What bout ur GPA, recos?
I to hav a bad score v390 q800 a5.0.
So, ur domain is electical/electronics engg?
I have spoken to some consultants.
The good news is tht in many cases this department does not consider verbal score for admissions.
You could try University of southern Cali.
Its a good university. But the aid scene is real bad.
If you are applying for spring, its gonna be hard to get aid.
The bad news is , teaching assistantships are hard to get with low verbal.
But, since you have work exp, u could try for research assistantship.
Some people i know , have got aid with a low verbal( below 400) at these univs:
-Saint Joseph's univ at philadelphia
-West Virginia Inst of tech @ Montogomory
-Temple Univ
I dunno how good these univs are. Up to you to find out.
