. Which one of the two do I choose? I am confused. I have an aggregate first class till my 5th semester. I haven’t presented any papers. Please guide me regarding which all universities to aim for and how to enhance my profile. Thank you once again
See if you can improve your GRE Score, if not do projects and if possible internship. Presenting papers will is good idea to enhance your profile.
Thanks a lot. I don’t think I can afford to give GRE again. But I will try to do some papers and internships. As for the projects, I have to do one in my final year as it is. But will try for another one may be. But please tell me honestly, with GRE-1130 will I get admitted into any university ranked in the first 100?
Hi,
My company has applied for H1B for one of my friend. She has done her M.C.A.(Masters) and having almost 3 years of experience in IT(T.C.S).

2. If she will get the H1B visa. Would she be still dependent on the employer who has filled her H1B or she can come here any time?
3. If in case you have signed some kind of contract with your employer like 1 year. You must work with them for that time period or you can get ur H1B transfer to some other employer?
Thanks,

Hi,
I applied for H1B for one of my friend. She has done her M.C.A.(Masters) and having almost 3 years of experience in IT(T.C.S).
1. What are the chances of getting H1B this year?
2. If she will get the H1B visa. Would she be still dependent on the employer who has filled her H1B or she can come here any time?
3. If in case you have signed some kind of contract with your employer like 1 year. You must work with them for that time period or you can get ur H1B transfer to some other employer?
Thanks,
Nirdesh
I applied – does that mean you are the employer?
No, I’m not an employer.
Answers:
1. Chances of getting H1B this year is 99% if u had applied before 7th apr and ur paper work is perfect.
2. Yes, she will be dependent on the employer, who has filled her H1B.
3. U would have to stick to ur contract, there is no way out specially if ur employer is paying u according to ur contract. If u’ll try to break t contract then ur employer can sue u.

TOP 10 UNIVERSITY IN UNITED STATES FOR MS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
I have dome MBA finance in USA. If I file H1B this april than is there more chances that i get approval ? the reason I am asking is that I heard that many many H1 agents are not going to file H1 this year. So I think this year applications will be too much low & so chance of approval is more.
Is this correct ?
Hi,
I graduated on 12th December,2008 and I started my OPT on feb 12th,2009 which apparantly expires feb 11th ,2010. I couldn’t find any H1b sponsors this year, as the market is in bad shape.
If I apply for H1b next year, i.e. on 1st April, 2010, would I still fall under MS quota,as I did the masters???

Hello Sir,
I have applied for MS program in Biological Sciences. I have shown 4 sponsors including my parents and uncles. I was worried about that but read one of your articles sayin its ok as long as they know I have the funds to afford my education. I have sent various Bank statements supporting the accounts of my 4 sponsors. Will that hamper my selection in any way?
hi , i am on F-1 visa. and it is for 3 years. but somehow my F-1 status and visa expired in this december.so will i be able to get OPT and will my visa validity extended on the same bases.
How can F1 status and Visa expire somehow? If you haven’t completed your course, talk to your schools International Office.
I have little doubt in the OPT status.
suppose we get opt card in feb’08 and I get job in March’08. I am on safe side with valid OPT status.
1) but what happen if company fire me after first 3 month(March,April,May) & then after I am not able to get another job until my OPT finish in feb’09.?
2) can I eligible to file h1b in april’09 ?
3) Though, I got job in frist between 3 month & then I lost the job, so am I on status of OPT or not ?

My GRE score is 1340(Q-750,v-590 awa-3)and I have applied for Phd in life sciences what chances do i have to get thru at this score
my Graduate percent-68%
PG-7.54 cgpa
and i did my project from JNU
If I sit out a semester from school can I still stay ij the us I am on a f1
@Jean – I dont think so. To be in status you will need to be enrolled in the school full time. Rare cases they allow for less than full time enrollment. Talk to your International Office for more details.
Why do we have to pay three time the amount the a resident pay. I can not afford.
Thats how the fees are structured. Public schools are run by tax payers money. So, if you are resident of a state you pay In state fee, if not out of state.
