sirRiddy: Lol gunther6 bobbycashville please do not spread false information. 3.6 may not be high enough for top 25 programs but it is more then 3.0 I had 3.6 and got into a very good PhD program. Wow.. When you converted? What did you have over 4? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by dannybrown19: 3:47pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Mekurexx: All things being equal if there are no delays, the gap is almost 10hrs. I could use the airport if I can get food and maybe there is wifi. They have a good eatry towards the exit. |

Cuz I dont want to go far from the airport then miss my flight... Check www.trivago.com. In the search menu put in JFK. On the right hand side you can adjust the price to the amount you are comfortable paying (you can see as low as $46). It also shows you the distance to the airport. Have fun. Please guys, I will be more than happy to connect with anyone living in Denver. Thanks. 1 Like |

Okay. I used foreign credential service of America (FCSA) and my 4.25 came out as 3.29. I guess the cheaper the evaluation company, the less tendency for your result to increase the more. I used FCSA cos it was just $140 and they don't require official transcript so I just scanned and sent to them. I regretted it tho and next time I'll use WES for PhD application. Sorry, Please why do you regret it? |

Just out of curiosity - why so important to find a school around New Jersey or Philadelphia?
Also, some other members have raised valid points - you are going to find it very hard to pay for schools if you can't even pay for entrance exams. Taking the GRE is beneficial in several ways as well - either to show proof that you are serious as a student during your interview or to help you secure scholarships... Beautiful reply officer. It baffles me when people started asking for schools around one location or schools only in NY, NJ and PA. If not on grant or something similar, these are costly locations to look for affordable schools. |

Oga keep quiet and stick with your I did , bleep also it is okay to shut up and nod along when you don't know rather than giving misleading advice. Christian129 your 3.6 is way more than 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, I'll say like a 3.2 ... Write standardized exam and chose your schools carefully You are right. My 3.68/5 was converted to 3.29/4. Christian129 cgpa is way above 3.0/4 |

Althought those with high cgpa on 5.00 scale usually experience large cut. Probably because all units are converted to 2 credit hours. But try reevaluate it.
