Hello, below are my credentials, I would like to know my chances of getting into a grad school.
Degree: Bachelors Engineering Mechanical Engineering
GPA: 2.945
Research: 1 month in nano-technology (left for internship)
Internship: 1.5 yrs in construction based
Professional: 11.5 years in the patent office
Activities: many design projects
Honors:President of an engineering club and many scholarships
Last 2 year GPA's including summer are as follows: 3.056, 3.515, 3.65(summer), 2.75, 2.9 --> average = 3.1742
My wish is to go to Polytech institute of NYU for their part time program which does not require a GRE. Hence, if I take the GRE and score really high would that put me oat a better advantage over my competition?
After talking to a counselor, she told me since I have no background in computers and since my GPA is low I have to take classes in comp sci beforehand. Because, as is, may not be good enough.
So I am weighing my options and would like advice on taking the following routes:
1.) Score High on GRE;s
2.) Do a second bachelors (take only 4 classes to be considered for masters that is without completing the full bachelors)
3.) Do my masters in Mech Eningeering obtain a good GPA then go to a masters program in comp sci.
What are my chances of getting in through the above routes? Which is my best bet? Are there any other routes to take? Please help.
