Undergrad Institution: Average Engineering School in Russia (Bachelor of Engineering + Master of Engineering) Major(s): Marine and Ocean Engineering ( kind of electronics and control systems in Navy) Minor(s): N/A GPA in Major: BEng 3.49/4.0, MEng.4.0/4.0 Overall GPA: BEng 3.5/4.0, MEng.4.0/4.0 Length of Degree: BEng (4 years), MEng (2 years) Position in Class: Don't have this thing in Russian Education Type of Student: Domestic with international background (US resident), White female (I guess I'm considered as European) GRE Scores: Q:161(80%) V:143 (18%) - completely failed =( W:3.5 (38%) TOEFL Total:92 Research Experience: 2 years while I was pursuing MEng, in Robotics field. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Have a couple awards for presentations (like the best presentation, finalist in one competition) Pertinent Activities or Jobs: I have 4 years experience in Russian Navy as Control Systems Engineer. Some internships during my education in marine navigation. Some weird jobs in US like administrator. Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: more than 10 publications about a cute robot; 3 additional publications about software while I was working. A lot of presentations about my robot. All publications and presentations were made in Russia. I plan to start taking classes in UW from January in EE (already accepted) - I mentioned it in my SOP, might be helpful... I'm interested in Biorobotics, Robotics, Controls, Automation, VLSI, digital electronics.
