ALSO, could you please say which colleges I have a chance of getting funding for masters and how? Thank you Please evaluate my profile

I am kinda hoping to get in there..... It's the dream Uni for my profile :/ Thanks a lot for the past 2 days bro btw what about you??? What's your profile? Where did you got in?

Bro.... What about Vtech?

Thanks Jay, I just received this from La Tech's biomed dept Chair. But is the dept funding going to be partial or full???? and regarding Vtech.... I thought it said that their average accepted student has a combined score of 310 in GRE......but I may be wrong.

Nope all are PhD unfunded admits.... and my Gpa in Wes iGPA roughly corresponds to 3.55/4

Actually I could not finish my GRE Quants section and I aced my GRE verbal, but got 3 days to prepare for Toefl and so I did not score good marks. Sorry, I have no TAship experience, I have done my research this way just to get RAship, Do you think its possible? And what about Virginia Tech, do think I can get that? I saw in their website that their avg GRE is 310 and min toefl requirement is 100.This was given in the university website:
