- Kofi Kankam expert They're not absolutely necessary, but they do make a big difference. It does depend on the quality of the institution. Typically at selective universities, candidates have to to have done reasonably well in their prior studies - top 30% at a minimum. {{ 1429153312534+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my Eric Allen likes this

- Kofi Kankam expert Hi Sayok - the programs will try to get a feel for your class rank. If you are basically in the top 25% of your class (which I think a 7.7 is), then you are in good shape with regard to your grades. But, you need to also focus on other items like your activities and your test scores. {{ 1429711976323+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my Eric Allen , anonymous like this

Also, you may want to try the WES grade conversion tool. Sometimes it's a bit off - every school has their own system, but it generally gives you directionally-correct information. https://www.wes.org/gradeconversionguide/

- anonymous alum thanks to both mr kankam and mr Allen...just one more question...trying to get into a top 50 college ...do i need to have publications for that /what is the standard GRE score i need to get in order to get into these colleges {{ 1430126776410+1-1 | date : 'short' }}

- Eric Allen expert Not EXACTLY sure about your question, but I will give it a try. Each school usually publishes a GRE average or a middle 50% range for GRE , so you should be able to find the score on their site. Other resources include US News and World Report, Bloomberg Business Week, FT.com. {{ 1430135652879+1-1 | date : 'short' }}

- Kofi Kankam expert Sayok - those averages vary for the top 50 biomedical engineering programs. You should take a look at the individual programs. Undergrad matters a bit, but as long as you have done well (which you have), you will have a shot. {{ 1430145541007+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my anonymous likes this
