Some
Words
It's been
always a desire of mine to pursue to graduate degree from a
ranked university. On the step of application there are some steps which i had
to face. I tried to give a glimpse of these topics with some
helpful tips. I am sharing everything from my point of view. I think it

Mail to
Professors
It very
often happens that prospective students become confused wile drafting mail to
professors for graduate studies. Before drafting a mail one should be very
careful about to select the professors. Then the second important thing is to
go through his researches carefully and sometimes it becomes necessary to match
the research interests. Sometimes one can be confused regarding language
test result. It’s necessary but not mandatory to complete the language test
before mailing ....[ click here to read more]
Statement
of Intent [ SOI ]
Another
important step for applying in a university. Second most important thing
in my consideration is to make ready the statement of purpose (SOP). Statement
of purpose/Intent/ reasons for graduate study all are the same. Statement of
purpose is nothing but to reasoning, why one is interested in that particular
program for what he has intended to apply. It also serves some other purposes
like, it becomes an example of one’s ability of writing and expressing oneself
clearly in writing. It helps the program faculty to select candidates matching
with their interests. If you are the applicant then I want to say that, it
should basically answer the question ….[ click here to read more]
Recommendation
Letter
Recommendation
letter is another must do thing for study abroad. Generally at least three
recommendation letter is needed for a graduate admission. It is advised to
take the recommendations from the direct
teachers, adviser or supervisor instead of others. In

professional research experiences ....[ click here to read more]
Language
Test Preparation
For
prospective international graduate students, admission tests such as TOEFL and
IELTS are often the most dreaded stage of the application process. On the basis
of my own experience, this section explores some of the most common admission
tests, and how to prepare for them.
International
English Language Testing System (IELTS) and Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) are the two most popular tests available, for testing your
understanding of the English language. Most universities require an IELTS
or a TOEFL score for non-native English speakers and they both examine your
ability to read, write, listen and speak the English language. “IELTS and
TOEFL determine the level of study to which you are eligible to apply.
Prospective applicants can opt for self-study through preparatory books etc, or
can go in for practice classes offered by competent organizations,” says
Harmeet Pental, Regional Director, South Asia, IDP Education India Pvt. Ltd.
IELTS
The International
English Language Testing System (IELTS) test exam is taken with pencil and
paper, and takes three hours and 45 minutes to complete. It is divided into
four sections: Speaking, Reading, Listening, And Writing ....[ click here to read more]
TOEFL
Have no
experience over it yet.
GRE
Preparation
As many as
700,000 aspirants sit for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) annually and
almost all graduate courses and business schools accept a GRE score for
admission. The test examines your analytical writing, verbal reasoning and
quantitative reasoning. In August 2011, the format of the GRE was revised,
in order to accommodate questions which expect you to react to ‘real-life
scenarios’.
The test
is four hours in length and gives no partial credit to examinees. “You have to
nail the content just right,” says Lee Weiss, director of graduate programs,
Kaplan Test Prep ....[ click here to read more]
Selection
of Universities
Try as
much universities as you can. My advice is try to convince a professor
first then try for admission. While trying
for managing a professor, one thing which is better to keep in
your mind is, in some cases you may need to write a proposal for research. In
that case, preparation in advance can be beneficial.
Preparing
for Visa
Preparing
for Visa is a sophisticated task and another most important one. In this
section i would like to share my experience directly regarding Visa
preparation. So far I am interested to pursue my Graduate degree from the
a reputed Canadian university, that's why my experience
shared experience will mostly be regarding Canadian
Visa preparation ....[ click here to read more]
