<p>Can anyone tell me if I have any chance of getting accepted to Stanford for a MS in Aero/Astro? I will be a senior in aerospace engineering at University of Illinois this fall. I'm particularly worried about my limited research experience.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.73
GRE: Quant - 790, Verb - 570, Writing - don't know yet</p>
<p>I just completed a summer research internship at U of I under two faculty advisors and they seemed happy with my work. I will continue to work for them in the fall semester and I should be able to get two strong letters of recommendations out of it; the problem is that the research is not really related to my area of interest (the research is in tribology and my interest is in controls). </p>
<p>I will also be taking a special topics design course related to controls this fall. Since I'm the only one registered in the course, I should be able to develop a fairly significant relationship with the professor for my third letter of recommendation.</p>
<p>Will this be enough for a decent shot at Stanford? What about UCLA or UCSD?</p>
