your school did not use a 4.0 GPA scale, use the table below to help determine how your school's grading scale
translates into a GPA.

4.0 Scale A-F 100-0 1-5 Four passing Grades Three Passing Grades

4.0 A 90-100 1 Highest passing grade Highest passing grade

3.0-3.9 B 80-89 2 Second highest passing grade Middle passing grade

How to Calculate GPA?


If a student seeking admission to graduate studies hails from a different system i.e. India, Pakistan etc. he/she
should clearly mention that GPA system does not exist and give an alternative score subject to their respective
scale. It is recommended to send your rank certificate/ Official Average score of class/Toppers grades etc to ease
difference between GPA and your system. There is no other way to calculate GPA. A conversion between Indian and
American GPA system is given below is just an indicative how you can compare them.

Why Study Abroad?


The advantages of studying abroad are countless. Perhaps, study abroad programs
is one of the best practices of modern times, when there are simmering tensions and conflict situation
between many countries, religions and regions around the globe. On an individual level, exposure to a totally
different system of living makes you delve deep into your own choices, aims and ambitions. It is in fact a
process of self discovery. It creates a global personality out of you, with a deep respect for other cultures, and a
greater understanding and appreciation of your own culture and way of living.

Understanding Benefits of Studying Abroad


Today, a host of countries offer many studying options, and attract global student community towards their
academic programs. It can positively affect the academic, social, cultural, personal and professional life of a
student.

Academic Benefits
Students who pursue courses abroad, are found to have a much clearer vision about their goals and way of
achieving those. It helps foster greater inter-cultural communication, understanding, and tolerance for
students from different academic or social backgrounds. You tend to develop a multidimensional view of your
studies and approaches, which helps in getting the concepts understood in an excellent manner. In case, you
are planning to learn foreign languages or some cultural studies, going to the place where it is practiced, is the
best form of learning. It creates a mature perspective of life and certainly interesting prospect for getting a
globally acceptable qualification.

Social and Cultural Benefits


During the initial course of the study in a distant land, you may come across people and places who are totally
strangers, but turn to be very good friends by the time the course is completed. You begin to appreciate
different lifestyles and develop some really useful contacts abroad. Helping nature, better team work, knowing
and respecting the manners and habits of self as well as other people, an enhanced problem solving ability
with respect to adaptability and performing well on different platforms are some crucial and life changing
experiences. You tend to be several steps ahead of your colleagues and competitors in understanding
globalization and its impact on your own living.

Personal and Professional Benefits


In your daily life at homeland, there might be a variety of individuals with different sets of opinion, meeting
you. Quite often, there are two categories of people. One type is extremely critical of the local place and every
aspect of life in your country and the other would be certain people who believe that their (your) country is
the best in the world, thus avoiding other countries as though they are simply not good to sustain life. Even
you may fall in one of these categories. But one of the biggest benefits of studying abroad is that you begin to
realize in a much clear and elaborate way, that no system in the world is perfect. It may foster a deeper and a
clearer knowledge of your own land. You appreciate certain ways of life back home and at the same time learn
from certain excellent living principles of other nations.

For instance, you may hate the diet constituents of your place, which in fact is highly nourishing. If you
happen to stay in a place where people barely eat healthy food, perhaps you may appreciate the food habits at
your own place like never before. This is true with respect to social, economic, cultural and developmental
aspect of your own society. You begin to accept your own land as it is, love its good aspects and strive to
eliminate any of its anomalies. Professionally, you thrive in any region and condition because of a broader and
matured perspective about similarities and differences of lifestyles.

To sum up, studying abroad helps you to become a more responsible global citizen and enhance the quality
of your own life as well as of those around you.

Achievers Point Counselling Service


We understand that applying to a university or school miles away is not a cake walk. It takes a whole lot of your time, research
and prudence at every step, right from selecting the perfect universities to suit your needs (and whose needs you suit!) to the much erratic
visa process. We streamline your international application process by helping you take each step, right and on time. The Achievers Point
Admission Cell is a one-stop centre for applying to universities abroad for all undergraduate, graduate, MBA, and PhD studies. We help you

there is one perfect-fit university for you, and we will help you get there.

• Apply early: While you are preparing for your exams we can prepare your SOP, recommendation letters etc.
• While applying abroad, the earlier you apply, the better your chances of admissions and financial aid.
• Adequate research time: Starting early gives you time to research your universities thoroughly before you apply.

Profiling/Selecting universities & programs


University Short listing: A question uppermost on most minds is – “Why
would I need professional advice on anything as mundane as short-
listing?” The answer is rather simple. An application to a US university
needs investment in the form of time, money and structured intellectual
inputs. The application process in any university is an expensive and
complicated process. In addition, the universities selected must match
one’s context and aspirations as well as one where the probability of
admission is maximal. Therefore, it is imperative that one rightly selects
the number of universities that one applies to. This is where we come in.
On, the basis of your academic background, your financial position, your
scores in standardized tests, and most importantly your ambitions, we
short-list five universities where your potentials will be leveraged
optimally, and also where your chances of admissions are bright.
We understand that you want nothing but the best for yourself. So we
lead you towards it. From the plethora of schools, our experienced
Admission Counselors help you shortlist the ones that match your profile
and of course, your preference, to the extent possible.

We classify the schools into ‘Dream schools' - where you stand less
than or up to 50% chances of obtaining admission, ‘Reach schools' -
you have fairly good chances i.e. 50 to 80 % chances and ‘Safe schools'
ACHIEVERSPOINT.COM, INDIA’s #1 STUDY ABROD MEGASITE

- these are the safety nets in which you fall with more than 80% chances of admission.
What we do is a reality check - a check of your scores, credentials, work experiences, your stature as compared to other applicants, etc.
Based on this, we give you a short list of schools, categorically (as in dream, reach and safe). Our counselors help you in the decision
making, by doing the much tedious research for you, furnishing with the pros and cons of applying to a particular school and also answering
your queries, on all issues and at all times. The final discretion in selecting the schools is yours.

Pre - Application Process & Admission Formalities:


* What is GPA that US universities request for in the application forms?
* What should be the timing of my admission formalities?
* Preparing your all documents which include application forms, transcripts.
* Submitting your applications.
* Post application follow ups.
* Access to the network of students studying in universities abroad.

Availing Scholarships/Financial Aid/Jobs:


* We exploring various financing options available i.e. Scholarship, Financial Help etc
* Preparing your all documents which include financial aid applications, transcripts, and financial statements.

Editing essays, SOPs, LORs and building your resume


Your resume is the first document in line for creating an impression on the Admissions Committee. It should be crisp and clear,
incorporating the relevant information about you. We help you make the perfect resume for creating that positive first impression on the
Admissions Committee.

Your application essays and statements of purpose (SOPs) become


your alter-ego in front of the Admissions Committees! Well drafted
essays highlight yourself awareness level and help you build a case for
studying at that particular school. These are instrumental in helping the
Admissions Committee gauge your suitability and weighing up whether
you are ready for study at their particular school. Essays for
Undergraduate applicants and B-School applicants can be on a variety
of highly demanding topics ranging from something as simple as ‘What
are your career plans?' to something as insightful as ‘Write a review on
your favorite book.' Our Editing Consultants help you sail through these
essays and SOPs smoothly, by magnifying your strengths and toning
down your weaknesses. They help you make your essays and SOPs as
individualistic and convincing as possible to maximize the probability of
getting you into the best schools.

Guidance for Essay Writing:


The admission process requires a Statement of Purpose and/or a
Personal Essay and/or other Institution-specific essays. We, at
Achievers Point, advise you on writing these essays, and provide you
with guidance on how to structure your responses. More than guiding
you on what needs to be written, our experts will caution you on what
should NOT be written in these essays. This is because the people
administrating the admissions process human and it is only when your
essay relates to their human subjectivity that you get guarantied
success.
Advice on Letter of Recommendation formats. We advise you on the best formats for getting a Letter of Recommendation written. Moreover,
we help you with another kind of short-listing – short-listing of the best recommenders from numerous possible people. We advise you on
what areas should you urge your recommenders to stress on while writing you letter of recommendation. In letters of recommendation as in
statements of purpose some areas are best left unwritten, and this is one area where our guidance will help you a lot.

Application Filling
Application forms could be simple as well as complex. When it comes to the latter lot, our Admission Counselors tell you what goes in the
application and what doesn't, and where. We let you know everything there is to know about the applications. And after you are done, we
review your application, for errors, if any. You send your applications only after you are sure that it is devoid of all inconsistencies and
errors. Also, we help you write to-the-point cover letters. We know how important the applications are. So we leave no room for any benefits
of doubt.

Application Process: We take care of all the areas of the application process where we do not require your physical presence. This is an
important facet of our admissions counseling. We assure you that we will make no mistakes while entering any information given to us by
you. Since applying for students is a routine process for us, we have complete understanding of the same and our applications will pre-empt
any confusions or errors on your part.

Interview Preparation
Our Interview Trainers train you to walk-the-talk, that is, come across to the interview panel as good and polished as your written
documents. Through the mock face-to-face interview sessions as well as telephonic interviews, they monitor your verbal as well as non-
verbal communication skills, your overall personality, motivation and confidence and give you their valuable feedback and suggestions to
iron away creases, if any. They train you to walk well, as well as talk well!

Visa Counseling:
This is the most critical aspect of the entire admission process
chain. A Visa-application cannot be made, unless one has a
confirmed admission, and one will not be going to the University,
unless one has a Visa. There are numerous instances where
deserving students’ dreams were shattered on account of Visa
rejection. We help our clients in their Visa applications by providing
guidance and coaching them on how they should conduct
themselves during the Visa application process.
When you get that long awaited call from one of the coveted
schools, you get mixed feelings - of happiness for getting selected
and of anxiety, as you are looking forward to the unpredictable visa
issues. The content of the communication between the student and
the visa officer is quite critical. Imagine successfully applying to
several outstanding institutions and gaining admission to them, only
to falter at the last hurdle – the visa application process!!

Our Visa Counseling Service has designed a unique ‘360 degree


Approach', wherein a credible case is developed for the student
regarding how a university in the U.S. is an appropriate
intermediate destination en route to a successful career in India.
There are a myriad of value-added elements included in our Visa
Counseling Service, such as the advisory on the selection of
relevant documents, and on the appropriate presentation of finances. The Head of our Visa Counseling department was heading the visa
section of the US embassy at retirement.

Research:
When we talk of 2000 colleges in the United States itself, it is apparent that we are extremely voracious information guzzlers. We try and
explore various options for our clients in order to give them alternatives that are better than what they already have. On a less abstract note,
we research on schools around the world to give our clients more opportunities. We research on newer, more dynamic courses. We
research on better methods to prepare for tests. In sum, we research on what our customers need the most.

Seminars and Information Sessions


You never fall short of admission and university related queries when applying to the universities abroad. Available information on internet
and elsewhere is overwhelming and pretty much answers your queries. But how about the first-hand information straight from the Admission
Director of the university you are applying to!

Achievers Point organizes exclusive seminars and information sessions for you in liaison with the foreign universities; so that you may have
access to the most reliable information and can have your doubts clarified pertaining to any stage of the application process of the
concerned university. These interactive sessions are conducted by the Admission Directors of the top universities and the audience
(amongst you) is selected, either on the basis of the merit of their profiles or on ‘first-come, first-serve' basis.

Study abroad myths & misconceptions


Misinformation and outright falsehoods keep many students from even considering studying
abroad each year. Too many students mistakenly believe that there is no place in their academic plan or major for
time abroad or that study abroad is just a luxury that they can neither afford nor benefit from. Au contraire! Below
are some of the most common myths students believe about studying abroad and, more importantly, the facts that
debunk them.

Myth #1: I have to study in an English-speaking country because I don't know any foreign languages.
This is a common misconception. There are many study abroad programs that require no prior foreign language
instruction and will provide you with intensive language classes at the beginning of your stay abroad. Other
programs require just one semester of a language before you depart for a given country. It's true that the more
language background you have before you leave, the more immersed you can become once you arrive. However,
you shouldn't let lack of skills in a language stop you from studying in a particular country. Study abroad programs
in English-speaking countries are far more competitive than those in countries where other native languages
dominate. This is in part because so many students share the common misconception that their monolingualism
restricts their choices to English-speaking countries.

Myth #2: I'll have to extend my studies or won't graduate on time if I take time out to go abroad.
The fact is that you can typically earn college credits while studying abroad, both toward fulfilling general education
requirements as well as toward your major. In fact, study abroad can give your language skills such a boost that
adding a minor or even a second major in a language may require very few, if any, additional courses after you
return to your home campus. In addition to year-long programs, many universities offer semester-long or summer
programs. And if it so happens that you must delay graduation for a few months to fit in studying abroad, what you
will gain from the experience far outweighs what you think you'd be sacrificing.

Myth #3: I don't have enough money to study abroad.


Studying abroad often costs the same or even less than spending the same time at your home campus. Especially
if you study in a country that has a lower cost of living than at home, your day-to-day living expenses may be far
lower than those you are accustomed to. In addition, if you qualify for financial aid, you can still receive this aid
while studying in an credit-earning study abroad program. Because your personal contribution is assumed to be
less while abroad (since it's not expected you will be able to work while out of the country), you may even qualify
for more aid for your study abroad year. For the same reason, students who have never qualified for financial aid
may do so for the first time when they decide to study abroad.

Myth #4: I can always travel later once I have a job and am earning money. That is just as good.
ACHIEVERSPOINT.COM, INDIA’s #1 STUDY ABROD MEGASITE

Easier said than done. Once you are locked into a job and responsibilities, it's very difficult to get away for any
length of time. You may have a difficult time getting the time off from work and you probably won't be able to afford
unpaid vacation time because you will have locked yourself into long-term financial responsibilities: a car, rent
payments or a mortgage, credit cards, and family responsibilities, for example. In addition, traveling as a tourist is a
much different experience than living as an integrated part of a foreign culture. The two experiences are
incomparably different. As a tourist, you will typically be seen as an outsider. When you live in a foreign culture and
participate in its day-to-day life, you become an immersed and daily participant in the culture.

Myth #5: Only language majors study abroad.


Study abroad programs are open to students of all majors, and in fact, more social sciences, business, humanities,
and arts majors study abroad than foreign language majors. You certainly could add a language major to your
studies as a result of your study abroad units, but you will also very likely be able to earn units for other majors as
well as to fulfill general education requirements at your university.

Myth #6: Study abroad is not for everyone.


No matter what your major, gender, ethnic background, or interests, studying in a foreign country can benefit you
personally, academically, and professionally. There are a myriad of programs available around the world. There
are sure to be several that suit your needs and interests.

Myth #7: Study abroad is a luxury.


Some students (and their parents) believe that studying abroad is not really studying. Quite the contrary! It's true
that the academic setting will probably be different than what you are used to, but that doesn't make it any less
valuable. In addition to the formal instruction you receive, numerous learning experiences will happen outside the
classroom - experiences you would never get at your home college or university. The entire experience abroad will
change your life as well as enhance your resume and employment potential. In fact, international experience is
increasingly important for those seeking a job in an global economy that relies on good relations and the ability to
communicate with diverse peoples around the world.
If you talk to anybody who has ever studied abroad, they will likely tell you that any worries or concerns they had
before they departed melted away once they arrived in their host country. They will confirm to you that their
experience was well worth any extra expense or time it may have taken and that the benefits they have
experienced as a result are more numerous and lasting than they ever could have imagined.

Canadian Immigration
Canada uses a point system to assess all Independent/Skilled Worker applicants. To be eligible for permanent residence in Canada, you
must obtain at least 67 points in the point assessment.

HOW THE POINTS ARE DETERMINED: There are six factors to consider in pre-determining how many points you should receive:
1. Education (maximum 25 points), You must have a college or university degree.
- College or Bachelor: 22 points - Master/PhD: 25 points
2. Languages (English and/or French)(maximum 25 points):
- First language: 16 points - Second language: 8 points
3. Work Experience (maximum 21 points)
- 1 year: 15 points - 2 years: 17 points - 3 years: 19 points - 4 years: 21 points
4. Age (maximum 10 points)
You will get the maximum of 10 if you are between 21 and 44. If you are under 18 or older than 48, you will get zero for age. If you are 18
or 47, you score only 4 points for age.
5. Arranged Employment in Canada
Valid Job offer will bring you 10 points
6. Adaptability (maximum 10 points) : Including previous work or study in Canada, arranged employment, relative in Canada and
partner’s education. Suitability determined in the interview after you apply to immigrate to Canada as a skilled immigrate applicant.

Note: Quebec has some additional requirements for immigrants: basically amounting to that they want you to speak French. Many of the
other provinces also have a say in what types of skills their looking for in immigrants, and the points system will be tailored for that
provinces needs.

IELTS Score: If the score in the language test is between band 7.0 and 9.0, then four immigration points are awarded for that parameter.
It is important to note that the immigration points are awarded for each individual parameter and not just the overall band and then added
up. If score is between band 5.0 to 6.9, two immigration points are awarded. If score is less than band 5.0, no immigration points are
awarded for that parameter.
