Hey Anamika,
The question you are asking is a highly subjective one. The minimum tuition fee depends on which course you opt for. An example of that being the fees for a Medical course and the fees for other masters courses vary greatly. The average tuition fees that you shall be expected to pay for is between 20,000 AUD to 36,000 AUD. While the tuition fees courses such as Medicine can range between 33,000 AUD to 43,000 AUD. Maybe if you could specify the course that you are interested in, we could help you further.

Hey Umang,
The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a test set to quantify the fluency of a non-English native student at the English language. This test is important to get into the university of your choice abroad. The test is primarily divided into four parts- reading, listening, speaking and writing which is each worth 30 points. There is another similar test called the IELTS exam which you can also attempt instead of TOEFL. To understand how the TOEFL exam works and which of these two exams you should attempt, here is a blog that you could read(https://ischoolconnect.com/blog/choosing-between-ielts-toefl/)

Hey,
For the U.S a minimum of 6.5 or 7.0 is the recommended score having at least 6.5 on each band. Some of the universities either accept only IELTS or give you a choice between IELTS or TOEFL. Some of these universities for BS Computer science are:

1. California Institute of Technology
2. Georgia State University
3. Eastern Michigan University
4. Florida Institute of Technology

Hey Umang,
Your competitive exams, academic scores, portfolio, LOR, SOP, essays and much more are the factors that influence whether you get into Harvard or not. Harvard requires you to get a CGPA of atleast 3.6 and atleast 320+ in your GRE exams for you to get in. You should also know that the university has different prerequisites for different programs. So before applying, always check the requirements mentioned. For any further information regarding the topic of studyng abroad you could speak with our counsellors at(https://ischoolconnect.com/contact-us). All the best

Hey Umang,
In general, sending your TOEFL score afterwards is not the recommended way to apply to colleges. Some reject the application immediately while other colleges have been seen to have allowed students to do that based on their unofficial scores mentioned and make it official after the documents have been provided. If you have any further queries you could reach out to us at (https://ischoolconnect.com/contact-us).

Hey Anamika,
Yes! Most business schools do mandate at least 2 years of relevant work experience in your field of specialization. If you have worked at the institute for more than 2 years, it would definitely be considered as work experience to study for an MBA in most countries. However, as per my knowledge, you can only apply for a freshers MBA with this amount of work experience. Most universities require you to have a work experience of 4-5 years before you can apply for a Professional/Executive MBA. Why don't you take a look at this blog to find out the Top universities for MBA in USA-https://ischoolconnect.com/blog/top-universities-mba-in-usa/

In India once your interview is over, it takes about 2 weeks for you to get your Visa in hand. Just to be on the safe side, you should reserve a Visa interview appointment as soon as possible since the scheduling could take a few days to a couple of weeks. Therefore in total you must reserve at least a month for your Visa process. If you need any guidance take a look at this blog about How to get a student visa for USA

Hey Shruti,
Colleges don't generally allow payments by cash. There main modes of payment are Debit Card, Credit Card and Internet Banking. Although you definitely try contacting universities abroad and inquiring if they have any other modes of payment.

All the Ivy League schools (Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, etc.) either require or recommend an interview before your application is approved. There are some other schools that require interviews and others that offer them as an option. Having said that I would personally recommend taking an interview. It is a valuable opportunity to demonstrate your interest in a school and seize the opportunity to present yourself in a positive light. I was preparing for my interviews with a few top Universities and iSchoolConnect helped me a great deal for the same. Check them out here - www.ischoolconnect.com

Hey Shruti,
That is a great question. The simple answer to your question is it depends on the university you want to join. Universities have their own selection criteria and could keep either exam as mandatory admission criteria for students. The details of the TOEFL and IELTS exams are listed below:

1. TOEFL is an entrance exam conducted by Education Testing Service located in the US, and therefore is conducted in American English.
2. IELTS is considered by about 140 countries in the world, with the major ones being Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Hey There-,
The people who are best suited to write your letter of recommendation depends upon the program that you want to pursue abroad. For example, if you want to pursue a Masters in the U.S, you should get your letter of recommendation signed by your superiors at the companies you worked at. On the other hand, to pursue courses such as B.Tech/M. Tech abroad, you should look at getting your teachers in college/school to write your letter of recommendation.

Hey There,

A decision like that depends upon a variety of factors. What I can help you with is making an informed decision so here are the advantages of both:

1. Living on campus:
   a. Accessibility: laboratories, gyms, libraries, etc are much more close to you.
   b. Social Life: Students closer to campus can spend more time there which helps to build friendships and connections in some cases.
   c. Security: Staying on campus with the provision of campus security, gives you a safer feeling than staying off-campus.
2. Living off-Campus:
   a. Personal Liberty: students living off-campus generally enjoy more independence than those on-campus.
   b. Space and Privacy: for those living on campus having personal space becomes an issue as college dorms can become really noisy at times. This is a big advantage for those who like there own space.
   c. Availability: staying off-campus means you're exposed to much more which helps a lot.
