gpa and toefel

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Most Universities are looking for a GPA in excess of 3....but 3.2 n above can be considered safe....as far as toefl is concerned....>95 in most of the schools.....>100 in BU and UMN.....also if ur applying for UCLA....they want >100, with all sections above 25
hope dat helps.....
 
don't get discouraged if your GPA is low. I had a 2.4 and I still got in. My Toefl was near perfect though.
 
china buffet where did u get admission? and what were ur other scores?
 
I have Part I/II 87/77, TOEFL 99, And ECE GPA 2.83, WES 3.45.

I Applied to most all schools that have international program (I did not apply to Columbia, Pitt, Fl).

I was Interviewed at UIC, UDM, LLU, USC, (called for interview at UMDNJ, but declined their interview).

I got Accepted to UIC and UDM.

I am at UIC now & loving it 🙂.

So, in my opinion you need to have a overall application that is attractive, not just stats (for sure you do need good/excellent scores). Excellent SOP, Good Recommendation letters, Apply early, Know your weaknesses and strengths, Do dental assistant and/or volunteer work. And most of all pray and wish for luck.
