@fuzzylogician The letter from the supervisor would talk about a web dev project I did under him in the summer. He does not hold a PHD nor does have someone who can co-sign it but he holds a high position in and MNC. The advisor is someone with a great research background but the drawback is that I didn't work much with him, just a semester project which got over real quick.

it seems pretty good. I would rate a 4.5
or 4

Hey @rising_star and @Warelin , thanks a lot! I was under the wrong impression, just realised my mistake. Thanks again!
So, whenever I search for early applications it mostly ends up only for undergraduates. Are there any top Engineering Universities which offer MS in CSE with early action/early decision protocols?

See about having your direct supervisor co-write the letter with the professor. That way, you get the details from the supervisor and the signature that counts from the professor. (I am assuming here that the professor is both your and the supervisor's boss, although that wasn't entirely clear from your post.)
I am sorry I didn't give all details. They are completely different entities. They do not know each other too.

Instead, you will have to write about your position in your statement of purpose and in your CV. Does your research assistant position allow you to publish or present your work in any way (conferences etc.)? These things on your CV can demonstrate that you are doing good research work. But, I know that many companies will not allow their employees to publish research.
They do not allow me to publish. But thanks for the reply, I'll ask my professor for another one then.

@rising_star, for grad schools they do exist. Like CMU has early decision whose deadline is 1st Nov whereas for regular it is in December.

I cannot ask LOR from work place because they will not be fine with me going for higher studies. But the position here is a research assistant which I think will be very good to showcase in my application. How do I showcase it without my office colleagues knowing it?

I am confused about one recommendation. The supervisor doesn't have a great profile personally but I worked a lot with her and she might write me a better LOR than the professor whom I have not worked with. Whom should I ask?

I have a Q168 and V156 along with 4.5 AWA. I am applying for MS in CS in some top Ivy League Universities. Are these good enough? If not, given that it is almost time to start applying for Fall 2017, is it a wise thing to write again?

I have a GPA of 3.9. But I really want to get into Ivy League or some top Engineering colleges. I understand it's a really tough task. So I want to amplify my chances of getting in. I realised that my profile will not see any significant improvements in the time between applying early or regular. If that is the case, is it advisable to apply early? I heard that only those students who have strong profiles and are confident will apply increasing the early pool's competition. So what should I do?
Supervisor vs Advisor recommendation?
in Letters of Recommendation

@fuzzylogician, it is for Graduate applications. The other letters are from my professors/guides in ML and Concurrency related topics. The third professor I was referring to above comes from a compilers background. Thanks for all the replies btw.
