[santosh.aditham]

Hi,

I did my masters in comp sc from Texas Tech University (GPA 3.7) with thesis on distributed computing. Sadly no publications! My GRE is 1120(760+360). I have 2 yrs full-time work ex in software development. With a good SOP and some nice LOR's, what are my chances of getting to CS PhD in the following univs:

1. Univ of Colorado - Boulder

2. VA Tech

3. SUNY stony brook

4. Michigan state univ

5. UT Dallas

6. Florida state univ

7. Univ of Houston - Clear Lake

BTW, I will be applying for Spring 2012!! (I know, its kinda weird)

Most schools do not admit in spring 2012. Funds are managed every fall and thats when new PhD students are admitted. Your verbal GRE might hurt you, why dont u retake the exam? Try to score even higher on the quantitative (although it is already good)? Other than that the schools you are interested in are reasonable. You should be able to get a few admissions.

Good luck!
