Curricular Activities, Work Experience, Internships, SOP, LORs and other

against it (I am assuming, there is nothing out-standing to note). Also it is really
expensive in compare. Is it worth spending so much on it?

GRE Score is good. CGPA is on a lower side. Well try universities which are in
top 50-100.! Chances are very less that you crack the Top 50 ones because

the acads are on a lower side.!

Can you suggest some universities for MS in CS?


GRE 311 (V-144, Q-167)
IELTS 7
Acads 74% (Btech in Mechanical)
Job Experience 2 years as Software Engineer
How are my chances in getting admissions in Top 50 universities in your list ?
Also are there any other extra requirements that I have to fulfill as am opting for
CS though my graduation is in Mech ?
Thanks in advance,
Santhosh Aitha

13/07/2013 at 11:45 AM
You ll need some real good SOP to explain why are you switching from Mech
to CS.! I cant comment that which universities you can get as you are from

Chirag

Mech and well when the universities will admit you, you would need to take
certain Undergrad Courses such as OS, Database etc which will increase the
cost of education!
But as you have work ex as software engg, you should be okay! Can try USC,
ASU etc
