University Selection

                  
   
 
Evaluate yourself and pick your University
 
This tool is developed for the MS Aspirants based on the personal experiences of the foreigncampus.com TEAM members, many students in the USA and various other sources. Students can use this for selecting schools themselves. All these figures are based on experiences of students who are presently doing their Masters in Various Universities.

Please note that this is not 100 percent correct as Some times a good under graduate project for a student or a good recommendation letter might help a student make up for his Low GRE scores. But this will certainly help you in making your decisions regarding university selection better.

This tool is very easy to use. All you have to do is add all the points you have scored from each section and reach a final total. When you got your final score then you can select universities of your choice that fall under the score you got. For example if your GRE score is 1400 then you will score 21 points and like wise if your score is 250 in TOEFL then you will get 7 points. So by adding the points you got in each section you will reach a final score. Suppose your final score is 80 then you can simply select the University of your Choice that fall under that score.
