<p>Dear CCF members:</p>
<p>First of all, I really appreciate all the comments and discussions in the past few years when I visited this forum and I actually learned a lot of helpful information regarding undergraduate admission particularly to UC schools. Between, I'm graduating this June from UCLA. </p>
<p>I have decided to advance my academic goals so I have recently applied to some Master degree programs:
1. MS in Electrical engineering at UCLA
2. MS in Electrical engineering at USC
3. MS in Engineering Management at USC
4. MS in Electrical engineering at Calstate LA (safety)
I applied to these programs in February or March while I didn't take the GRE so my application is incomplete and I'm still nervously waiting for my admission decision. I'm kind of concerned because I learn that lots of applicants have received their admission decisions already but my application was delayed because of the GRE. </p>
<p>Anyways, here is my profile:
Pasadena City College (PCC): 3.8 (math major)
UCLA: 3.5 (math/applied science with accounting/management)</p>
<p>Straight A in:
single variable calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equation, fundamental of computer science, C++ programming, and upper division real analysis, and optimization together with
at least B+ in all other math courses. </p>
<p>Completed 2 MBA graduate management science courses</p>
<p>Working experience: (all part time)
2 years of math tutoring at PCC</p>
<br>
<p>1 year of grading calculus homework assignment at UCLA</p>
<br>
<p>Scholarships and awards:
Numerous schlarships and awards (combined total amount >$10,000)</p>
<p>GRE score: (I didn't do well on this one because I was rushing to take it without much preparation and I have just received my score today)
Verbal: 380 (extremely concerned about this)
Math: 780
Writting: 4.0 </p>
<p>Letters of recommendations:
Many of my professors have encouraged me to go to graduate school and they highly recommend me. Also, many of them have known me at for years of study. </p>
<p>How much chance realistically do I really have for those programs listed above? Please evaluate my profile if you would like to. I greatly appreciate your comments. </p>
