Thanks buddy . Hey that's the Problem i had , thaks for the info Actually my scenario is like , i have 3 Ph.D Prof who can give me Lor's . But out of them i have worked closely with only one Prof, who has promised me a Strong Lor. The other two prof have said that they could provide a general (a moderate Lor i guess) one . But i have two other Asst. Prof (pursuing-Ph.D) with whom i have worked closely and provide me with good Lor's . So my dilemma was , whether it was to 'Ph.D with moderate Lor' or 'Asst. Prof with Good Lor' . What do you say >?

Sure , I am looking forward for spl. in Artificial Intelligence and my second spl. would be Pervasive/Mobile Computing. I would like to filter them based on funding scenario and the job opportunity. Like i find the fee to be Nominal in Suny but i fear the NY has a very high living cost . so i kinda need to filter some of them.

Guyz can you help me out with the list i have prepared to apply for FALL 2011 , Please comment on the college that i have good chances of acceptance so that i can shortlist them to 6 . My Profile Fall 2011:MS CS:GRE:1290(520V,770Q,3.5) TOEFL: 105; Aggr; 80% Dr.MCET,Anna University List of Colleges i have Planned - Arizona State University North Carolina State University, Raleigh Missouri University of Science and Technology SUNY, Stony Brook SUNY, Binghamton University of South Florida Clemson University University of Connecticut Kansas State University The University of Texas at Dallas The University of Texas at Arlingon Northeastern University University of South Carolina, Columbia University of Southern California(Found it costly ) Thanks and regards, Manoj

Ya , some senior lectures and Asst. Prof are currently pursuing their PHD's . Will it ok be to get a Letter of recommendation from them ?

Does Letter of recommendation can be obatained from a Senior Lecture who is an assistant professor, as they have personally handled classes for me. I see that every graduate program asks for a average of 3 letters. I have planned to obtain my Lor from a PHD prof (under whom i have done my project),Asst. Prof(Who has the Head of myDepartment) and a Senior Lecture (also n Asst Professor) who has handled classes for me. Will this weaken my Profile or does Letters from non-PHD ppl still count ? And how to make an Lor's to a strong one ? I have had good acads in all their subjects , but i didn't get any chance to make research during my undergraduation . Thanks and regards, Manoj

Thank you ! I find that every enitity plays a vital role in the admission process. . . So my Sop had to deal with my areas of interest with a comment on a recent finding / work in my area of intertest. This is a very usefull point , thank you fellas.

But i didn't have a chance to do my research in undergarduate level , except for my final year project. I am presently working in an Indian MNC. If you say , universities would look in to my previous research experience , what do you mean ?

Hi newms, I am plannin to do a research based Masters in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Can you filter out the universtiies from the list i have mentioned above and also indicate my approx. chances of getting in to them...... regards, Manoj

Oh ! Ok , So i better start checking out these universities too... Thanks rs_nucl

So there will be a tough competition this fall2011, maybe. . Which other univ's would you suggest for safe list ??

Thank for your comments rs_nucl i will consider taking GRE again. But with this score do i still have a chance at NCSU or ASU for FALL 2011 ? Which other universities in my list could you tell to be safe according to my current profile ?
