Hi,
I am from India,I am targetting for fall '13. I had completed my B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering in 2008 with a GPA of 8.38/10. By the time i join the grad-schools I will have about 4.5+yrs of experience in software testing(both manual and automated) in two MNC's(I got a job in the software industry and worked in the same). Now my question is:
1. I want to do a MS in Computer Science, so as my background is in Mechanical, will it be a problem or will it have negative impact ?
2. In which Universities can i get full funding with assistant-ship and will my mechanical background be a problem for getting funding and assistant-ships?? US/UK/Canada..all will do..
3. Is my work exp a positive or it will be treated as something negative as I had a break in academics for almost 5 years?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, I am really new to this so want some help regarding these. My questions may seem very stupid , silly and basic, but I am a total newbie in this. So please help me out.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
