I know I am a little late to the party....but still I would like some feedback for my credentials maybe even for next yea
I have undergrad degree in Electrical Engineering with a 3.46 GPA. I won a gold medal in the final year research project but no actual research material was produced. I have a GRE score of Q:165 V:157 and AWA: 4.0 and a TOEFL score of 110. I also have a year's work experience. I have almost no extra curriculars but quite a good academic record throughout.
I would love to go to some of the top tier schools because eventually I want to be an academic - but is it too long a shot and too much to ask for? At the moment I am applying to UC Berkeley and Caltech.
