Email/Fb id link(Optional): https://facebook/Shawon.Arefin Any advice for aspirants: 1. No matter what your cgpa is, have courage to dream big and chase your dreams. 2. Focus in GRE writing. Extremely high (above 330) score in GRE with poor score in writing (below 3.5) is less effective than 320+ (V 155+ ,M 165+ ) with a high score in writing (above 4). Having a balanced score gives your application more solid base, so practice writing seriously. Better GRE score can overcome average CG. Do not memorize words like parrots, try to read good english story books and pick up words and strengthen vocabs. If you can afford to invest money after GRE, then buy Magoosh and use it. Will prepare you a lot for real GRE exam as it has good time management system, progress tracking , videos to explain certain things and most importantly - real feel of GRE. 3. Practice speaking for TOEFL using TPO software, and check the techniques from noteful. 4. Focus on writing a good statement of purpose. Do not copy paste. Keep it simple and real. Establish what you want to do and why, and what made you choose this particular place. To not state too much research areas and try to hit everybody, rather be direct. If you like a particular professor in a university, make an impression that you have studied his work. Be creative. Do not try to show off your english skills. Do not use the one-size-fit-for-all approach for writing multiple SOP. Take time, but try to customize SOP for each place as much as possible. Even if your CGPA is extremely low, if you can make a good impression on SOP, you have a solid chance of getting in. 5. Most importantly, do not be disheartened by rejection. Stop looking at what others are doing and go do what you want to do. If you believe you can do it, you are halfway there. 11.
