To be honest I am not very sure what the exact defination of Tier 2 is ,so I am assuming its in the ranking range 20-40.Please correct me if I am wrong.
My profile is as follows :
GRE - Total 1520 -Verbal 740/Quant -780 ,AWA -still awaiting the scores,expecting between 4.5 to 5.5
TOEFL - Plan to give it within 3 weeks ,should get over 100
Undergraduate CGPA - 7.62/10
MS aspirations : Electrical and computer Engineering
2 papers presented at at regional colleges in India
My final year project was in Biomedical Imaging and was a IEEE based project.
I have about 2.8 years of work experience though its in a IT company ,not sure if it counts
I have been going through some of the profiles of people who got rejected from Top Universities in Edulix and was wondering If I stood a decent chance at the Tier 2 Universities.I do plan to apply for some Top Universities but I want to build a decent University list ( not too overambitious) before I start applying.
This is a tentative list so far :
1) University of Wisconsin Madison
2) University of Washington ,Seattle
3) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy
4) Arizona State University
4) University of Colorado--Boulder Boulder
5) University of Massachusetts--Amherst Amherst, MA
6) University of Pennsylvania
I would appreciate if someone could give me some advice on this.I am a little dejected seeing so many good profiles rejected in Edulix
