Study Abroad

Hi Pankti,
You haven't specified the desired programme of study so it is very hard to determine. But overall a higher GRE would have been better. There are no set cut-offs. Your profile will be evaluated holistically, chances will depend on your overall profile. Outstanding LORs, SOP, etc. are recommended. You can check the programme specific class profile and have an idea.

Hi Jaskaran,
You have to check if the particular program has a January intake. Typically most of the programmes only have September intake. You can check here:

For any specific confusion, please email them.

Hi Omkar,
You can check universities like Thompson Rivers University, Vancouver Island University, Mount Royal University, etc. or check for PG Diploma courses. Not many options will be available for you. So keep checking universities in other countries also like Australia, New Zealand, France, Ireland, etc.

Hi Mohammad, please clarify what you want to study for better guidance.

Hi Nataraj,
Deadlines for most universities will be over by November. You can be eligible for 2019 intake. But also it depends on which university you are applying to. Very few universities have deadlines until Feb -April. In that case, you can do so but there is no guarantee that you will get the visa on time. So everything will be nothing but haywire. I believe you have already posted questions like these and you have been explained how deadlines and intakes work in the USA. So ideally, you must prepare for one year.

Hi Ushika,
These universities don't have a cut-off. It is understood that you must be academically very strong and must be an all-rounder. Afterall, they are world's topmost. If you are planning to study MS from these universities then please check their websites since the admission process is very different and also for some MS courses a Ph.D is compulsory. Go through the department specific websites, check the class profiles and prepare accordingly.

Hi Sangaameshwar,
The only negative point I could think of would be the expense. And also admissions are more competitive. Overall it's a good decision to be skilled and trained in piloting in Canada.

Hi Ayush,
Since you have a 3-year degree course, you may not be eligible for too many options or universities. In Canada, you can check for PG Diploma courses. Options in USA will also depend on your profile and the university admission policies. You have to check a lot of university websites and email them, proactively.

If you want to study in good colleges and universities, check the detailed ranking of Canadian colleges on webometrics.com. Compare the ranking of colleges, remember if you go for a university, it is very costly but college's education is reasonable.

Hi Aswin,
Yes, it matters. But also it depends on the university how strictly it checks the backlogs and how much weightage they give. Your final scores will also be checked and that is more important. Canada is difficult, they don't accept backlogs, not upto 11. You check options in Europe. A strong SOP and good LORs are recommended.
