hey all, i just finshed writing my GRE .. got 1370 (verbal - 600, quant - 770 ). my cgpa is 7.52/10 (guess thats 3.09/4, ) , i calculated it like this (my cgpa/ class toppers cgpa)*4. my Xth class score is 93.6% , 12th(PUC) class score is 72.5%. I am currently pursuing my final year b.tech at NITK Surathkal( formerlyy KREC). i am planning for MS, but people are scaring me that the chances of getting a good job soon after MS is very flimsy, So am considering to apply for Phd instead of MS(as the chances of getting a tuition fee waiver is good and has a job guarantee) i am planning to apply for 1. UCLA 2. Georgia inst tech 3. University of wisconsin, madison 4. UT, Austin 5. University of South California 6. Stony Brook 7. UIUC 8. CMU perhaps am really banking on my college reputation and the fact that u get admits in colleges where ur seniors have received admits in the previous years.
