Chemical Engineering MS

<p>Hi, I am an international Indian student and am planning to apply for MS in Chemical Engineering for the fall session of 2014. As i am an international student i really donot know how how to convert my CGPA and majors GPA to the american scale of four, but they are pretty decent
Cummilative: 8.23/10
Majors: 9.42/10</p>

<p>I have tons of research experience with 2 projects at my undergraduate school, and an ongoing offcampus thesis (6months) at one of the biggest and reputed labs of India(NCL).</p>

<p>My LOR's would be from good profs including the HOD of my college, the scientist i am currently working with and the R&D consultant of my undergraduate school.</p>

<p>I also have chances of attending an international conference, if my paper gets through.</p>

<p>My toefl score is a 107/120
and i am yet to give my GRE, which is scheduled on the 18th of the next month.
I am really confused about which schools i should apply to? and would appreciate some help on the same.</p>

<p>No need to Covert.</p>

<p>And I see that you have already posted in the ‘Graduate School’ forum. That is where your thread belongs and you are most likely to recieve responses as well.</p>

<p>i have seen the list, i have shortlisted the following colleges,( i just did not mention it in the original post as it would have been too lengthy):
University of Minnesota
University of Wisconsin at Madison
UT Austin
Purdue (West Lafayate)
Cornell
Penn state
They have the areas of research in which i am interested in.
All i wanted to know is whether are these good choices for me or superficial and i am being too audacious to apply to the above mentioned schools.</p>
