<p>congratulations SM</p>

<p>hahah well lets c… and well that schol thingy is not an award … its a stuff told to admitted students… we have to apply for taht scholarship to be considered,… since ruships is not going to tamu… it wud be useless to applly… </p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>also…well USA wont be in my radar as long as sum drastic changes happen in the situation… which may and may not both happen…</p>

<p>as of now … i no longer have the USA jao craze or hype in my mind for UG as now my focus is more on education … and well i am ready to take the action …i guess the 30march -2 april period got the US fever off my mind forever … </p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>erm y so exactly???</p>

<p>let time decide what it holds in stake… as of me all i say in the most dramatic expression is</p>

<p>I have played my cards and now the turn is on to others… my trumpcard is on board . So lets c if things happen as planned now… . and the tables turn aside… nothing in my hands now to say or feel… as i am done with my part… </p>

<p>the game wasnt as expected … but the turnout is expected to be equally rewarding… </p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>wrote to UT-A informing my decision not to enroll.Guess what !!
“THEY ARE WILLING TO MATCH A BETTER AWARD IF IT WOULD CHANGE MY DECISION”…Looks like we could do some bargaining too…cool.</p>

<p>wel with the propsed hikes and all… i wont be taking that risk… </p>

</ol>

<p>to Billgates1
First of all buddy you are on the wrong forum…this is for 4 year college goers…
But now that u have asked a question so let me answer. To give a career lift i would suggest going for the MS in USA (basicalyl Biomed without MS is not that valuable).
Next, Biomed is lot better than biotech (especially in terms of money)…
You can obviously also go for MS in Biotech but i would suggest Biomed…</p>

<p>the last question abt GRE…
Well now that you want to go to the US get the ‘IIT JEE’ image out of your head…US admissions are not just cutoff scores on a test…so any score cannot get u thru 100% to a particular university not even a 1600 (although that can help :slight_smile: ).
But aim for a 1400+ in GRE preferrably a 1500+ (on the computer based section, and try to do well in the AWA as well). you might have to give GRE subject tests, and u need to submit reccomendations from your proffs and your college marksheet for all the terms for which u have given exams…
Instead of coming to forums, first try to get information from the sites of various colleges and email them with your doubts to get an accurate and official answer…
If u want to discuss on forums go to this one…
testmagic.com (its almost purely for MS )</p>

<p>taj: ur from indo too… nice… hmm i am from JIS… you?</p>
