The Indian Thread (TiT) # 15

<p>Oh thanx........well,I can name some low ones,but,they provide very-very limited scholarship/fin.aid......
Hey,if u can pay that much..then go for CANADA......u can get in there SURELY!!!.......the good ones r McGill(top one),uni of Toronto(but dont apply there,coz the class size is over 1000!!!!!for first yr..),Uni of British columbia,uni of Waterloo......
N they only require IELTS/TOEFL....no SATs.......!!!!......</p>

<p>ya i was planning to apply in mcgill ,U of T and windsor university...but parents don't want me to go there...coz the job prospects there are nil...its even hard to find part time jobs there...so no point... and i dont wanna go there either... so i have already dropped that option.. hey isac name some low ones in US?? and ya i have already given my toefl iBT... i got 101/120</p>

<p>please, this is very important and urgent! - Isaac, abhishiv, and others</p>

<p>Initially I wasn't going to send my 9th & 10th transcripts since I had lost them, and my school didn't have any past records. Today morning I discovered them in my store room, and unsuprsingly, they are horrible; all 40s-50s.</p>

<p>So I don't know exactly what to do... should I send them or not. What are you people doing? My ICSE marksheet is relatively neat; 60s-70s and even some 80s. I am afraid these trascripts will hurt my chances.... any advice or inputs?</p>

<p>as far as i went through different colleges sites regarding the application process and everything.. the marks matters a lot... they take them into consideration... i guess they r gonna hurt ur admission thing... is there anyway you can ask your school to make a fake marksheet for class IXth for you?</p>

<p>I would suggest not sending them, ask your school to put your official X grades(ICSE) in the transcipt, there's no need of grade IX marks.</p>

<p>Ya unis dont require IX from us..........just require X n XII(if available) marksheets......IF U HAV NOT COMPELTED XII then they will require ur half yearly/terms marksheet(s)...</p>

<p>doiknowu:Wat??!!!!My friend is currently studyin in Uni of Alberta(Edmonton,Canada).........initially,he got no job,but after one month he got 2 jobs simultaneously!!!</p>

<p>thanks a lot! I will go and throw away the report cards... I don't want to see them ever again....</p>

<p>Now I am left with only a attested copy of my 10th ICSE marksheet. Is that the only thing I should send? What about the messy XI STD report, are you guys sending that transcript?</p>

<p>Or, are you guys sending predicted 12th grades? what do you do? Tell your counsellor/principal that you are expecting some 80s and 90s, and she writes them down on a sheet of paper and signs it...is that it?</p>

<p>9th is not so much necessary. 10th(Board) and 11th are crucial. If you can provide them with 12th - then its good.</p>

<p>I have to send my stuff by next week... so I am very tensed...</p>

<p>My School Report form says- "A full and candid report from the secondary school is essential if the applicant is to be given fair consideration. We therefore ask for the student’s transcript and for careful ratings and comments by a school official about the student’s character and abilities. Please complete both sides of this form, attach it to the student’s transcript, and return it to the address indicated above."</p>

<p>what meaning should I assign to the word transcript here? my 11th grades or should I simply tell my college counsellor to attach my ICSE marksheet?</p>

<p>isac- i really don't know.. my cousins are also studying in Canada and they are havng hard time finding jobs there...jobs aren't consistent there...thats what they told...plzz bro list me some decent universities within 16000$ budget..pllzzz</p>

<p>i would like to know your EC's before i can comment and any other things relevant to ur apps tht u think would work out gr8 in ur favor..</p>

<p>SM</p>

<p>You HAVE to provide 10th and 11th Grades. Also 12th if you have them. Some colleges also want 9th grade.</p>

<p>U may find some useful colleges listed in here-
