gatorgirl Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Your scores seem pretty high for an international. Since you are looking for Masters, I would say apply to a mix of top schools and 2nd tier. But also look into how you will fund it, because funding is much harder to come by for a masters. Maybe apply to a safety or two that may offer you more money. Then wait it out and see where you get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorgirl Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 ps. I applied to 10 schools. Just beware, it's costly. $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newms Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm not in your field but I your stats are good and you should have a decent shot at a top program. Use the summer to intern as you say, or try to use it to get some research experience and you should be in a pretty good place come application season later in the year. Just make sure to apply to a mix of schools to increase your chances of admission. And 10 schools is not too much - I'm applying to 10 as well this year. Do make sure to give your LoR writers lots of notice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
