    Profile evaluation. Help me.

    Hello,

    Im chaitanya. I did my graduation with 13backlogs and got an aggregate of 58.5%. I've scored 940 in GRE with Quant: 630 & Verbal: 310 and according to the new pattern it is shown as 150 in quant and Verbal: 139. I didn't take my TOEFL/IELTS yet. I have 85% in 10th and 89% in 12th.

    I heard that admission process in universities came to an end for Fall-2012. Can you all help me in sorting out universities. My questions are
    1) Can i get an admission with my profile, if so please suggest me some universities.
    2) Im interested to do Masters in Ethical Hacking or Computer Science. Which one would help me best in my future. Please list out universities for both courses.
    3) I've already completed my Certification for Microsoft Server Enterprise Administration, Basics in Ethical hacking and Linux Administration. Does my certifications and my completed courses can help me in getting admission?
    4) I do not have any work experience. Does it reflect bad in my visa interview?
    5) Im in a confusion to write TOEFL/IELTS. Which one would be better.
    6) Can i apply to universities with my estimated score and take the exam by the time i receive i20.

    Sorry if have confused you all with my question but please take a minute to reply me for my bright future.

    Thanks in advance

    Best Regards,
    Chaitanya

    Hi Chaitanya,

    Your profile is pretty interesting but still i would advice you to retake GRE (if possible) and take IELTS as well for spring 2013 and allow me to answer your all questions as you numbered.

    1) Yes you can get admit and frankly speaking there are some good universities you can try after retaking GRE (Aim New GRE score to be closer or higher to 300) UHCL is among some of the universities.
    2) MS in CS is according to me mother of all branches and pursuing it will give you numerous openings through out the globe. I would suggest MS in CS.
    3) Yes, these certifications might even help you in getting scholarships and some job opportunities in US.
    4) How much of gap do you have after completion of your bachelors? If at all you have some gap, explain VO (visa officer) about it and explain it that you did these certifications in mean time.
    5) IELTS will be better because since it is accepted globally. For high Visa rejections at the embassy, many students are applying to certain other places as well so that the year doesn't get wasted. For other places IELTS is given much preference.
    6) Well that would be risky. If at all your are 100% sure after taking certain amount of tests and you are getting similar score which are on par for univ. selection, then you can but i would advice you not to do so because if you don't get that score, applying to univ. will be waste of both time and money.

    Hope i have answered all questions, All the Best for future!

    Thanks alot sherzil. You have given sufficient answers to my questions.

    One of my friend is doing his MS in UHCL. Is there any possibility that i can get an admission if he submits my documents manually to university?

    I've completed my graduation in Jun-2011 but due to serious injury to leg i had to take rest for 6months. Due to the same reason 8months have been wasted and cant waste some more time like waiting for spring-2013. So i would like you guys to help me suggesting some universities for Fall-2012 with my profile. Im sure that i can get around 90 in TOEFL and atleast 6.5 in IELTS.

    Regards

    University of Houston Clear Lake requires a minimum of 1000 GRE that is the reason i am asking you to retake GRE because you are somewhat short of marks and the deadlines for fall 2012 are almost end (i think its 1st April for international students). I would still suggest you to go for spring 2013 with new GRE and IELTS score.

    All the Best!
