Profile Evaluation for Spring 2013

**vibhzan** · 07-31-2012 02:01 PM

Hi Guys,

I recently decided in april to give the GRE. I took the GRE on July 11, 2012 and my scores are as below :-

Verbal : 155
Quantitative : 162
AWM : 4.5

10th : 78.80% (Pune)
12th : 79.33% (PCM - 88%) (Pune)
Engineering Aggregate(4 years) : 58% (Last Year - 64%) (Pune University)

I have over 2 years of experience in IT and I am currently working in a MNC. My experience consists of software development(Java) in finance/banking domain in my current organisation.

I have yet to take TOEFL. Since most univs have their deadlines in August-Sept 2012 for Spring 2013, do I stand a chance to get into a decent/above average university considering the fact that I have good experience in a big MNC and good GRE Score ? Or should I target Fall 2013 ? Kindly evaluate my profile and suggest me some universities which are suited for me. I aim to pursue MS in Comp Science. Following are the universities I am planning to apply for :-

1) Rutgers University
2) Clemsons University
3) Texas Dallas
4) Indiana U Bloomington
5) University of North Carolina, Charlotte
6) Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago
7) University of Southern California
8) North Eastern Massachusetts University
9) Santa Clara University, California
10) San Jose State University, California
11) University of Houston
12) Texas Arlington

Please guide me guys and thanks in advance

Hey vibhzan,

As far as my knowledge is considered IIT Chicago is a primarily acads based university.so u can eliminate it...Sorry if u feel offensive mate

Hey siddhardha,

Thanks for your reply. Apart from IIT Chicago, what about the other Univs that I mentioned ? Is my profile too weak for any of them ? Kindly consider the fact that for pune univ students, the engineering aggregate above 60 is considered as good (since the average guys over there dont score around 70% like in other univ's).

Kindly let me know if there are any universities suited for me apart from the ones mentioned in the list and whether those in the list are achievable for me ? Thanks in advance.
