Hi there, I'm applying to MS in electrical engineering for Fall 2013. Wondering if any of you guys could let me know my chances (apps are all in basically, just want some idea of what to expect). Undergrad School: Duke University Major: Dual in ECE and BME GPA: 3.873/4.0 GRE: 170 Quant, 164 Verbal, 4.5 Writing No relevant research experience, but I think my LOCs are fairly strong. Schools I applied to: Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, USC, UMich, UIUC, CMU, Duke Thanks everyone!
