Hi guys, first post.
I was just admitted to UIUC for an MS. No funding.
My stats:
GPA: 3.57
GRE: 159V, 160Q, 5.0AW.
Research: None.
Experience: I have 21 months of internship experience. I spent 15 with Arup in geotechnical engineering. I was heavily involved in extra curriculars including design teams.
I also applied to MIT, Stanford, and UofT for professional M.Eng/MS programs.
Cheers and Good Luck!
