  1. Please evaluate my profile. I'll be happy to vary my University shortlist based on your suggestions. Undergrad Institution: Respectable Institute in India Major(s): Chemical Engineering with a specialization in Dyestuff Technology Overall GPA: 4.0/4.0 Position in Class: First Type of Student: International Male GRE Scores: 324 Q: 166 V: 158 W: 4.0 TOEFL Total: 105 Research Experience: Freshman year summer internship: Two months full-time in Inorganic Chemistry. Strong recommendation from Prof. who has an h-index of 33 Performed research in my own school as a sophomore in the ChemE department for two years in wastewater treatment. One international research publication and one international conference paper. Good LOR from Prof who has an h-index of 47 Was chosen for an international research internship in VSCHT, Prague, Czech Republic under Carbohydrate Chemistry. Good LOR from Prof. who's an FRSc. Worked as a summer trainee in a company in Belgrade, Serbia in water treatment. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Not those which would impress the Admissions committee. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Student Editor of a Research Journal during my Junior Year. Involved in everything from getting articles, sending for review, publishing, shifting to a website, getting print archives onto the website. Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Started an Undergraduate Research Program in my institute, linking Professors and Undergrads alike.Strong desire for entrepreneurshipApplying to Where: All for PhD in ChemE Ambitious: Stanford, Caltech, UT Austin, UC Berkeley, Minnesota TC Moderate: UIUC, Wisconsin-Madison, Purdue, GaTech Safe: North Western, UCSB, CMU
  2. Undergrad Institution: Big College in India, Best in the country for Chemical Engineering Major(s): Chemical Engineering Minor(s): Pigment Technology (Something Like Engineering+Management) GPA in Major: Only overall Overall GPA: 4.0/4.0 Position in Class: Top Type of Student: International Male GRE Scores: Q: 164 V: 156 W: 4.5 (expected) TOEFL Total: 110 Research Experience: Massive.

One international research publication and one international review. Also presented a Poster in an international conference held in India. Good LOR from Prof Was chosen for an international research internship in VSCHT, Prague, Czech Republic under Carbohydrate Chemistry. One minor paper. Good LOR from Prof. Currently working as a Junior. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Not something that would admire Admissions. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Student Editor of an old Research Journal (Which has lost its sheen, lately. I hope I can turn it around) during my Junior Year. Involved in everything from getting articles, sending for review, publishing, shifting to a website, getting print archives onto the website Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Started an Undergraduate Research Program in my institute, linking Professors and Undergrads alike. Strong desire for entrepreneurship. I don't want an academic life after getting a PhD. (Didn't fit anywhere) Applying to Where: All for PhD MIT-ChemE Stanford-ChemE UCBerkeley-ChemE Caltech- ChemE. I'll be applying for Fall 2016. Could you helpful guys tell me the points I should improve upon in the coming year?
  3. Both are pretty much the same IMHO, ETS may be slightly simpler. Magoosh is the toughest, though.
  4. The practice went for me like this: Test Scores Days to Exam ETS Power Prep 1: Q:166 V:150=316 14 Manhattan Test 1: Q:159 V:157=317 12 Magoosh Test 1: Q 162 V:153=315 10 Manhattan Test 2: Q:166 V:155=321 8 Magoosh Test 2: Q: 163 V:151=314 6 Manhattan Test 3: Q: 164 V: 156=320 5 Princeton Free Test: Q: 165 V:150=315 3 ETS Power Prep 2: Q: 167 V: 155=322 2 Magoosh Score Predictor Q:159-164 V:155-160= 319 Real GRE: Q:164, V:156=320 I'm about just satisfied with my score, would give it again in three months. I barely got twenty days to study averaging around five hours per day; 100 hours of intense study hours. My approach of giving so many exams is wrong. Give one every week. I barely had any time to study, so I tried to go into test mode by giving as many exams. Manhattan and ETS Powerprep are most accurate when it comes to predicting your score. For improving your concepts, Magoosh was better. It's cheap and effective to study. It's better if one takes tests with an experimental section as the real exam has one. The going gets tough after you have to answer another verbal after two. I screwed up in Quant on the real GRE. Someone told me that they're purposefully giving tougher Quant sections for a more equal percentile distribution. Does anyone have an idea about this?
