    Question Please evaluate my profile for fall 2013 admission in VLSI

    I am planning to go for MS in VLSI in fall 2013

    My profile:
    B.Tech in Electronics and Communication
    B.Tech : 7.72/10 (CGPA)
    12th : 78%
    10th : 68.4%

    GRE : 310/340
    V : 147
    Q :163
    AWA : 3.5

    TOEFL yet to take

    currently working in the VLSI industry since last 1 year

    1 mini Project in Embedded Systems
    1 final year project in VLSI.

    Universities I have in mind are:

    1) University of Massachusetts - Amherst
    2) University of Missouri - Rolla
    3) Illinois Institute of Technology
    4) Oregon State University
    5) Arizona State University
    6) University of Texas Dallas

    Ques:
    1) What are my chances of getting into these universities?
    2) Are there any other universities good for VLSI in which I have a chance?
    3) What are my chances of getting funding in these universities?
    4) Are the fees to these universities very high or moderate?

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    1) University of Massachusetts - Amherst---->mod/ambi( good place for dvlsi, so abit compitative)
    2) University of Missouri - Rolla---->gettable
    3) Illinois Institute of Technology---->gettable
    4) Oregon State University---->ambi( less intake, best place for avlsi)
    5) Arizona State University---->mod( mixed signal)
    6) University of Texas Dallas---->mod/gettable( location advantage, but erratic with admissions apply early)

    Check this,
    -u minnesota---->ambi/mod
    acc to my knowlege umr isn't great with vlsi.( correct me if i'm wrong), its well-known for power studies.

    Thanks for the reply
    I saw the course structure at "University of Missouri - Rolla" n liked it that is why i am applying there.
    So if I apply only to these 7 colleges with good LOR's and SOP can I be sure to get a scholarship in at least one of the universities?

    can you give an amount that will be spent on living expenses after the college fees ?
    In all how much shall I assume to be spent if I want to pursue MS in US? Can you give the figure in INR

    ur living expenses again depends on ur lifestyle & location. On an average, monthly living expenses come upto 400-600$.
    Tution fee varies among universities. A public university on an average may cost 15-25 lac(without any type of funding). now u do the math....
