Hello guys
I’m a international student and I am currently doing my ib diploma. I want to apply engineering for MSU. My TOEFL exam is in 20th of December, should I apply right after I receive my score of TOEFL or apply after January. Because my academic record is not very outstanding, I got 31 which is roughly equal to weighted GPA 3.7. My IB mock exam is in January and I am confident that I can get much higher, I think I can get above 36, which can raise my weighted GPA to 4. However, then I need to apply in February.
Since MSU uses rolling admission, early application has advantage, so should I apply early or apply later with a higher GPA?
