Guidance needed for Fall 2007

[Mrek_Anu03]

Hi All,

I am a new member of this Forum. I did my BE in ECE and had appeared for GRE, TOEFL in 2003 with scores of GRE 1060 (V-390;Q-670) and TFL -237. I am the topper of my college with 87.4%. Although I got low scores in GRE & TFL, I applied for few univ (Univ. of Kentucky, Tenessee Tech, Knoxville, Univ. of Minnesota, McMaster Univ, Univ of Toronto) but I din’t get admits in any of these universities.

After that, I got a job in IT industry and now I have 2+ yrs of experience. I had given a thought about MS now and appearing again for GRE and Toefl exams this year. My GRE is due on Sep 28th and planning to appear for TOEFL during October. I would be applying for fall 2007.

I am interested to pursue my MS in Digital Design. Can anyone suggest what are the univ that have this specialization?

Will there be any constraints to pursue my MS in this specialization since I have 2+yrs IT experience? Please let me know.

Looking forward for your guidance and replies.

Your Toefl and GRE were very low and I see that they are an enough reason for rejects. Work hard and give your best shot for GRE and try scoring a 1350+ and a 250+ on Toefl. A good score cannot be defined, but if you manage to get the mentioned scores, with your very good acads and these scores you can get into many good colleges.

You will have to search out yourselves I think. I am not sure just look into USC and UTDallas websites.

Getting an admit wont be affected as you have been in the IT field for some years. But had u got an experience in the relevant field of specialization it would have surely helped u fetching an admit. Inshort having an IT exp wont cause u any harm but at the same time wont u help much.

I have tried explaining you the things to the best of my knowledge, still if other members reply it would be great.

Some tips:
=> For Toefl prep refer www.testmagic.com , an ultimate resource for preparation. A pool of essays is there, to help u score in essay writing too. I have score a 6.0 in my essay and TestMagic is the one that gets the credit.

=> For GRE, complete the barrons list atleast 2-3 times. Try doing the BIGBOOK tests.
