Hi. I have researched US
universities for more than a year. I can understand how difficult it is to
obtain genuine information. If you are reading this, you will end up finding a
list of universities that you can potentially get admitted to, after you spend
a couple of minutes reading through.
The
main evaluating factors for getting admission in US grad schools are:
1.
Bachelor's GPa or Percentage
2.
GRE score
3.
Academic score in College (Your School score is not that important)
4.
TOEFL / IELTS score
5.
Publications
6.
Research and Project
7.
Work experience
8.
SOP and LOR
Now,
pick up a calculator and add your points based on the tables below. If you
haven’t taken any required test, use your targeted score and move on. On the
basis of the total points you earn, find out the universities that suit you.
