Hi GRE experts,
I took GRE yesterday and I have scored 314 (147v+167q). I am targeting USA only. IELTS or TOEFL is not taken yet. AWA score is expected. Now there are a series of questions/Querries please if somebody can answer:
1. IELTS or TOEFL which one should I go for? If I opt for IELTS will it make a larger difference considering my score?
2. Since the deadlines are approaching for most of the universities for Fall'16 intake. Should I go for Fall'16 or Spring'17? (Lot of things are pending such as LOR, SOP, IELTS/TOEFL) I am worried if I rush into things I will not be able to make it and/or I may goof up everything.
3. As money matters for everyone so can u guys suggest me certain univ. which are good and affordable?
4. I am from India and have completed my Undergrad (B.tech) in Computer engineering with 70% aggregate. So my question is how can I convert my undergrad percentage to the corresponding United States equivalent?
5. Does the university from which I passed out as an undergrad matter?
6. Computer Engineer who is working in Telecom Domain wants to pursue his higher studies in Computer Engineering only. How difficult will it be to make a transition?
7. There are hell lot of departments in one single univ. which bears similar names when I talk about Computer. What kind of difference these make? I am totally confused in this.
Following are universities, I have sent the scores to:
1. Univ. of Minnesota, Minneapolis
2. Univ. of Illinois, Chicago
3. Univ. of Texas at Dallas
4. Rochester Inst. Of Technology.
No research work or paper publication in my bank
Currently, I am working in a Company with a profile in Telecom.
If someone could help me on these, I will be very grateful.
Thanks
