  1. Hi, everyone. I'm an international architecture undergraduate (5 year) on my last year of the program. I've been admitted to University of Manchester in UK (2016 entry) and will be doing an urban design & planning master for a year. Then I would like to apply to another master program (2018 entry, preferably less than 18 months) in something related to HCI/User Experience which doesn't require computer science/programming background in US. Program: Human-Computer Interaction/User Experience Schools Applying To: U Washington, NYU, Georgia Tech, Northwestern U Undergraduate institution: Non famous asian university Undergraduate GPA: 2.9 Undergraduate Majors: Architecture Postgraduate institution: University of Manchester (2016 entry) Postgraduate assumed GPA: hign 2.1/65%+/ merit Postgraduate Major : Urban Design & International Planning GRE: In the process of studying, assumed V: 150-155, Q:165+, AW:4 IELTS: 7.5 (might be waived when apply) Age: 24 when entering Years of Work Experience: None Internships: 2 months as an architecture intern Strength of SOP: Planning to talk about my 'strong' design background (6 years) & postgraduate experience. Strength of LOR: Assumed all from professors in University of Manchester. Concerns: Low GPA in undergraduate, especially low grades in higher maths & computer related course (only 2). I hope the master program in UK can increases the chances of me being admitted to a better School in US as the HCI/UX/CS related programs are very competitive and I see most of the applicants who did there undergraduate in US have very high GPA. Does it help much if I try my best to get a Distinction in PG? Also my GRE verbal and aw will be lower than average for sure. Thanks.
