    Profile Eval/MS or PhD in MEMS/159v + 163q/Fall 2013

    Hey,
    This is Sahiti. I am interested in applying for MS/PhD in an area called MEMS ( Micro Electro Mechanical systems) which comes under Electrical and Computer Science dept. Please evaluate my profile.

    Currently doing a 1 yr project in the R&D dept in Thomas & Betts India Pvt. Ltd. (ABB group).

    GRE - 159v, 163q, 2.5 (awa)
    Toefl - 100 (26R,26L,28W,20S)

    I completed my graduation from BITS, Pilani ( branch EEE) with cgpa 8.28/10.

    12th : 95.4% (SSC)
    10th : 88% (CBSE)

    Did 2 projects in National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC) , ISRO.

    I went through many university websites and found that the following universities are doing good research in MEMS.

    Universities :
    1. Georgia Tech Univ, Atlanta
    2. Univ of Maryland College park
    3. Univ of Michigan,Ann Arbor
    4. Michigan state univ
    5. Carnegie mellon univ
    6. Univ of Pittsburg
    7. Univ of texas dallas
    8. U of Washington, seattle
    9. Arizona state univ tempe
    10. Univ of Florida
    11. NJIT

    My final aim is to do PhD in MEMS. So, I would like to apply to some universities for PhD and some for MS right now. I am facing a problem while categorizing them under PhD and MS. I also want funding. Please help me in this regard. If you know of any other universities that are good in terms of research in MEMS that I haven't mentioned above, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance...

    It is impossible to get an admission for phD into any of these reputed colleges as your AWA score is much below average. Moreover refer to individual college sites for AWA min requirement, in your case its better to find 2-3 safer options.

    Thanks for the reply. I have seen the AWA min requirements and I am a little worried about it.Do you have any idea how much importance is given to AWA score in these universities? Will other aspects of my profile help in covering up for the AWA score?

    For Phd AWA is of prime concern in most of universities. Many times other aspects may cover up but generally a min. of AWA=4.0 is required for Phd. You may apply at your own discretion.
