I am applying to HCI Grad schools for Fall 2014 admissions.
I have little to no experience of the field, albeit I have developed a strong interest in the past 3 months. I come from a Computer Science background, and at my workplace, I have been/am working on things that don't even remotely relate to interfaces.(sql/unix/java).
CGPA: 6.9/10
Yet to take the GRE (Expecting ~310, give or take 5)
Work Ex.: >1.5 years
Projects: a HTML 5 game, A RSS reader app, things like these, etc.
LoRs from: Dean, internship mentor, Present project manager.
I am planning to make some more very interesting projects in the following months before applying to colleges.
I have shortlisted the following:
IU, Bloomington
IUPUI, Indiana
Iowa State
U Michigan
Suggestions are welcome.
