What is the minimum GPA to get into a very good grad school in Engineering ?
-
I'm currently an undergrad in Sri Lanka, and want to get into a very good grad school for Engineering in the US (like MIT, stanford, caltech etc). Our GPA system is slightly different from the system in the US. 4.2 - A+ - greater than 85% in your assessment 4.0 - A - 75 - 85% 3.7 - A- - 70 - 75% 3.3 - B+ - 65 - 70% and the rest goes on. I currently have a GPA of about 4.1. I've read from a lot of sources on the internet that you need to maintain a GPA greater than 3.8-3.9 to get into a really good grad school. The issue is that I don't know how our system compares to system in the US. I would like to know 1) what my chances of getting into a good grad school are ? 2) what minimum GPA I need to maintain in order to have a decent chance of getting in ? I've also got about 8 months of research experience. What else are the important factors to get in ?, How important are your GRE scores (are the GRE scores for English important ?) Given that I'm a non-US citizen I guess I need to be exceptional to get in - just how exceptional do I need to be ?

Answer:
You need a US 3.0 or better to get into any grad school in the USA. Your GRE score is very important as is the TOEFL for you. It will also cost you about $30,000 to $65,000 per year.
