Thread: profile evaluation for applying to univ for spring 2013

ur profiles is quite decent. can i knw why u wanna apply for spring?

Spring admissions are tough. in sense, the intake is lesser, all courses aren available and surely aid is almost nil.

Wit ur profile, IF u applied for FALL, ur approx chances would be :-

ASU - moderate
UTD - good chacnes (but apply well in advance)
Akron - safe to mod (but am not very sure so pls verify this)
Houston - mod (competition in terms of indian applicants)
SUNY - mod (same reason as above)
LSU - sould be safe
clemson - safe
Arkansas - safe/mod (quite a few indians go here)....

U could try Iowa state, UNCC, as well.

i couldnt apply for fall so thought of applying for spring hmm...how would be Northeastern university and university of Toledo.These both universities are safe for my profile i guess .I am planning to apply for anyone of these universities which would be better?

Northeastern any day! It has great location advantage....ur neighbor unis will be - mit, Boston, Harvard, Cambridge, university of Massachusetts :-D

PLs, do a proper research on uni based on ur area of interest. coz most of uni, u've chosen aren't doing good when it comes PS or controls.
U may get an admit from all the unis(ones u've shortlisted) but there shud be some value for every $ u spend on that uni. I've seen ppl regretting after coming here, no use. So, spend some time researching on unis n come out with a better list of unis.
1) ASU---->top notch for Power sys.
2) UTD---->okish
3)university of Akron---->replace
4) university of Houston---->okish
5)SUNNY Buffalo----> not good for EE
6)LSU----->replace
7)clemson university---->was good for Controls few years back.
8)university of arkansas fayetteville ---->replace.

check these:
-washington state uni--->(member of PSERC & has SEL research lab, good research)--->moderate
-uni of wisc madison---->( excellent research in microgrid & renewble energy)-->ambi
-NCSU----->(best in power electronics)--->ambi(as per fall2012)
-OSU---->(v good in power electronics & drives)---->ambi
-Gatech--->(overall good in PS)-->gettable
-WIchitha state uni---(decent & PSERC member)---safe
-howard uni---(same as above)----safe

Maximus199 - u sure about gatdch?? Isn't it quite ambitious for 1290 and 80%

ya even i feel the same based on the data i collected about gatech and many univ u suggested wer ambitious. i want to apply for 6 universities -2 ambitious,2 moderate and 2 safe. so pls based on that jst suggest me na i will be applying for UTD for sure which comes under moderate i guess . so remaining pls suggest me n

and also how is missouri rolla .i heard it is good for electrical.Is it ambitious for my profile

@akshay it is ambitious, but i feel its gettable coz quant score is decent & acads are good.
