Can you check my eligibility for universities based on my academic scores in UAE/USA for a Bachelor's/Master's?
Eligibility for UAE or USA universities is assessed on your high school GPA or percentage, curriculum board such as CBSE or IB, and SAT or ACT scores for a Bachelor's. For a Master's, universities assess your undergraduate GPA, major, and IELTS or TOEFL scores.
Your eligibility for universities in the UAE and the USA comes down to a handful of specific numbers, and the fastest way to get a real answer is to hand over your actual scores rather than general details. Bachelor's applicants need their school-leaving marks and standardized test scores, while Master's applicants need their undergraduate GPA and English proficiency scores. Share the details below with your counsellor and you will get a precise eligibility check instead of a generic estimate.
Information Needed for an Accurate Eligibility Check
| Study Level | What You Should Share |
|---|---|
| Bachelor's | High school GPA or percentage (or predicted grades), curriculum board such as American, British A-Levels, IB, or CBSE, and SAT/ACT scores if applicable |
| Master's | Undergraduate degree GPA or percentage, major field of study, and English proficiency scores (IELTS/TOEFL) |
Why Each Detail Matters
- Your curriculum board tells universities how to convert your grades into their own scale, since a CBSE percentage and an IB score are read very differently.
- SAT or ACT scores matter most for US universities and some UAE branch campuses that follow an American-style admissions process.
- Your undergraduate major and GPA decide which Master's programs you qualify for directly versus which ones need bridging courses.
- English test scores confirm you meet the minimum language bar, which most UAE and USA programs set between 6.0 and 6.5 IELTS or equivalent.
My Advice
Gather your marksheets and test scores today rather than working from rough estimates, since exact numbers match you to universities where you comfortably clear the cutoff instead of ones where you are a stretch case. If you have not taken the SAT, ACT, IELTS, or TOEFL yet, fix your target intake first and build a testing timeline backwards from it so testing does not delay your application.
