Hi,
I am a software developer working in a well known tech company since 3 years (from right after undergrad college). I am about to leave my job soon to work on a business of my own. My new business is unfortunately not a tech start-up which would have increased my chances of getting a CS admit, but it is a normal business not relying on tech.
If my new business doesn't work out, I have plans of doing an MS in the US. I am from a good undergrad college in India, my grades are decent (grade point average 8.5 out of 10), GRE score 315, have published a few CS papers. I have a couple of patents I filed at work after undergrad which are quite high in quality.
But I am worried they will turn me down because of this unrelated career break. Is that a possibility?
thank you
