Secret Of Getting Graduate School Admission With Scholarship
Posted on June 25, 2008
Each and every college student applying for graduate school admissions has one big dream i.e. to get admission with scholarship or some form of aid. It's a very tough question to answer and it applies to specific student profile o individual basis. But, hang on, there is a sure way to get admission with scholarship.
When you are in Graduate School Universities shortlisting phase, take a good look at the minimum GRE, TOEFL and GPA requirements for each school. Some grad schools and colleges will have different requirements from the department requirements. Make sure to check out college admission requirements for both the department you apply and grad school.
Now, having collected the information, I have seen students classify the colleges into Ambitious, Moderate and Safe categories. I would like to relate the word Ambitious to Luck with less probability. Why would someone has to waste few hundred dollars in college application fee and GRE and TOEFL score forwarding, application documents courier fee, when grad school admission is not sure.
Example:
GRE Score : 1210;
Grad School Minimum Requirement : 1400
And other factors are less than minimum requirements
I really wouldn't waste my time and money in applying to such college.
Instead I would spend more time in searching for universities and college, that suits my profile. Also, it's better to find decent schools that had research funding and that has minimum requirements less than what your credentials are.
Example:
Your GRE Score : 1310;
Grad School Minimum Requirement : 1100
And other factors are more or equal to the minimum requirements
There are so many grad schools out there with lots of research and scholarship opportunities. But, it takes time to find such schools. ( Steps to find schools that match your profile )
To answer the question I asked, the secret to get admission is to apply for schools that have minimum requirements below your credentials ( GRE, TOEFL, ..). Don't select schools that have very low minimum requirements. If your score is 1350, apply for school that has minimum of 1100, don't go for schools that have 1000 as minimum requirements.
Having short listed such schools, I would suggest to read How to email professors for guaranteed admission. Have this magic worked? Yes, I know many who got admission by following this simple tactic.
