  1. I deleted the google link but I will be happy to PM anyone who want to proofread it. I don't have issues with grammar more with a flow. It's very short one so I want to make sure I was able to full express myself as much as possible. Thanks anyone who is willing to read my SOP.
  2. I am applying for Master of Science in Electrical engineering. I wonder if someone can review my Statement of Intent. It has to have approximately 300 words. I will appreciate suggestions and critique. Thank you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hgZIxO8EEcdjwQN3EK8RiqXEKW-pa3H8lzjwx5HoO0I/edit?usp=sharing
  3. I am applying for MSc in Engineering. Could someone take a look at my CV and provide an input? It was done in Latex. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B06wvMLFGBIiTTFGUmNtVW9WUTg Thank you.
  4. I am doing research at University 2 and have done another at another university. At University 1, I have done a Capstone (Senior Design) project that involved building a physical device but it took me almost 6 months of research of figuring out how to do it. I will add summary of research in introduction. I keep getting different comments about CV. Some people say that it's too pushy to attach CV in the first email, while others recommend doing so. I am still debating about doing it. But I appreciate your comment and input. Thank you.
  5. Good day, I will be applying to Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and I would like to get a feedback on my email to prospective advisors: Dear Dr [Last Name], My name is [First name Last name] and I will be applying for Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with concentration in Power Engineering. I graduated with Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from [University 1] and currently, I am post-baccalaereuate student at [University 2], where I take graduate level classes in power systems. I have read your paper [Last name et al] in [journal name] and I am curious about your plans to follow up on this line of research. As I am very interested in joining your group to do research in , I wonder if you accept graduate students for the Fall 2017? If so, I would greatly appreciate the chance to have a short phone or Skype conversation with you to discover the possibilities of me joining your group at [school name]. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, [First name Last Name]
  6. Good day guys, I am an international student looking to get into Master of Science program. English is my second language and I would appreciate if someone can proof read my SOP. Thank you. https://docs.google.com/document/d/13vJbQp4OcnS4Tjd9zOm5UtL_n7eu7iz4UzrjnT2pSPY/edit?usp=sharing
  7. I see. What if I do not get published but still will show that I have research experience? It could be done by asking for a LOR from research advisor. I have one more question. After googling and researching, I noticed that no one has ever gone that route. Do you think that it might actually look bad if I get Professional Masters in Power Engineering and then go for Master of Science in Controls Engineering? They are both branches of Electrical Engineering which means I pretty much do Masters in the same field (even though classes would be different and overall curriculum is not the same). If you think, that would look a little bit odd, then what would you suggest? I don't want to take Professional Masters in a completely different field because I want to show that I am capable of taking graduate level classes.
  8. I am not applying this year. I will most likely apply in 1 year time-period. I hope by that time I will have published article. Also, Professional masters do consist of graduate level courses. In my university (the one I receive BSc from), Master of Engineering (AKA professional Masters) is pretty much Master of Science without thesis. I plan to beast MEE and then apply. Thus, it will show the graduate committee that I can handle graduate level classes. What would be your suggestion? How can I improve my profile for UBC, McGill and UToronto? I can afford to fund myself through the first year, if that would make a big difference.
  9. So, my situation is the following. I graduated with 3.05 CGPA from Electrical Engineer department (my major GPA is similar, have 3,04 for 3/4 level classes. Also, took two graduate level classes). I currently work as electrical engineer and I am interested in going to grad. school for MSc (interested in University of British Columbia, University of Toronto and McGill). My first choice school (UBC) doesn't require GRE (it is listed as optional but I will take it anyways). I am also writing a research paper and plan to publish it. LOR: I will have two pretty strong LORs but from people in the industry. Now the weak point: undergrad GPA. Since, I am currently working in a completely different country, going back to my school for post baccalaureate is not an option. But here what I thought would be a good idea: taking a 1.5 year professional Masters (goes as Master of Electrical Engineering) in the country where I currently work. Note, that is not a thesis option, so hopefully admission committee will not question why do I need a second Masters. So the question is: will getting Masters of Electrical Engineering (non-thesis based) while I work full-time help with my chances of getting into grad school? If not, what would be your suggestions? I am also an international student, even though I got BSc from the USA. Thank you.
