Today's a happy day. I have got the first two responses from those grad schools I applied for PhD in Computer Science next fall, both are admitted:

- UC Berkeley (admission includes four academic years of financial benefits)
- U Washington (3 years of guaranteed funding as TA/RA assistant, tuition waiver, stipend, and health benefits coverage + 1 first year fellowship)

Awaiting results from some more unis.

Thank TestMagic forum for all the experience/knowledge sharing and suggestions for my PhD applications and GRE test.
