<p>Hi, i'm applying at these four universities in the aeronautics department for the program of structure.
I took a BS equivalent at polytechnic institute of Turin (Italy) witch a GPA of 29.2 (30 scale)
and a MS equivalent at the same university with a gpa of (28.3) (30 scale)
I don't have any real research experience except my thesis and no publications since it'n not really common in italy to publish anything until you enter a phd program.
Since I didn't have much time to prepare for the tests (GRE and TOEFL) because of the upcoming deadlines i just scored a 163/170 (88%) in the quantitative section, 152/170 (56%) in the verbal and 4/6 (48%) in the analytical and 99 in TOEFL.
I don't know how is the relationship between professors and students in US universities but here in italy only your thesis professor gets to know you well enough to write a strong recommendation letter, the others even if you got a high grade in their class don't have enough information to write about you in a very strong way, so i don't know what exactly my recommenders wrote about me. Do you think I have any chance of getting in one of those universities?</p>
<p>You will need higher quant and analytical scores for these schools.</p>
