<p>Degree: B.S. Computer Engineering at Syracuse University (expected graduation date: May 2011)
Cumulative GPA: <3.0 (I know.)
Fall 2010 semester GPA (most difficult courses; VLSI, VHDL, embedded sys): 3.7
Plan to take GREs in the spring</p>
<p>Hi I'm new here, thought I'd try this out. By taking a quick glance in the forums, I can tell there are so many geniuses in here (seriously, I don't know how you people get 3.8+ GPAs in engineering). Anyway, I've already been accepted to the Syracuse Univ. grad program, but after a successful start to my senior year (successful for me personally) I've changed my mind about not applying to other grad schools.
Some grad schools I have in mind are Brown Univ, UNC Chapel Hill and Tuft Univ. Can someone tell me if these schools are realistic/unrealistic? If you don't think I have a chance in hell of getting in then please say so, I would much rather save my time and money. Also if you could recommend any other grad schools that would be great.
Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks!</p>
