SUMMARY

A Libyan mechanical engineering graduate from Sebha University with a percentage of 72.56% faces challenges in gaining admission to a top 15 U.S. university. The discussion highlights that while applications are possible, the average percentage and the non-U.S. university background may hinder acceptance, particularly for competitive master's programs. Additional qualifications, such as research experience, are crucial for improving admission prospects.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of U.S. university admission criteria for international students
  • Familiarity with the Mechanical Engineering master's program requirements
  • Knowledge of standardized tests like the GRE or MCAT
  • Awareness of the importance of research experience in graduate applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research U.S. university admission requirements for international students
  • Explore GRE preparation resources and testing dates
  • Investigate opportunities for research experience in mechanical engineering
  • Identify universities with flexible admission criteria for international applicants
USEFUL FOR

International students, particularly those from Libya, aspiring to pursue a master's degree in mechanical engineering at competitive U.S. universities.

PLEASE REPLY ON ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
THANKING YOU

top 15? probably not . . . have you even taken the MCAT exam?
 
I think he meant Master's degree, And no. You can apply, of course, but I am skeptical. That's a very average percentage if memory serves me right and you will already have trouble finding a spot because it is a non-US university. Little-known university abroad, combined with average marks (unless you've done some good work since then, like research or something) make it hard to even get into a mechE master's program, much less a top 15 ranked one.
