campus property management and university groups have very nice cheap apartments to stay but there rating isn't gud. What sort of trouble one should be expecting from them. Also does any have idea about 610 east stoughton urbana apartments.

I dont have the university account ID yet, its better to have others opinion

hii everyone, i m joining UIUC as a graduate student for fall 2013 and i m considering all the housing options both on campus and off campus. Could anyone review the following housing options. Dorms (daniels and sherman), on campus apartments (goodwin-green, ashton woods and orchad downs) or places nearby.

Hii, anyone heading to UIUC for MS or PhD structures specialization?

hi everyone, did anyone got into MS/PhD in structural engineering program? any news on funding

Berkeley result is out. Rejected as expected

any news from UCB, UIUC, Purdue, Georgia or TAMU. for MS international students

Did any international student got acceptance from UCSD, Structural Eng masters.

Hi, . I got an admit from cornell for MS/PhD in structural engineering for fall 2013. I m not really sure about PhD seeing the cost of expenditure and all. What if i want to leave after completing MS, will that be an option or the program is integrated . The website is not clear abt the MS/PhD program funda.

Hey, i have a confusion about the MS/PhD program of cornell university. In this program, after MS is it compulsory to go for PhD or its optional and if u terminate after MS, then how is the job scenario.

I am applying for MS in structural engineering (Fall 2013). Below is my profile, please suggest me universities to apply Departmental rank 4th in Delhi college of Engineering ( it is among the top 10 colleges of India) GRE Test Date: 04/26/2011 Total Score: 1360 Sub-section scores (Quantitative, Verbal , AWA): QUANT-800, VERBAL- 560, AWA – 3.5 TOEFL Test date: . . . 8/19/2012 Total Score: 103 Sub scores –LISTENING-27, SPEAKING-26, READING-25, WRITING-25 Projects & Training 1. Project in IIT-Delhi on the blast response of 3D cylindrical water storage tank and studying the different parameters which affect the response magnitude by simulation using Abacqus/CAE software. Lead author of journal written on this project in “computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering”. http://www.journals.elsevier.com/compute...ineering/. The paper is currently under review. 2. Project in IIT Delhi on 2D analysis of rigid and flexible water tank sloshing using finite elements, CEL analysis method in Abaqus/CAE.. 3. Project in IIT-Delhi on parametric study of storage tank under seismic base excitation using Abaqus/CAE. Currently preparing journal on this topic as lead author of the paper. 4. Project in DCE on study of earthquake responses envelopes of MDF steel building for a given earthquake data and variable angle of attack, using MATLAB as computational tool and optimizing the structure which was earlier designed using STAAD Pro. (it was actually work of Prof of UCB, i modified to include more parameters and did it using different software i.e. MATLAB) 5. Winter training at Marg Limited- sites assigned were MES-RR Hospital, Dhaula Kuan & NBCC- Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra , Chanakyapuri. 6. Summer training at LARSON & TOUBRO LIMITED , Location- Bhai Veer Singh Marg near Gol Market, New Delhi. The primary aim of the project was to construct a commercial complex to rehabilitate the shop owners displaced during the construction of the Metro line in Delhi. LOR'S 1) from my project guide at IIT-Delhi, i worked under him for about 6 months 2) BTech final year project guide at DCE 3) Prof at DCE (taught for 1.5 years) Names of universities which i have shortlisted, please comment and suggest if i am being too ambitious University of California--Berkeley University of Illinois--Urbana-Champaign Georgia Institute of Technology Purdue University--West Lafayette University of Texas--Austin (Cockrell) University of Michigan--Ann Arbor Virginia Tech Carnegie Mellon University Northwestern University (McCormick) Texas A&M University--College Station (Look) University of Wisconsin—Madison University of Minnesota--Twin Cities Lehigh University (Rossin) University of Washington North Carolina State University Please suggest, if i am being too ambitious about some universities also if i am missing some gud university please mention them.

i appreciate ur suggestion but for now my academic profile is more important.

Thanks for ur reply. NO i m not from IITs, my college is Delhi Technological University (formaly known as Delhi College of Engineering). One more thing i have lot of experience of working on live projects which are like one of a kind in india, so will this count. When i talked to profs of IIT for research paper they replied that it is required if one is applying for PhD. Well roughly what number of papers are required i mean i have like just 6 months left to apply to universities. I also thought doing like ur way, i have made a list of 4-5 prof and their areas of research and i m studying text on that, with the hope to get something hardcore published on it.

hi, today i gave gre, my gre score is 1360 (800 quant and 560 verbal) .. waiting for the awa report... i dont know whether its gud or bad. I m applying for MS in civil engineering (structures preferably) and my dream university is UCB. currently i m in 3rd year in a very gud college in india, its like among the top 10 colleges of the country and my departmental rank is 3, so as far as academics are concerned i m pretty gud at it. I have worked on 3 live project worth million dollars each with internationally renowned companies. As such i dont have any research experience, i m working on it. So can u guys guide me what source of projects should i do or what more i require to make my profile gud becoz i m aiming for very gud universities esp UCB.
