Unhappy oh god i'm lost!!!!

hi all i'm an international student from india. my gre was 1300 (800 + 500) and toefl was 107. i had applied to 4 universities for MS in computer science- U PENN, JHU, NYU and U PITT.

i had pretty strong SOP with 4 fairly strong LOR's from 3 professors and a company i had my training in. the problem with my profile was my acads. i only had a gpa of around 3.2/4. (i say around coz in my university we follow the percentage system in every course)

so the problem is that now i have received a reject from U PENN and the rest universities are saying that they'll take around 2 weeks for the decision. but now my idiotic decision of applying to 4 universities is biting my a$$. so is there any other university which has admission open even now???
(i'm applying to north eastern univ tomorrow morning)... plz plz let me know any university or guidance. i understand there is no spoon feeding on the forums but i have been so tense for the past few days that i cant see any hope....



also if not possible, does this mean i have to apply for the next year???

CalmLogic 's dreams are becoming reality.
And USC has an even later deadline in June or July.

(It's best to apply to USC right now to be safe. Though I would think you have good chances at being admitted at JHU, USC may be a better school for you anyway.)

As far as I know, NYU is very lenient with MS admissions...so you should get through that...but without aid
