GRE Score:

Top US universities receive thousands of

applications for their coveted Master’s degrees.

The first criteria used to filter applicants is their

GRE score. If your GRE score falls below the
average GRE scores accepted, your admit
chances are risky.

But how can you find out the average GRE score
accepted before you apply?

Statement Of Purpose

Statement of Purpose (SOP) is the closest

thing you have to a one-on-one interview with
the admissions committee.

So, rather than using a generic SOP, ensure

that your SOP answers the following
questions:

1. Why are you choosing this particular

course?
2. How will this course at this university help
you achieve your long term goal?
3. Why are you the best fit for this course?
4. Why are you choosing this particular
university?

2. Your HOD
3. Your favorite professor

If you’re a working professional, get an LOR
