Help!!!!...Desparately need good advice regarding Visa and Masters Admission !

[redwitch1987]

Hello Everyone

New Here.

I completed my Bachelor in Arts ( Subjects- General English, Functional English, History and Culture of Panjab, Sociology and elective English) in 2010 with 57%. Currently I'm doing a 1 year PG Diploma in Social Work from IGNOU. Its a one year diploma. I really love the health aspect of Social Work plus I also love research.I scored around 56% in class 10th and around 66% in class 12th.

Therefore I want to pursue Masters in Public Health but unfortunately Indian universities doesn't offer Masters in Public Health to students from a non science background, however Canada does. Therefore I want to go Canada to do MPH. Plus a Canadian degree is very much valued in India. I'm thinking about taking a partial loan against FDs or property.

There are two major problems which I will probably face_

1. Getting into a good university with a three year degree and low GPA. However I'm pretty certain that I'll score well in my IELTS and GRE.

2. I'm afraid that my Visa might get rejected since I'm from a non science background and yet am applying to a programme somewhat related to science.

What shall I do ? What are my options? One of the counselors I met suggested that I should apply to some other course. But I don't want to do so since I'm only going to Canada because the path I want to choose inst available in India. Also please suggest some good , genuine study abroad consultants in Delhi.Plz plz plz help me !!!!

1. If u score good in GRE and IELTS it will add to your case, but previous academics also counts.
2. If you change you field in proposed course following things can help you.

a. You are currently doing job in the proposed field.
b. Your proposed course is the demand of your current Job.
c. You have got previous education in the same field.
d. You are admitted to a very high standing school.
and
e. You can write an SOP explaining your situation...........

Yeah you are absolutely right about consultants. No body I spoke to has adequate knowledge regarding education in Canada. I felt as if they were promoting UK and Australia. I saw timeout a you tube video on Canam website regarding education in Canada and was pretty impressed. I thought that they would be able to counsel well but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

And thanks I'll definitely do that.
