  1. Hi, I graduated with an honors degree in physiology from a world top 20 university. but my gpa was 2.2. I am currently in community college working toward an advanced diploma in biomedical engineering technology - I got all A's so far. I also have 1 year internship experience relevant to biomedical engineering and lots of other work experience (TAing at community college, research at university) .. What are my chances at a grad program for biomedical engineering in canada or usa? thanks.

  3. Thank you for your advice. I guess an MSIS degree is the best option. I understand regarding the BS comp sci degree but at the same time, there are civil/electrical engineers without any course work in computers who are software engineers. Infact, I know doctors who couldnt get licenced in the united states work in the IT field for a while and end up as soft ware engineers. Is there a way the MSIS option also opens up opportunities in the software realm? Otherwise, I don't think the door is shut for people novice comp background to advance in software or even with enough experience get into a graduate school with software engineering. In the end, it depends on how good you are in the software world. A friend I know recruits people into the IT field who have foreign bachelors education (unrelated to software) but were smart enough and hard working enough to gain enough experience to excel. One plus point about the software field is hard work and dedication along with application of knowledge will take you farther than university degrees. The New CEO of Microsoft for instance has a worthless paper degree from Manipal University which I know is a degree mill school which churns thousands of students.
  4. I am just short of a credit to graduate. I am just thinking to work for a while, take the credit on the side and graduate. so no hope of pulling up my GPA. I need to work to pay off my tuition loans before I can move on. Plus, work experience also helps for grad programs. I am hoping the IT experience will help me get into some sort of grad school (since my gpa is low). Also, I am open to use the QA entry job as a work/internship experience to get footing into grad school - as you said QA pay sucks. The MSIS option looks promising as you said, but just as with an MBA, it seems worthless without hard core work experience. What is the career outlook for an MSIS graduate - pay wise, careerwise, job wise? Another question is, since I have no background in computers and have novice background in QA testing, will an internship/entry level position help me get into graduate programs into software engineering? If not, other than QA testing, what other courses and placement should I get to get myself into this field?
  5. I just want to get footing into the IT field at the moment an entry level job to start off. I am learning QA/SAP/Microsoft/testing tools at the moment. Since I did not do well in Biology (My GPA is low) would the reputation of the university bode well for MBA programs since I am from a world top 20 university and did some research? Also as you said, what graduate degrees computer related are out there which will help me land good jobs? And which schools offer these degrees?
  6. Hi, I am currently 24, turning 25 years this fall. My undergraduate background is in biology. GPA is 2.2. I wrote my GRE November 2013 got scores of 152 V and 154 Q 4.5 AW. Actually, Before I was able to graduate I attended a caribbean medical school and didn't do well there. Mean while, before I wanna graduate I want to work to help my finances (gain some experience in the IT field in an entry level job - I am currently getting some IT training). Currently my work experience is 1 year in customer service, 6 months as a summer intern in an NGO, numerous hospital volunteering, leadership experiences. I plan to graduate when I am 26-27. Then apply for MBA schools in the States. What are my chances for a top tier or even a upper mid tier MBA school? Eventually, I hope to make a career in the IT field...maybe start a small company sort of thing
