Sufficient gre score to get aid

Okay let me not bluff you all, i mean the international students( asians specially)a are not given aid on i20 unless
  • you apply to a low profile university relative to your profile
  • Or you are something exuberant and awesome!(which in general we can't expect)
 So does that make any sense? I could present it in a larger scenario! 
Let me say you got 1200 Gre score, which i believe is an decent but not a great score and you apply to an university whose stand out performer has just 990! here you get an chance of getting aid! 


or the other wise is that, you have an excellent UG and intermediate (say about 80 % or very high GRE or Very high TOEFL). So i ask you not to hope for getting an aid in the first semester if you aim for a very good university! Yes it is true, don't blame me for being rude.

Apology

Sorry everyone, i could not upload things for quite a few days! Here i come back again, posting things on GRE! hope it helps!

will be updating as and when i find time!
Thank you for following my blog!

an advice on GRE/GMAT


Hello pals, am back on to writing things! Well i just wanna advice a few newbies who wanna Crack the GRE/GMAT on a few basic aspects of it! I'd prefer to start away in style!
 Coach: Are you gonna play a foot ball match to coach you someone? I agree if people ain't from math background buddy go ahead have an institution that has been reputed of teaching people of what maths is! Even you could learn it from your neighbor guy whose major could be maths!


                  Are you the kid in shorts who needs a big guy bent on his legs and explain each and every aspect of GRE?

Chapter 1

                             
                                                        1. to the Johannesburg

“You don’t want to see me alive, do you??” she demanded an answer, gouging out incessantly entering the gate. I was sitting beside her, driving the car and wondering weather I did something wrong in my life, Am I troubling her? Or is she?

Were we still sailing on flotsam remains of wreckage?

“I’d die to see you alive” I answered on the grounds of impetus.

Then for god-sake get me out of here, you moron; I don’t want to die here!” she yelled on my face, smacking the perfume on to the ground. It broke into pieces, as many as our lives were torn into. The doors where open and no sound came from inside as we stopped before the door. I expected Chamu to show up, but she did not turn up! Where was she? I wondered but dared not to utter a word with her. We barged in to check if anyone was there,

“Where is Chamu?” she asked

“She must be back to her place”

“Back? Ask Collin”. I searched for him everywhere. He was not there!
He said that he’d definitely be back in an hour, it’s been three hours. Huh!

“He isn’t back” I replied in a low voice. Her face grew red and gave out her regular soundings

“I’m leaving this horrid place now! Are you coming with me?”

“You look so beautiful frenzied” I tried to persuade her
“It’s a govt. job sweetheart, I can’t come” I said looking straight into her eyes. I took her hands on mine trying to ease her frustration. She hit me on the hands and pushing me aside,

Fine stay here; I’m on my way she said dragging all the clothes from the upper rack of the cupboard and threw them on the bed; I stood there staring there agape at the huge mass of clothes piped over the bed.
“What are you doing?”

I am leaving from this place, can’t you see it?” she asked

synonyms

Here is a file which deals with synonyms: its like


ability
capacity, faculty, talent, skill, competence, aptitude
abolish
exterminate, extinguish, extirpate, eradicate, obliterate
abstinence

sop for ms



Here i come folks, with an topic on SOP which means a statement of purpose
It answers the question on any US citizen's face (of the university)
Why the heck are you coming to USA all the way from India and why should i give you admit into the university?  


Okay, give it a thought first! Aren't we in a position to study further in our beloved country India? ( in case a visa interviewer asks it you must be able to answer). 
What does your clever brain say of it? It's not about the opportunities its all about the sophistication in the education system! Why aren't we asked to write the same statement of purpose for our universities? ever gave a thought?  Boring right? You gotta bear with these things, as you are at the beginning of a stage where in you had to deal with more and more stuff of this kind!

GRE Reading Comprehension made easy

Hey folks, was a bit busy! here i come up with the most sucking topic of all! I hate writing it, but just doing it so that you guys will never feel it in that way! During the first few days of my prep, my eyes had put on a default closing button upon reading 4 sentences! 
 I was never an avid reader on the PC, i loathed it. For Gre it was something inevitable and hence i had to! even you have to! It took a week for me to complete the non-interesting and worst article of my life! 
                       You don't get articles or comprehensive passages that are flavorless, boring, insipid, wimpy and so on. A few one's make you feel that hitting yourself with hammer is more comfortable than reading it!
