  25. Hi,

    I am from Pakistan following is my profile:

    Education
    – Bachelor of Science (Mathematics & Physics) – 2 years program.
    – Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Science – 1 year program.
    – Masters in Computer Science (conversion program)- 6 semester (2.3-3 years) program.

    Experience:
    CS teaching 3 years
    Software Development 10+ years (Currently in a senior position in a Pakistan office of a USA based software product company)

    Goal:
    PHD in CS from a reputable USA university.

    Yet to take GRE and TOEFL

    Questions:
    1- Am I eligible for MS leading to PHD programs?
    2- Does relevant experience plays any role in PHD admission?
    3- Is age (near 40) a bar in admission?

  26. I got a 720 math 360 verbal. My M.S. GPA is close to a 4.0.

    I got into Georgia Tech. Why? Because I had over 7 published papers.

    Research experience >>> standardized test scores.

    In fact, Illinois, Purdue, and MIT don't require (and don't consider) GRE scores in the application process. That's what they say on their websites.

    Do research, not standardized test scores.

  27. i got a gre score of 1090..and i am having an aggregate of 80% in 10th and 12th and i am persuing b.pharmacy 3rd year.

  29. I am doing MS(Software Engineering) which is a Five years Integrated Programme in India.I would like to know whether we can directly apply for Ph.D or not, if so in which universities can i apply .. i hav 88% in 12 th,86% in 10 th and 8.2 (CGPA) in my MS. Please give a informative reply.

  30. Hi. Im takin the GRE this Dec. My Undergrad CGPA is 2.85 (our grading scale was tough) If I get a score of 1200 will it be enough to get me in US universities. Im lookin to apply to MS in Software Engineering. Please suggest some universities which match my profile. Thanks a lot.

    1. there is still hope for 2.85..

      above 2.5 is considered the end of the spectrum.
      it still depends on resume, gre, etc.

      but don't expect to get into top programs. U can count on the programs that rank 30th or above. Below that it is a slim chance..

      which school did you go to if I may know ??

      best of luck

      yes you can opt to pursue your computer science

      it is the beauty of American eduction system

      even after you completed your .B.E Mechanical

      but my nagging question is why you want to pursue your M.S in computer not in your mechanical engineering

I’m a student for Fall ’10 so its alright if you take time to gather info for this large task i’m asked for. I keep visiting your blog so often and i’ve even put it up for Feeds in Opera as well as iGoogle. So, i’m hooked. Thanks.

  58. It would be fine if you could direct me to a page where i can see the current standing of universities in MS in Mech. Engg. stream. I haven't been able to find it anywhere so far. The info on USNews& Rankings, after refining the search to Mechanical engg. isn't believable. Maybe i'm going wrong somewhere in refining the search.Thanks for the incoming help!!
