Thanks MDK,
I truly appreciate your support in all these little issues I have.
I have 5 more days to go for my Toefl (PBT) exam, so have decided on the following universities to list in the admissions card.
Indiana Bloomington
Duke
NCSU
NJIT
I guess I'll wait for my GRE exams in October and for their results to decide upon the 2 or 3 ambitious universities I will apply to. BTW, if anyone can comment about my chances in these four universities, that would be a great help. My profile and my expectations on standardized tests, I'll restate as follows.
-Currently doing internship on a government project (completed 2.5 years of 4 year CS degree)
-Current GPA - 3.7/4.0
-GRE - Very optimistic about 1500+ in general and 80%-90% in subject
-Currently writing two literature reviews and hoping to submit to journals next month
-Hoping to start research with the completion of the reviews
-Can get highly favorable
LORs
I'm applying for a PhD (no intention of applying for MS), and funding is the biggest issue.
Thanks guys.
