<p>Hey
I'm almost graduating from Canada the following semester. My current GPA is 6.0, on a 9.0 scale this equals to B (note: not a B+ nor a B-).</p>
<p>I'm thinking of Applying to US graduate schools, mainly in the "Software Engineering" or "Information Systems" fields.</p>
<p>Do I stand a chance for Grad school in US? Would you suggest any university that would accept my GPA without GRE or GMAT..? </p>
<ul>
<li>Reference:
University grading scale</li>
</ul>
<p>A+ = 9
A = 8
B+ = 7
B = 6
C+ = 5
C = 4
D+ = 3
D = 2
E = 1
F = 0</p>
<p>You will likely need a GRE score. At my university, Illinois Tech, the GRE is only waived for domestic applicants to professional masters programs who have a GPA above 3.0.</p>
<p>I can’t think of any reputable U.S. grad programs that allow acceptance without the GRE. Furthermore, with a solid B average, you’re going to want to take the GRE anyway - you need high scores to offset what is actually a kind of lowish GPA for graduate school admissions.</p>
<p>Also, you just said “graduate school”. Do you want a master’s or a PhD? That will change things.</p>
<p>MIT’s EECS does not require the GRE, which is closely aligns with software engineering.</p>
<p>EECS is far from software engineering.</p>
<p>CtuieTina, take the GRE. There are many schools in the US that have IS/IT degrees that aren’t as hard to grt into compared to EE/CS admissions, but you need to take the GRE.</p>
