indienne Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 See that your AWA is low. This may hamper your chances of getting into good school. Go to the graduate sites and check out. Do you work with synopsis ? All the very best. Indien Gurgaon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blase Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 You could try to make it up with a good SoP. Explain to them what got into you during the AWA. But I have to admit that 3.0 is low. Most universities have a cut-off at 4. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hi, You can check out the international ranking of universities released by THE TIMES in Dec2004. It might give you an idea to choose as per your marks. As others said, the AWA is low, but I encourage you to still try. I also think that they don't ask for the 10th or the 12th marks. Some universities do provde a column asking for those marks, but they don't matter a lot when compared to research experience, GRE,TOEFL,TSE, participation in conferences/seminars, sop etc..All the best.

Anand Iyer Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Presently Working for World No.1 EDA Company in India for Past 2.5 yrs. This is going to be your major plus point. Concentrate your SoP on this. Also, try some prof letting now itself. I will have to admit that all your universities are ambitious, but still if you want to aim high, go ahead. I would suggest you to keep a couple of safe bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
