Normally for any sincere student who is willing to put 4 to 5 hours a day, a tow month period is ideal for preparing and reaching one's peak performance.

We don't have a batch system. The day you join, your training starts. We offer a series of lectures which cover all the aspects of the examination that you will appear for. This is an ongoing process, although after about 6 to 7 weeks you go into the test mode and start taking the paper tests. The last 3 weeks of the training schedule are reserved for computer practice sessions.

We open at 10:00 in the morning and close at 6:30 in the evening. We operate from our own premises firstly, you are made to clear the fundamentals and then given the tests in which we judge your performance in the appropreate sections.

No problem at all. Since we don't a have batch system and since every thing is cyclical, you can switch the time slots as many times as you want. But let me warn you, it is in your interest that you stick to a certain time schedule as it would ensure that you cover the entire study material a proper manner.

We have computers with software loaded and I advice you to start practising on the computer in the last 3 weeks of your training scheduel. Remember that the bottomline for any test is knowing how to get the right answer with a shorcut and in the quickest possible time. If you attend my lecutures regularly and also take a lot of paper tests you will acquire these skills.

I am afraid, we don't have any branch. As explained earlier being at one place enables me to be with the students all 6 days a week, hours a day. If I open a branch I will not be able to offer such an exhaustive package.

Look! If I give you any guarantee and then you join me, it will mean only two things-I am a con man and you are a naive person. But yes, as a customer, you have every right to knwo how our system will help you maximise your potential. We are very transparent about it. So please drop in at our premises and meet any student of ours to find out how sincerely, consistently and intelligently we train them.

My toppers have got 740 in GMAT, 2360 in GRE, 1600 in SAT and 300 in TOEFL. But wait a minute, I don't want you to join me just like that. These toppers may have excelled because they were very regular, sincere and they had followed my instructions implicitly. So what I can assure you is an excellent output subject to your sincere efforts over three months.

Prof. Narsee recommends that unless you are very certain that the early decision schools is the one you would like to seek admissions to, do not opt for an early decision an school should be your top choice in your list of schools and one that you can afford.

As part of the application procedure every University will require you to send recommendation letters. These letters are recommendations from teacher's/ professor's who have taught you at school/college. The letter must reflect on your academic potential and your ability to successfully complete the degree at your respective school/college.

A recommendation form is a part of the application package that the University sends you. It is a set format of questions, which the professors who have taught you will answer. The Admissions Committee will evaluate their responses when considering your admissions.

We have formulated a simple 3-step procedure to complete the recommendation letters process:

> Select three people who you can approach for recommendation letters or some universities may specifically state which teachers you need to approach, i.e. your science and math teacher would be the recommenders for an engineering or science major.

> Take the recommendation form provided by Univ. to the recommending teacher and ask them to fill up the leter. The recommendation letter must be sealed in an envelope with the recommender's sign across the flap.

> Mail the recommendation letter to your Universities. Provide your teacher's with the mailing envelope. In some cases the teacher will hand you the sealed envelope, which you can mail with the rest of your application package. Do not under any circumstance tamper with the sealed envelope.

You need to have your recommendation letters ready well in advance of your application deadline date. Ensure that you have given enough time to your professor/teacher, as most teachers are busy,or may not be available during the vacations. it would be a good idea to complete all your work two or three months in advance to avoid any difficulties at the last minute.

A transcript is a summary of your academic grades, the number of hours per week that a subject has been taught at class, the marks you have obtained, the maximum marks along with an explanation of the grading system that your college follows.

Yes. Please make transcripts for these courses as well. These transcripts must be confidential, typed on the institute's letterhead, attested in original, placed in an envelope with the stamp across the sealed flap. They must also include the number of hours per week and an explanation on the grading system followed. The best thing to do for programs that do not get certified from a university and are from private institutions is - enclose a photocopy of the syllabus, attested by the institute.

Usually the transcripts are done in the School/College office you have attended. You need to go to the registrar's office to obtain official transcripts.

No, do not make your own transcript. The college must prepare one for you. In case your college does not have a transcript, show them our sample and ask them to make one along the same lines. The transcripts must be typed on the institute's letterhead.

The registrar's/principal signature is needed on the transcript and on the sealed envelope.

The mark-sheet is what you have obtain after your examinations and reflects your performance for the same. The transcript is more comprehensive than the mark-sheet as it incorporates additional features such as the number of hours per week that a particular course is conducted, the number of years your course in spread over and an explanation of the grading system followed by your college.

Yes. The transcript states the number of years it takes for a student to complete a degree.If you do not declare your grades for a particular semester it will be apparent that you have not cleared the the course in the appropriate time frame.

In your timetable you will have a set number of lectures per week for each subject. For example you may have 3 lectures a week for English. In the academic year you may have 52 weeks. The school/college should have a fixed schedule for all courses.

Grade Point Average or GPA as it is popularly known, is an American term. The student's academic progress and potential is assessed on a four-point scale.

Extra curricular activities enchance the all round development of your personality-primarily your communication and social skills, team skills, leadership skilla. These activities enable you to develop your talents and your self-confidence, to which the American educational system allocates a high degree of importance.

In some application forms you may have space to fill in any 6 activities that you particularly enjoy. In this case, start with the activity that is the most important to you and which is most meaningful to you. You may be needed to calculate the number of hours per week that you have participated in a particular activity. This is a very simple procedure that we will explain to you with the help of an example.

If you have participated in athletic meets, you will have trained for perhaps 3 months prior to the meet. 3 months is equivalent to 12 weeks. In each week you may have practiced for 3 days. On any given day you may have trained for 3 hours. Hence you have practiced for 3 hours on 3 days in a week. This is equivalent to 9 hours a week. Hence you simply fill in 9 hours per week for 12 weeks per year.
