Chances of Admission with good research

[appu1985]

Hi finished my undergrads in Electrical Engineering in 2008. I am currently working with Schlumberger Technical Services. I am planning to apply for Fall 2010. I need some guidance. I havent written any GREs as yet. I am planning to write both of them by Nov 2009.

I have undergrad %age as 74% i do not know how universities take them as GPA. The highest percentage was 79% and ranked in top 5% of the students. Besides I have a lot of research experience during my undergrads. I visited Nanyang Technological University for 2 months for a research project in 2007. I visited University of Waterloo, CS deptt for a month for research on Comp Nets. I have also got 4 publication to my name 3 in IEEE tier 2 conferences as WCCI, SMC and FUZZ IEEE and one in Springer Verlag.I have 3 strong letters fo recommendation from prof of good repute in the academia.

I want to pursue PHd in Comp Science and am in a dilemma which schools am i elligible to apply to have fair chances of admission. I have also been doing a lot of research on Comp Nets along with my job.

Please guide me. Also are my dates for GRE in time.

Hi,

I think you have a very good profile. Prior research experience is desired for PhD which you have. I believe you can get into Ivy leagues with 1500+ score.

For GPA conversion, you can ask your prof to write in LOR that you are in top 1% of students. Also, if you have specific universities in your mind, you can see your chances of admission at www.missiongre.com . Use the form to see your profile strength. Taking subject GRE can also increase your chances of getting in top univ.
