Rate me in PhD of Civil Engineering

[tazarv]

Dear My Friends

I am an international applicant. My GRE score are awful, because I was involved in MSc thesis (Q:750, V:350; W:2.5) ?

But, I have got 7 national and international Conference papers that are concentrated on Earthquake Engineering and also a Book in Structural Analysis. I am 25.

Nowadays, I am working to Publish 2 papers on Well-profiled journals.

In addition, I have applied for 8 universities as fallows:

U. Illinois at Urbana, Georgia Institute of Technology, Columbia, USC, Buffalo, Washington University in St. Louis, UW at Seattle and University of Missouri.

Could you please tell me your idea about my chance.

From what I hear, most Engineering programs focus more on the quantitative portion of the GRE than the verbal or writing, so that may not hurt you too much. That's especially true since you have a very good quant. score.

Having published papers will definitely help you out!

How was your undergrad work? Did you go to a prestigious school, and did you receive a decent GPA?

Your low verbal and writing GRE scores alone shouldn't prevent you from being accepted to a good graduate program.

Those scores are below the lowest level that my grad school will admit.
