Please read the essay it is relevant.
I just finished high school.. I am going to start Electrical and Electronics Engineering course in a crap university, I neither like the university nor the subject, but this is the best I can get as there is no other option in my country and I don't have sufficient savings to study abroad...
I want to go to graduate school (preferably top) in USA, I am interested in renewable energy, that's the field I will be aiming at... I am willing and motivated to do the hard work in the undergraduate level to keep my GPA among the top of the class and definitely above 3.8...
Apart from the fact that I am undertaking a degree from a very low ranking (5600+ world ranking) uni, I will also need full funding. ..
To make my application stand out I am planning to take GRE Physics and Mathematics subject tests apart from GRE reasoning test.. As my major will be in Engineering I don't think my uni courses will cover the GRE Physics and Mathematics syllabus, so apart from uni work I have to do a lot of Physics and Mathematics self teaching... I am comfortable with self teaching and I might have a few helping hands so I think it will be managable, I am very interested in Maths and Physics so I won't be doing it solely for the marks, I love to study Physics and Maths, If I had the choice I would major in Physics...
Sorry for the essay, but I think I needed to explain the whole situatioin,
#What would you suggest me to be successful in undergraduate level apart from hard work and keeping high GPA?
#What are GRE Mathematics and Physics like? How are they for non Physics or Mathematics graduates?
#I have about 4 and a half years before I graduate, what should I do to have the best shot at competative graduate schools with funding?
#What would you advice me to do?
#Is high school grades/gpa relevant to graduate school admission? I have been suffering from depression for the last 12 months or so and I don't think I will achieve the grades I am capable of achieving.. The depression was academic related, it was because I couldn't get the best of undergraduate education because of money (there is hardly any scholarship that covers full costs at undergrad level), when all of my classmates have already got a place in USA/Canada/UK unis, academics was everything to me and after I came face to face with the reality I couldn't accept it, I felt like a failure, and it felt like I would never be able to fulfill my dreams...
Thank you.
