Scholarships
Major Intakes & Deadlines
Most popular scholarships are university scholarships. Most universities automatically consider students for scholarships when they apply and are “Merit Based” i.e. scholarships are awarded on the strength of the students’ profile. Typically, those who receive scholarships get between 10% - 25% of the tuition fee waived from the university.

It is rare (but possible) to get a 50% or 100% tuition fee waiver. In some cases, universities have specific pages on their website under the title “Financial Aid” or “Scholarships” which provide in detail different scholarships students can separately apply to.

Grading System
The grading system in the USA uses letter grades, which correspond to a specific grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale. The following table shows the typical conversion. F corresponds to a fail grade. A is the highest grade:
Important Information:
Eligibility Criteria: Most universities require international students to have a GPA of 2.7 (around 7 in Indian GPA) or higher for admission, though competitive programs might require a GPA of 3.0 (around 7.5 in Indian GPA) or higher. Extremely elite universities might have a requirement of a 3.3 GPA (around 8 in Indian GPA) or higher.
Grade Point Average (GPA): The GPA is calculated as a weighted average of all course grades, with each course contributing based on its credit hours.
Percentile Based Grading: Some universities may calculate GPA based on the student’s class rank. Eg: top 20% would be A, next 20% would be B and so on.
Subjective Nature: Grading policies and standards can vary widely between institutions and even between departments within the same institution.

AdmitAbroad was very helpful with GRE and TOEFL. I particularly enjoyed the English speaking and basically the English (verbal) part of the GRE & TOEFL. Other than that they really helped me put all my work I have done for the past 4 years such that it would be presentable enough to get me through the door so it was a great experience.
