  1. I think attending a different school (even for an MS) would broaden your horizons and challenge you. You could use the summer to intern in an industry segment you are interested in. I also feel that MIT, Stanford and Berkeley have a lot more interdisciplinary options that could prepare you better for a professional career.
  2. I feel you have a good shot at all the schools. Just need to make sure you write a SOP where can project yourself as a good fit at the program. I would suggest applying to just a M.S program at a few schools on that list. Getting into the M.S program is a bit easier, you might need to support yourself for a semester or so.

    SOP review

    I can give it a shot. PM me
  4. Hi Guys I am joining CMU in the spring semester. Have been searching for an apartment online. I found a few apartments that looked nice: 1) Hempstead Properties 2) Walnut on the Park 3) Hobart Court All three are manged by Walnut Capital. I was wondering if any of these would be good choices. It seems that they will be about 2 miles from Scaife Hall. I think all of them are close to schenley park .Is the shuttle service quite regular in these parts? I dont mind walking that distance either, if the roads are kept clear. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
  5. I encountered this question in all my applications (CMU, MIT, Duke and WUSTL). It tends to be a standard question. It probably is used by the university to evaluate its standing among other universities based on the calibre of students applying during the year.
  6. thanks newms. your suggestions were valuable in improving my SOP.
  7. Congrats Nano. I got into the mechanical engineering masters program at CMU.
  8. I think if you can write an SOP which ties all your industry experience with the research being conducted bya specific prof/groups at those schools you would have a fair shot. Might need to improve your verbal score a bit (most of the top programs average around 580-600). You should also apply to some schools between rank 10-20. Hope that helps.
  9. Most schools start reviewing application after the official deadline. Typically spring admission deadline is september 30 - october 15. I would think 1 month after the deadline would be fair game. I am assuming I will get some feedback after the 2nd week of november.
  10. I am not very certain about CS programs (you need to consider if the program is conducting research that matches your interest). Based on US News stats, these are some unis to consider: Michigan State University University of Illinois--Chicago Northeastern University University at Buffalo--SUNY Syracuse University Oregon State University University of Tennessee--Knoxville University of Delaware University of Connecticut Some one pursuing masters in CS or with undergraduate background would be better equipped to handle this question.
  11. I looked at the thread. Not a whole lot spring 10 info there. I did notice that Duke and CMU were quite good with notifications. Penn State and MIT might take their sweet time. Thanks
  12. Tentatively when do you think I would start recieving accept/reject notifications for the Spring 2011 session? What is longest delay you would expect. Schools I am applying to have deadlines around the oct 15. Thanks
  13. If you are applying to the MS program, I think you would have a good chance at: NCSU University of Arizona University of Irvine North Dakota State University As you are aware, the economy in the US is slow at this time. Therefore, a number of qualified applicants (with work experience or professional aspirations after college) will be a lot greater. Just something to consider.
