[QUOTE=amannan;683774]hey guys, can any one of you guide me ?
I am doing bachelors in Civil Engineering. I have, like almost everyone, planned to apply for Fulbright scholarship program. I can go through GRE on my own, as its easy and the pattern is some how similar to university entrance tests.
The thing which is consistently bothering me is 'how should I write the personal statement? '. In this regard i want some help, I went through some Google to find out some sample personal statements. I found some from Romania and Taiwan, but still I am having swirls.
[B]Can any one here post a sample statement ?[/B]
[B]and Can any tell me, can I go through GRE during my BE ?[/B]

Thanks in advance :)[/QUOTE]

Sorry for replying you late.
GRE general is almost like university entrance tests.
I do not have the knowledge regarding venues. And, for preparation you can get many books online in pdf format. Dont go for a single book, you should go for atleast 2 books.
ETS official preparation book is good, and for mock tests download Powerprep software by ETS.

You are ineligible if either of your parents, your spouse or your fiance holds American nationality.

Hi,

Does anyone know, how many Hec attested copies of university degrees and transcripts must be sent along with full-bright application ? Because number is not mentioned anywhere in the application form.
