Hi friends,
Im a commerce graduate from India. At present im doing my MCA from IGNOU. By B.Com results were not at all good.(around 55-60%)
And im planning to go for GRE so that i can study MS in Comp science or MIS.
So according to your knowledge is it worth to go for GRE with such academic record, as i will need scholarship too because im from a middle class family.
Please suggest me wether i should go for GRE or not.
I will be eagerly waiting for replies.
Thank You.

Karan, first things first ur GPA is not the only thing that makes or breaks ur application, unless u apply to a university that need specific numbers.. Also, there are universities which are not necessarily in the top tier but still have good ties with companies...U might wanna research a li'l bit regarding this. I am not very sure about the asstship status in most of the univs except a very few where I know for sure that there are still funds available inspite of the economic downturn......And as far as taking GRE goes, IMHO its totally upto u. U r the only person who can decide which is best for u....We, as friends can only tell u the pros and cons about ur options
