Can I get admission into US universities with backlogs?

What is backlog?

If you don’t clear (pass) your exam paper on your first attempt, then it is considered a backlog subject (paper).

Can we apply to universities abroad with backlogs?

Yes, we can apply to universities abroad with backlogs, but not with active backlogs!

Scribbled Underline

US universities prefer applicants with No backlogs.

Universities may accept your application if the subject (paper) on which you failed was not a major one.

But most universities in the US will accept a maximum of 5 backlogs.   However, some universities accept a maximum of 10-15 backlogs.

There is always a chance that students with up to 10-15 backlogs will be accepted at some universities if they achieve a high GRE score (310–325).

Final thoughts
