Fall 2013 | MS CS | GRE 317(Q-161, V-156, AWA 5) | TOEFL 115 | UG-8.5 | VTU-PESIT
Hi,
I want to apply for Fall 2013. My GRE scores are as above (in title). My undergrad CGPA is 8.5/10. GRE scores translate to Q=770 and V=550 on the older scale.
Following is the list of universities I have made:
- SUNY Stony Brook
- USC
- UC San Diego
- UCLA
- Texas A&M
- Arizona State University
- Georgia Tech
- University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
- University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- North Carolina State University
- University of California - Santa Barbara
- University of Arizona - Tucson
- UT Austin
- UC - Irvine
- Rutgers
- SUNY Buffalo
My brief profile:
1) Internship & project - Developed an automation framework for company
2) Internship - Android App Development
3) Work Experience - 2 years till Fall 2013. Role: Software Engineer.
4) Projects at college:
a) Developed a photo-sharing website using LAMP
b) Cloud computing project
c) Music Technology - Synthesizer app using Python
d) Developed a functional Linux shell
5) Wrote one healthcare-related research paper at workplace. Submitted for one conference. yet to receive their confirmation.
6) 10/10 GPA in final semester at college
Interested in machine learning & data mining (I like both. So, not completely decided on which).
Two more questions:
1) Recommentations: Among the recommendation from office and ones from college, which would weigh heavier? I will have 2 years work ex by Fall 2013. I am kind of iffy about getting recommendations from office. But if it weighs more than getting it from a senior lecturer, then I can do it.
2) I have good TOEFL and GRE AWA scores. Would it give me some advantage to my application?
So, is this a good list? Please evaluate my profile. Do make suggestions of other suitable schools. Awaiting your reply. Thank you!
