Hey Rutuja,

These are great questions and I'll try and answer all your questions as systematically as possible. Both scholarships and university applications depend upon your overall profile. Factors such as your Statement of Purpose, Letters of recommendation, Certifications, Social work, etc. along with your scores, play a major role in your application.
Being an 'undecided major' allows you to enter your chosen college without declaring a major and thus, allows you to explore your interests. Your SOP is what sets your profile apart from the other applicants'. Therefore, it's a highly important aspect.
Since the IELTS exam is more widely accepted, you can definitely try taking it. However, it still largely depends upon the country you choose.

In order to make an exact analysis, we'd need your exam scores and other details. But depending upon the program and university you choose, as long as you have a solid profile overall you can definitely get into top universities. If you need help choosing the right program/university based on your scores and preferences, you can always contact us or register with us. Hope the answer helped!

In light of this Coronavirus pandemic outbreak, public health is the most important course for students to pursue. This course deals with society's health, hygiene, etc.The full-time course is of about 2 years. If you want to apply for Masters in Public Health then top universities in the US that offer this program are, Harvard University with tuition fees around $41,832, Columbia University with tuition fees around $42,280, University of California - Berkeley with tuition fees around $26,322, Boston University with tuition fees around $47,422.

There are different categories in which the questions are divided. But mostly the interviewer focuses on questions regarding your chosen college or university, bank & finance details, family background, work experience, and other general questions. Let's see some examples of commonly asked questions in a student visa interview:

1. College & University - Which university or college you want to apply to and why did you choose to go to this specific university or college?
2. Bank & Finance - If you plan to stay for few years, how are you going to finance your education and your living?
3. Family background - Do you have any other relatives who live in the United States?
4. Work & Job - Where did you work and what is your work experience?
5. General Questions - This will include general questions like, why america?, your scores, ideas about some topic, etc.

Both the cards have their pros and cons. Let's look at the pros and cons for both the cards:

Debit cards are the most preferred by students as it provides with limitations and you can keep track of how much you have spent on the daily basis. But the con is if the card is stolen or lost, then the money security options are very limited. You have to block the card and you are not sure how much you have lost till then.

The credit card on the other hand, offers many benefits but, is a very big responsibility. It is hard to keep a track on the amount of expenditure and you may have to pay a big amount if not spent properly. But this problem can be solved by putting a spending limit. This will help you to stop any over expenditure you might have. Not only that, but credit cards also have a lot of benefits. For example, credit points will help you to get discounts on various places like shopping, air travel, etc. You can also build credit history which will help you in gaining loans in the future.

So, if you're an international student abroad, opting for a credit card with a spending limit might be beneficial if you don't want to keep a lot of money invested in your debit card.

Hey Jitesh,

The usual stay back period in the USA after your MBA is 60-90 days, without OPT. If you decide to opt for the OPT or the Optional Practical Training, you are allowed to work in the U.S. for a period of up to twelve months while studying or after the completion of your MBA program.

You have a great profile that is fit for the top universities in both Canada as well as the USA. However, there are other scores such as the ones for GMAT and TOEFL/IELTS that also make a huge difference in your admission. If you could provide those scores, I could tell you specifically which top universities in USA you might be eligible for.

The USA has always been a great country for education and job opportunities and it still remains one of the best. However, if you wish to immigrate and settle abroad, Canada might be a better option. It has better permanent residency policies as well as really great job options. However, it all boils down to your preferences.

Hey Ananya! Your SOP is a very important part of your student profile. It accounts for almost 30% of your entire university application. A really good SOP can help you cover up some of the bad aspects of your academic profile.

How to write a Statement of Purpose? Here's the basic format for writing an SOP:

1. Write your Statement of Purpose (SOP) in a paragraph format with not more than 1000 words or one to one and a half pages.
2. Make sure you mention your full name and the program you want to apply for at the top of each page.

GRE is both paper-based and computer-based. But most prefer computer-based.
