I really need a little help here guys. I do not think I have a chance at top tier schools sense my Gre scores really sucks! Should I add 2 or more lower tier schools? (lacking money actually!)
Also when I converted my GPA into US scale it turned 4.00, is that even possible? It seems very weird, but some schools require this online conversation process.
Help!
