Chances of getting acceptance

[Bleedoil]

All,

Can anyone tell me what my chances of getting acceptance into a good graduate school would be? if i have industry experience and 3.7/4.0 GPA? I have not taken the GRE exam yet but I am studying for it. I would like to pursue a masters in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on material science. my background is in Petroleum Engineering. I am an engineer with a EIT certification. Additionally, I have a lot of volunteering hours with a nonprofit organization.  What GRE scores would be good enough to get me into the below schools?

School that I would like to apply to include:

Stanford
Columbia University
Brown College
Texas A & M
University of Pennsylvania
UTA
USC
UCLA
UC Berkeley

Thank you all for your assistance

No one can tell you what your chances of acceptance are, we don't have that kind of knowledge. In general, it'd be better to post this kind of question in the subforum that directly deals with your subfield, where there will be more readers who have knowledge of your subfield. But, again, none of us can give you any odds or make you any promises. In addition, I don't know about your field, but at least for other fields, we are also lacking relevant information about prior research experience, strength of LORs, writing sample, SOP. Without those, based solely on GPA and GRE scores, it's hard to say much of anything.

Try to get at least a 165 on your GRE quant. To be perfectly honest though, the whole package matters. I've seen people with scores in the 150s on the quant still get acceptances places (although probably not top-end programs) because they likely had good rec letters and experience to back it up. It's hard to predict how your materials are going to be received by anyone in particular, but at least your GPA isn't the kind that they would just toss out as soon as they see it- so you're almost guaranteed to be under serious consideration at many schools.
