  1. I have a pressing query that is applicable to all international applicants for US courses. I have an issue regarding the third party course-by-course verification of applications for an MS course. Something like this cannot be avoided and is rather expensive. Since these third parties charge about $200 for evaluation, its a steep cost. My questions are as follows: 1) Do they charge the aforementioned (or similar) sum for sending transcript evaluation reports to each university I apply to? For instance, if I apply to ABC university, they charge $200. If i wish to apply to XYZ uni as well, they charge another $200. 2) Since thee third parties send the transcripts directly to the universities in question, is there any way to know how favorably or unfavorably they have evaluated the transcript? Thanks a million! Shivaang.
  2. I have a problem that afflicts most students. I have scored 323 in my GRE (Quantitative - 163, Verbal - 160). Awaiting AWA score.But my GPA is 3.2 (its weighted, i.e. class average linked. So if I score a modest score of 'X' out of 100 and the class average is above X, then my GPA falls significantly, and if the class average is lower than my modest score of 'X' then i score a very high GPA) I have a three year degree in BSc. Economics from Symbiosis University in India. My work portfolio consists of a year long stint with WWF-India (World wide fund for nature) in the forests as research assistant. Currently, I am working with SUZLON (wind energy) for the past six months with the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) team. In accordance with the aforementioned qualifications, will i be a suitable candidate for the Masters programmeS AT Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, UPenn and Yale? Area of interest: Environmental economics, Public Policy, Energy & Resources. Furthermore, since i have received instruction for my BSc. Economics degree in english and I have completed my A-levels in the UK (Maths, Economics and Law as my majors), will i be required to complete the TOEFL examination as well? Thanks!
  3. I wish to apply for a Masters in Energy & Resources from Berkeley and for the Masters in Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I am 26 have a three year degree in BSc. Economics from Symbiosis University in India. My work portfolio consists of a year long stint with WWF-India (World wide fund for nature) as a research assistant living in the forests and local communities. Currently, I am working with SUZLON (wind energy) for the past six months with the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) team. I have scored 323 in my GRE (Quantitative - 163, Verbal - 160) and my GPA appears to be a weak point since it is 3.1 out of 4. However, my GPA is a pegged one, i.e. the average of the class determined my grade as well. Is there a tool that can help me convert this figure into an actual GPA? More importantly, in accordance with the aforementioned qualifications, will i be a suitable candidate for the programmes i have listed? Although i wish to pursue this degree out of my passion, I would greatly appreciate some guidance on the job prospects for the same. Thanks a Million!Shivaang.
