There is no university on US or in the world that will evaluate you only by your GRE score, this is rather impossible. I have seen people with 1520 GRE and 293 TOEFL not being accepted on MIT and others with 1200 and 230 being accepted. The letters of recomendation and your academic honors and publications are MUTCH MORE important. The GRE and TOEFL scores works for a competitive basis, if you get a too low score they are not even going to review your application. But if you get high scores they´ll probably review, but with no STRONG letter of reccomendations, honors or publications at undergraduate work they will probably disconsider you as a candidate. If you have a low GPA this is not the end of the world, since you complete the other requirements above average. Good luck.

Assuming that you meet all of their requirements for admission (i.e. a BA and some kind of Master's plus the required GPA), why not go ahead and apply instead of trying to outguess them.  Or at least go talk to a real live person instead of relying on what their catalog and website say.    \n\nYou are anticipating the worst when you haven't really tried yet.  You are reading between the lines and coming to conclusions that may not be warranted.  Go find out what the real story is.

You have a good chance of being accepted, but academic scholarships to such schools are ultra-competitive. There are probably plenty of people applying who have a 3.9 or 4.0

Universities in USA have their own marking and evaluation systems, which are considerably different from the Indian system. They follow the GPA (Grade Point Average) system which is based on the 5 points scheme – A,B,C,D & F. \n\nIt is advisable not to convert your marks in the Indian system of grading to the American Grade Point Average system or any other system since the conversion may not be accurate. You may attach an explanatory note from your college to indicate your rank in your class and/or university. The letter may also indicate your relative place in the class and the university average, along with the number of students in the class and the number of colleges and students in the university. You may also provide any other information or documents that you feel may help you in the admission process. \n\nStudents applying for Graduate courses (MBA, MS etc) are required to submit an official transcript (mark-sheets) from each college or university that they have attended after secondary school with complete details of the subjects/credits involved (for each year) and other details like correspondence courses, diplomas etc. Most universities ask for the transcript (mark-sheets) to be sealed in an envelope and signed and attested across the seal by the registrar. This procedure is to be done for each and every college that you have attended. Some universities may ask for more than one copy of the transcript. \n\nIf the transcripts are in a language other than English, they must be translated into English only by the issuing authority or university.

there is a way you can transfer credits for a 4 year engg.program in usa.for this you need a valid toefl and SAT scores.since you have completed only one year you may not get many credit transfers and in US you cant go direct to 2nd year.They will evaluate your first year syllabus and grades, see what subjects can be transfered and then give you credit for those subjects only.Your acads are also low so you may not get accepted in very good uni.my advice try and complete your undergrads wherever you are and try to better your grades and then go for masters .even uk and australia are the same except you do not need sat.take a gre and toefl and go for MS.

Depending on your major, most state university will get you in with a min of 2.0.\n\nStart in a community college and save money and then go to a better school.

Yes, but as they say: "You can't get there from here."\n\nI'm assuming that you have already applied and been rejected. If not, then by all means apply. The worst that can happen is to be turned down. You may be able to get in, but you'll never know if you don't try. \n\nIf you have already applied and been rejected, my advice is to go to a accredited junior college and rack up at least one year of good grades. Then apply again while still attending classes at that junior college. You essentially have to create a track record of good grades to prove yourself. \n\nGet tutoring, make friends with studious kids and study with them, do ALL your homework, and study hard. ANYONE can make top grades if they try hard enough. It's just a question of how bad you want it and whether you will sacrifice enough to  reach your goal.\n\nI also suggest that you pick several other universities and pursue them as well. Despite what some may say, the university you attend is not as important as how hard you work. Good grades from a less than wonderful university is still better than mediocre grades from a top university. And two or three years after you start your career, very few people will even care where you got your degree. Your reputation at work will have a much greater bearing on your career than where you went to school.\n\nThe only people who make a big deal about the university they attended are those who haven't accomplished much after they left it.

There's  a way, but  it's  gonna have to be the hard way:  you  need to go through the same, or a different college's Continuing Ed. division.  You need to take about 3-5 courses to prove you can get at least a 2.5 gpa, then re-apply into Matriculating status at that college in order to take courses that will actually count towards graduation.  Basically, you need to "prove yourself" again first before you're considered by the Office of Admissions.  Talk to the admissions' counselor and the Continuing Ed. Dept.'s counselors of whichever school you will try to apply again.  They're usually very understanding and helpful.\n\nGood luck !!!

Yeah, you can get into Harvard.  It's called tresspassing. :) \n\n\nBut what you could actually do is go to another college, get amazing grades, then apply for graduate school at Harvard.\nGood luck!!

I'm not an MBA--but I am a college prof.  Can an average student go on to graduate school?  Certainly.\n\nYour "average" grades may limit what graduate schools are willing to admit you for studies--but this does not mean you should give up.\n\nThe real key is the question of motivation.  Some students just aren't terribly motivated as undergraduates--but they have a passion for the study that is involved in graduate work.  So I would not give up just because you don't have a perfect record as an undergraduate.  The question you need to ask is whether you are ready to commit to being a better student.

I got into The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a lower GPA than that. That school bases admission solely on your portfolio, but you will have to demonstrate basic competency in reading. It's one of the best regarded fine arts colleges in the country, so if you're serious I would say definitely apply there. If your portfolio is really good, you might even get a scholarship based on your portfolio. Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.artic.edu/

All you can do is apply...\n\nMy suggestion would be to go to your local community college and then transfer.  If you have great grades there, you can get into pretty much any college.

Every college has different standards in terms of what it's requirements for admissions. I would recommend checking out the university you're interested in attending and finding out what their standards are.\n\nIf your grades weren't the best in high school, it might behoove you to go to Junior College (Community College) first for a couple of years and then transfer, especially if you've shown that you can attain good grades at a collegiate level.
