First off, you need to tell us what your major is and what you intend to take as your major field of your graduate study.
As a student in social science, I know the strength of an application depends on five criteria as followed:
1)GPA;
2)Recommendation letter;
3)GRE;
4)Writing sample;
5)Personal statement;
For me, the annual university ranking isn't that important. In so-called "Tier 2" universities, there are a lot of excellent professors/researchers from which you can really learn a lot and with whom you may be able to develop a truly meaningful relationship. By contrast, in so-called "Tier 1" universities, it's always difficult to catch and talk to those professors. They are busy, and some students don't even get a chance to have a deep conversation with them  |
I am sorry for the delay in writing a message to you as I was busy with some work. I did not state credentials properly -- I am a electrical and electronic engineer and I would like to get into power field of electrical engineering
and do some research. I would like to know whether i get fiancial aid or scholarships to schools I intend to join....
My gpa 2.9 isnt that great..I wasnt very good student because I am not english speeker.. second, there were some family problems on and off.. these affected me emotionally...How do I choose the professors to write me recommendation letter.? Should choose instructors based on class performance and also How are they going to know me after long time?? Do i need to provide some background about myself to them in order for them to write a good letter. How many recommendation letters do colleges need ??
What is writing sample ??? I am writing a personal statement now..
Next what are the job opportunities if I graduate from with power electrical engineering.
thanks in advance
