Here's my profile:
AAS Electrical Technology, Purdue, 3.2
BA, Romance Languages, Purdue, 3.2
MBA, Marketing, San Jose State U, 3.5
AS, CS, Mission College (12/2013), 4.0
GRE -- Q: 164, V: 163, writing score not rcvd yet
20 years of work experience in sales/marketing computer hardware
no research, but have written white papers, data sheets and press releases on memory and SSDs.
Assume 3 strong refs from community college professors (Mission)
My target schools for MSCS starting fall 2014 are:
Berkeley
Stanford
UCLA
UCSD
UCSB
UC Irvine
I strongly prefer my top 2 picks because they're within commute range from home and outstanding schools.
So what are my chances for top 2, and next 4 picks?
Any other advice/suggestions welcome.
