What Universities Should I Apply To With My Situation And Grade Disaster.

Should I apply to American universities after my 12th CBSE finals or before my 12th finals?

When it comes to applying for a college, senior year is the most important time. Getting into the application process and meeting all the formalities can be a daunting experience if you start too late. It is easy and good to start early and break the process into smaller steps.Start before the final exam chaos kick in. Start exploring colleges in August-September, narrow down on your choices, check out their procedures and other details. Through October to January, many universities will be open to applications. It is best to be up to date with the deadlines and do the needful in time. If you’re applying for early decision, you’ll likely need to complete your entire application by November. Otherwise, you’ll have until the end of December or beginning of January to submit for regular admissions. File all the paperwork before February and colleges will start responding in May. Keep track of all acceptance letters, rejection letters, and waitlists that you receive. If you received acceptance from any colleges you don’t wish to attend, notify them promptly as a courtesy to your other fellow applicants. Compare financial aid packages, campus features, and academics to help make the decision on where you will enroll.Do not rush an application just to apply early. If your essay is not as polished as it could be, or you are taking the SAT or ACT at a later date when you will be more prepared, applying early will not make up for a lower test score; so apply when your application is complete and as strong as possible.Hope this helps.

What happens to students if the whole of a university campus razes in a fire down to ashes?

Universities are built of many buildings not touching each other and built mainly of brick and concrete. It would be almost impossible for a fire to take out an entire university.However in 2005 I think it was when a hurricane hit New Orleans, several universities and colleges were flooded out. In this case, hundreds of other schools elsewhere in the country offered free spaces to thousands of the displaced students at no charge for the semester giving them the courses they needed to stay on track. There was no issue with grades being lost as every school had proper disaster plans in place. I know my daughter’s school which only had 1100 students in total took in more than 10 themselves.I was living in Los Angeles then and over a thousand were taken in by schools in LA as well as a large number of musicians. Overall the post secondary educational system came together on their own and helped out the students in New Orleans and gave the post secondary schools there enough time to clean up properly.

How do I get into university with bad grades?

Universities are worried that students with bad grades will either struggle with the content (and therefore do badly and drop out), or they won’t work hard (and therefore do badly and drop out). Students getting bad grades or not completing the course looks bad for the university, whereas having students that work hard, do well, and go on to be successful looks great for the university. So you need to prove that your previous bad grades don’t mean that you will be the former kind of student in the future by proving that you are capable and willing to work hard and do well!Other posters have mentioned community college - doing well at other courses (Community College or otherwise) can be a great way to prove that you are willing to work hard and capable of mastering the material! Universities are always most interested in your most recent grades. If you can get good grades now that can offset previous poor grades.Work experience is another way! If you do very well at work, that can prove to the university that you’re willing to work hard. Volunteering, getting involved in projects related to the course you want to study, and genuinely proving your interest and your work ethic can go a long way to convincing universities of your potential! If you want to study a subject, and you went out of your way to work on a project related to that subject, and did well at that, that would be directly relevant to your application!If there are any tests involved in your application (e.g. SAT, GMAT, etc), acing those can also help mitigate a poor GPA.Good luck!

Should I mention my university's bad reputation for malpractice in exam paper checking as the reason for my average grades in my SOP for an MS application?

It would be a disaster if you did. The program you're applying for, is not only looking at your research works but also your background I.e. the institution you graduate from. You saying terrible things about your university impairs your chances and also makes a terrible name for your home institution making it hard for future students. Since, you writing that on your SOP does you more bad than good and also has implications on other's future, you should resist the temptation of writing that.

What happens if a university professor loses all the exams he has to grade?

I have known of two cases in which exam problems affected the whole class.One was at Duke Law school, where a professor left Duke to teach at another school, and didn't bother to grade the finals. After several months of fruitless negotiation, the school gave every student an administrative pass.In a situation at Temple Law School, a professor died after the exam was taken but before it was graded. After some discussion, it was considered unfair to have a different professor grade the exams, because that professor would not have known precisely what was taught. Again, all the students were given an administrative pass.In both cases, some students were very happy because they thought they had done poorly, and others were frustrated, because they thought they done well. In both cases, the students' feelings were not the controlling factor.When I took organic chem at Penn, if you missed an exam, your grade was simply omitted, and you were graded on the other exams according to the appropriate formula. It was felt that allowing you to make up the exam a week later gave you an unfair advantage over other students.In the rare instance where a single exam is lost, there is no fair solution. Having to retake the exam a month later, when it's determined that the exam is missing, interferes with the student's next semester. The student feels the burden of having to study forgotten material, and the professor feels the burden of having to make up a whole new exam, since the old one will have been discussed by then. (In law school, unlike undergrad, it is common to wait a month for your grades, and until then, no one would realize that the exam was missing. As an undergrad, it might seem less unfair, since the omission might be discovered before other grades and the test itself were released.)
