I have around 8 years of work experience. After this stage, the possible step is to go along management track. But, I am neither interested nor it appeals me. Thinking more on this, I have decided to go and study in university. Preferably extensive study like a PhD or worst case masters degree.
My GRE and acads are not so strong as well. GRE - 1100 with 770 in math and 3.0GPA/4.0. My experience includes companies like amazon, zynga. No research experience whatsoever. Am I a good candidate for PhD or masters with research? My primary interests are in computer graphics or applied mathematics in simulation/visualization.
What do you guys suggest me to do? I am aiming for top 20, but not sure if it will be right thing to do.
Thank you. Yeah, my GRE was taken 3 years back. I will look for top 50. Do you suggest e-mailing to professors before applying? Will that be acceptable in US universities?
