Thank you p0limorph, I choose Lehigh because of its participation in the Robotics programs along with University of Pennsylvania. I could not score well in Subject Test. I did not report the scores) So, I refined my application and have applied to the following universities whose deadlines are Dec 15. - MIT, CMU (I would like to give it a try) - Gatech (RIM), University of Washington, University of Michigan Ann-Arbor. I would be choosing another Good/Safe University (TAMU/ SUNY/*) and applying for it. The deadline for that would be Jan 15th. I was upset with the unexpected score in Subject Test. Recovered. I did some research again and choose Univ Washington, Univ of Mich Ann-Arbor, both of them are good in CS. I am not sure of the admit rates in these univs for PhD applicants.

Yes, you are right. I cannot do much about it now. Options available to me are not to send to other universities I am applying for.

Is there a way to cancel the automatic reporting of the GRE Subject Test Scores, which I had given during test application. I am applying to those universities, and with a bad score, I would hurt my chances more. So, I am trying to cancel the automatic reporting. Any suggestions/Ideas? Thanks, Senthil

Should be available tomorrow from ETS office by Phone.

Bumping again. Trying to catch some experienced persons attention.

Any suggestions guys? I am waiting and would be completing the application process soon. Thanks in advance.

Hi Vivekanandagl, follow the advice listed in this link to the word. May the force be with you.

Hello All, I would like to see your advice on my university selection for doing PhD in CS. This is my background. Scores: General Test Scores:Verbal: 530. Quants: 780. AWA: 4.0 TOEFL Scores: Reading: 29, Listening: 28, Speaking: 28, Writing: 22, Total: 107 Subject Test Scores: Yet to come. But not very hopeful. Worst case scenario would be above 40 percent. ( I fear to mention the worst case scenario, because while writing the exam, I thought lack of time with 10 in completes would be my worst case scenario, and like all cs algorithms, it turned out be true :-) ) Jokes aside. I am not very happy with the way I did subject test and not sure the effect it would have.Academics: BE Computer Science From National Engineering College, Tamil Nadu. It is very low profile and is currently under Anna University. I graduated in 2002 with 76.8% and stood 8th rank out of 60.Experience: I have 6 years of Experience at an MNC.What makes me think I can go for PhD? I have 4 USPTO patent applications (from my work), 2 Technical papers published in Industry journals and I contribute to Python language. I have listed the details here for reference. I would like to apply for PhD in Robotics (1st pref) and CS algorithms and complexity (2nd pref) Universities I have shortlisted: Ambitious: 1) MIT 2) CMU Competitive: 1) University of Pennsylvania 2) University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign 3) Texas A & M University 4) Georgia Tech. Safe: 1) Lehigh University. Please remember this is to apply for a PhD program. Stanford suggests that students go for MS before PhD, otherwise it is very diifcult to get admit. So, I kind of leaving it out here. - Would be able to focus my SOP. - Have 3 good recos. My time is running out and Dec 15th seems deadline for many of the above listed colleges. What are your comments on my Selection. Would you advice me to consider more universities ( like SUNY Brook (safe), Cornell (competitive) or Columbia (competitive) ). I see that robotics and cs program is good in these universities. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Senthil

Even I too felt that test was bit different from practice tests, we have or might have taken. BTW, we have to exercise caution in discussing about the test here. I read in the orkut discussion group that ETS was pretty strict about it.

Answer: II. L-P = 1 I could not derive this answer, but I drew a couple of binary tree's and verified it that this is the case.

No worries lutz, just carry out and try it. We can have another one, a week later. More the practice we have, its better for us.

Hello, I am a PhD aspirant in CS and I am giving my Subject GRE on November 8th. It is after a long time that I am getting back to CS subjects. In order to score good in CS Gre, I know that a good relevant practice is required and practice tests help a lot. I am planning for a Practice Subject Test on Sep 28th. I shall devise the question paper based on the pattern and publish it for others to take. If you would like to participate, it would be great help, if you can do the same for me also ( as I will not the questions that you design) and we can correct each others answers. If more people show interest. We can divide into groups. If none is interested, then I will take my own test, it would be helpful to me anyways.The plan for the first Mock test is: 1) 9:30 - 12:30 pm Sunday, 28. Your TimeZone. 2)Correction with explanations by 12:00 pm Monday 29th. If you are interested. Please reply to this thread. Thank you, Senthil
