ANS: Yes!! Why not? I have seen many people getting scholarships with medium CGPA. - How is student selection performed??
ANS: ****Every Program has its different Criteria and selection rules, follow the program website. In my program Medical Imaging and Applications (http://maiamaster.udg.edu/) MAIA, What they write in the Reply to this question in their FAQ is given below
How is student selection performed? The final mark is obtained as a weighted sum of (i) your CPGA and CV, (ii) your motivation letter reviewed by two members of the consortium independently, and (iii) your evaluation from the two referees you select (they fill in a questionnaire and send us a reference letter which is again evaluated from two members of the consortium). With all this information, we obtain a final mark of each student and do the ranking, taking the nationality rules (only two from the same country) into account. ****Every Program has its different Criteria and selection rules, follow the program website 3. I don’t have any publications. Should I Apply? ANS: Neither do I have any publication. Having publications is always a plus point but not mandatory. ***working experience in similar fields added value to your application.
4. What Should I focus on SOP??
ANS: read the program website more than five times, try to understand what does the program wants in a potential participant. Figure those things out first. The next thing would be making your SOP in that way that the reader would feel you have those things in you, and your CV would be the brief version of your motivation letter. For example, your CV would be Index of your book and your Motivation will have intro” about you, details”> about your skills” showing your interest to the sub” last the conclusion why u are the IDEAL CANDIDATE for this program.
