Chances for a Engineering Masters Program

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am thinking about applying to a masters program for mechanical engineering.
Here are my stats</p>

<p>Major: Mechanical Engineering
GPA: 3.08 ( I know its low, I was pretty immature back in school)
GRE: 160V 162Q 4.0AW
LOR: one from Professor, one from my intern research manager, one from my current engineering manager. </p>

<p>Work Experience: 2 internships. I also found a job right out of college and I am going into my second year as a manufacturing engineer.</p>

<p>Here are the schools I am thinking about</p>

<p>Ohio University
Pitt
Temple
Cincinnati
Tennessee
Northwestern (reach !)</p>

<p>I know I have a low gpa but I was hoping my 2 years of work experience would help.
Hopefully you guys can let me know what my chances are! Thanks !</p>

<p>Chancing for a thesis program is a lot murkier than for a non-thesis program.</p>

<p>Do you want to go for a thesis or non-thesis MEng?</p>

<p>I want to do a thesis option but I would be fine with an non thesis m. eng. </p>

<p>Would a m. eng. be much easier to get in ?</p>

<p>Typically the admission standards for a non-thesis program are a bit more relaxed. Work experience helps too, however, asking for chances of admission on this forum is sort of pointless. Just contact the departments directly and ask.</p>
