Any Update? Btw Seamon how do you submit your application ? how are you gonna pay the fees ? and what all were the contents of your Application ?And what was your SAT score ?
Some MS programs have centralized application system.So you dont need to submit application to school.
eg: AMCAS,OTCAS,PTCAS.
though for some schools you need to submit a supplemental application.
Others ,youll need to apply schools and sometimes grad school and colleges.
I think engineering doesnt have a centralised system,so apply to schools/colleges.
.
Very few apply via paper application afaik,so basically its online application.
Most of the online application system has the option to pay via credit card.Cheques and money order are also possible ,i couldnt find money order option to send money from India to US.
.
Generally,when you apply an application you need to send
1.Application - online/post.
2.Your Degree evaluation report from wes.com,JS&A etc(convets %/CGPA to GPA and evaluates if your degreeis sae as that of a U,S degree)
3.Transcripts(Official(sent from college),Unofficial or even pdf copy.
4.Statement Of Purpose/Essay.
5.Letter Of Recommendation(usually 1-3 from professors,employers ,friends
)
6.GRE/GMAT/SAT scores.
7.TOEFL/IELTS scores
8.Resume/CV
9.Evidence/Proof that shows you have enough money to pursue education from you/parents/sponsor etc.
10.Copy of Passport.
11.supplemental application.
some schools maynot need all of these.
