When i should be done with my GRE and IELTS if i want to apply for fall 2020?
-
Hi Karishma,
If you want to apply for Fall 2020, you should be done with your GRE & IELTS by the end of Oct or mid of Nov. of 2019 ( if you want to be eligible for scholarships).
This is because most priority deadlines are on 15 Dec 2019.
For example, for Fall 2020 Computer Science at Arizona State University, the priority deadline is 1st November 2019 and the Final deadline is 1st February 2020.
Similarly, deadlines vary based on courses and University.For complete details, just click on this link to speak to our admission counselor: https://bit.ly/2mlbKT8.

I have heard from people that interest is not applied for the first 2 years after taking the loan (i.e., during the period of my Masters). Is this true? Also, is there a limit to the loan amount I can avail? My CGPA is 8.39, GRE score is 319, and my TOEFL score is 105
-
Hi Akash,

What is the difference between a personal essay and an SOP? As some of the universities demand both, why both? What should be mentioned differently in both?
Q:
What is the difference between a personal essay and an SOP? As some of the universities demand both, why both? What should be mentioned differently in both?
Q:
-
Hi Swaroopa, a personal essay is simply about who you are and what you have achieved. However, an SOP is a detailed portrayal of your aspirations and your passion for a particular field. It is about why you want to do a particular course.
Universities that demand both are those that desire to see what are your passions, aspirations, and drive is.
For what should be mentioned, it depends on your profile and a deep understanding is needed.

Is it necessary to talk about specific scores that already show up on the rest of my profile? Can I use anecdotes to talk about my passion instead? #SOPCraftshop
-
Hi Promit. Thanks for the question. The use of anecdotes to talk about your passion is actually suggested while drafting your SOP. However, it should not be used out of context. Also, overuse should be avoided at all costs. Please talk to our experts and find out in details about your query.
https://bit.ly/2o2vWcP
do we have to mention backlogs and if yes how can we mention them ?
-
Hi Sailee, an SOP is a document in which you write about yourself and make the first impressions to the admissions committee. It connects your past to the present and describes the learnings that you carry to your future. It is okay to mention about your failures and backlogs in the SOP if you think it has helped you become a better person, professionally. However, there are some universities that do not prefer the mention of backlogs. Please feel free to contact our expert and get more details on the same & find out if you should mention your backlogs depending on your profile and the universities you are targeting.

Can you put a bit of humor in the SOP?
