Hie,
I am a 2012 passed out graduate. I had given GRE last year and got 1220, and am going to give toefl next month and am expecting a score around 90. I want to apply for fall 2013 for CS. Would there be any problem to get admission into good universities as there will be 1 yr gap.
Thanks in advance
hi anusha……
no i dont think so that you have to face any problem in admission as you have a average score in gre and your expected tofel……… the only difficulty you will face is regariding visa interview, as you have to gave a solid reason for your 1 yr gap to the visa officer ………. and you also have to take a care for the universities deadlines….otherwise all the thing will be gone your way…..
hey,
i want to apply for universities in minneapolis. Can u suggest me some universities which matches my profile.
hey plz anyone can tell me whether we have to decide about universities before giving gre or it is a process after giving gre exam , i.e. according to our gre score i m confused about it plz reply me……
thanks in advance…..
You can do both..but the thing is that you get to send your scores to 4 universities for free immediately after giving the test on the test day itself…from then on-wards they charge $23 for sending them to each university. So it is better if you atleast have an idea where do you want to apply and take advantage of free recipients.
thanks mihir…….
can you plz tell me that we have to apply for that 4 universities on the spot , after giving up with our gre exam on test centre……… or we proceed it at our home on that same day……. and if it has to be done on test centre than how we are able to remember the universities according to different gre score…… as we are not sure about our scores and what will happen on the test day….. there may be deflection in our scores from the score that we got in our practice test……… plz reply me….
you have to give university names on the spot right at the end of test…yes you have to try and remember the names of the universities for all score…but you’ll mostly get scores what you get in gre powerprep there wont be much change normally…so prepare list accordingly…best of luck
thanks mihir ……..
thanks for your precious advice……
I have a question. If you have a GRE score of 333 out of 340 (165 Verbal and 168 Quant) what are the chances of getting financial aid for an MS in aerospace engg.? Which U.S. universities would you recommend?
are u from sct?
No. I had in fact posted the inquiry for my son who is in his fifth semester of engineering studies.
help me someone
i m having very less time remaining for gre exam preperation
i have exam on 17th sep
plz sumebody guide me how to plan now actually so that i can score in gre 310+.
There are so many posts regarding prep on this blog itself…look at them
It is difficult to suggest universities without knowing what your interests are. There is nothing mysterious or intimidating about GRE. As Big Joey says, put in a lot of hard work and you can score well. Some of the useful preparatory materials (Manhattan, Grubers, Kaplan) have already been suggested here. Take a lot of practice tests. If you are not confident about your English, study with a group of friends who are all preparing for GRE. Since you are an engineer, I assume that the quant part would be easy for you. You can make up for your low GPA by scoring high in GRE and writing a truly compelling SOP and getting good recommendation letters. But you must have a very clear sense of what you want to study and why. Good Luck.
I have completed my BE from medical electronics. i wish to do my MS in USA . so do i have to have to prepare for all the three IELTS TOEFL and GRE for entrance in MIT (USA) for MS in Biomedical Engineering??
Hi Yash!
Even m planning for Spring 2013 in San Jose State University.
When I used to practise, I also used to get a very low score in the same range as u stated. But I kept studying and improving on my weak points wherever possible. I considered Quantitative as my weak point so i was more inclined towards increasing accuracy there. But in the final days, i worked on strengthening my strong points.
I scored 311 in the GRE with this technique.
Just be confident with your preparation, & give ur best.
Hi Big Joey,
)
Well.. i got my score not so impressive 291(135 Verbal , 156 Quant) And 3.0 in Writing.
Do you have any idea of SAN JOSE University for Spring 2013?
Do you recommend me any Uni. in California State?
Hullo Yash,
California State University at Long Beach may be an option worth trying. They ask for a GPA of 2.7, recommend GRE for students with a GPA lower than 3.0 and TOEFL scores. If there are weaknesses in your previous work, they allow you take make-up courses to remedy these. Check out their website at http://www.csulb.edu . They have two Master’s level options – Computer Science and Computer Engineering. Copied below is their contact information.

hi!
i am planning to take gre in 3 weeks …and i am facing lot of problems in quant section…currently i am using barrons but i am not satisfied with its level…can u guys plz suggest some good book i can refer to score high in quant.
Thanks
Tanu
Hello Tanu,
Use KAPLAN And if time remains use Grubbers list. You can find more details about book in GRE BOOK Section. It will help you.
Hello Sreekumar,
I had called to uni. And I found that they do have SOFTWARE Engg. Course. They Only offer Computer Science And Computer Engg. in Graduate Programs.
So now I have to only 2 Options
1)San jose (Looks Quite Tough on 291 GRE Score)
2)Santa Clara uni. (Fess Are quite high)
Can you Suggest me any other option?
Thanks
Yash
Hullo Yash,
“Graduate Programs” mean Master’s Degree programs. Bachelor’s level programs are generally referred to as “Undergraduate” programs. Since you already have a BTech (or BSc Engg), I assume you want to pursue a Master’s level program. I still like Long Beach because the fee is reasonable (Of course, they are all expensive, but this is less so than most at about $17,000 for out-of-state students), and though Long Beach is an expensive town, the campus board and lodging is about $13,000 for 12 months. I have posted some information about Sacramento State University (part of the State Univ. of California system) but I wasn’t too successful in finding out their preferred GPA and GRE scores. The best thing may be to write to the e-mail address of the Computer Science Dept. which is on the website.
California also has a State College system (different from the State University System) but many of them don’t have engineering colleges. Software development is offered on some campuses but this is usually part of a computer science dept. and not part of an engg. program. After your BTech, I wouldn’t advise you to go to a non-engineering dept.
California State University’s other campuses like Davis, Fullerton, Riverside, LA, and San Diego have programs which suit your requirements but the admission requirements tend to be tougher than Long Beach.
If you don’t mind going out of California, University of Washington (Bothel campus) has software engg. programs at the Master’s level. Washington State is on the west coast and is very beautiful. It is also the home of Microsoft and Boeing. So the engg. departments are bound to be excellent. Take a look at the website. Don’t waste a lot of money on phone calls; send an e-mail to the concerned dept. (Most of them have a coordinator whose e-mail address is given) and they will write back. You can always call them if you need clarification on some point. Take a look at Oregon also, just north of California and south of Washington. I took a quick look at the State University, but they don’t seem to have a software engg. program. There are a few good private universities, but I think they tend to be expensive.
If you find the Long Beach costs less than San Jose and Santa Clara, give it a try. The university itself is ranked pretty high on the US News & World Report rankings. Some of the engg. departments are highly ranked, but the engg. school itself is only 137 (not terrible when you consider that it is for the whole of U.S.). It is a State university and you will never run into the kind of trouble like Tri Valley and Higuera. Once you are there and do reasonably well in your courses, you can get at least partial financial assistance which would ease the burden on your parents also. Good Luck. I shall keep looking and pass on any information I find useful.
I have an old friend who lives permanently in Las Vegas. Let me check with him about Universities in Nevada. If he is agreeable, I shall pass on his e-mail address to you. Hope everything works out.

Hello Shreekumar,
Thanks a lot for your help and effort. I really appreciate it.
I had done B.E. (IT) From Gujarat Board. I have very low GPA (2.34/4). And 4 Year of Experience as a Software Engineer.

1)San jose State Uni.(Tough Chance)
2)sacramento state university(Not Possible on 2.34 GPA)
3)northridge state university(Not possible on 2.34 GPA)
So I had Choose Second option of Computer Science. As you Said In Long Beach i have chance of Getting Admission.
Can you tell me is it possible to take transfer from Computer Science to Software Engg. in next Semester. I want to study in San jose State Uni. in Software Engg. But i doubt.
Thanks
