Thread: Profile Evaluation for Fall 2013

Hi everyone,

My profile is as follows:
GRE score : 320
Verbal 158 , Quant 162 , AWA not known
CGPA 9.61/10
Research : 1 Relevant paper in an International Conference
Internship : 1 Relevant 2 month internship at an MNC
Decent extra curriculars and positions of responsibility

Interests: Image Processing and Signal Processing.

What colleges can I look at, realistically? I'm considering JHU, TAMU, Urbana Champaign, UCLA, UPenn, UMichigan, CMU.
What are my chances and can you recommend some others?

Well ur profile is very good so u stand a good chance at most unis...ur chacnes would be :-

JHU - actually decent chances, but JHU tends to be quite picky so it may be tough
TAMU - it may be ambitious but u should still try. Maybe a great sop and strong LORs will pull u through.
UIUC - ditto
UCLA - ditto
U Penn - moderate chances. U would get through mostly though
U Michigan - a littlea ambitious again. Its very competitive for electrical engg
CMU - moderate/ambitious

If u want more gettable options, u can try Ohio state, Michigan state, Northwestern, Boston, Case western, U minn TC, USC, UCSD, UCSB.

U wisconsin is excellent for signal processing. Maybe if u can beef up ur profile more, u may stand a chance.
