<p>Dear friends, counselors, professors, or anyone can hear me,</p>

<p>I am planning to go for M.S Engineering (Electrical and Computer, or Clean Tech). I got my CSU Long Beach B.S Finance GPA 3.2. I earned my B.S while working full time for a trading company. My current position is VP, handle mostly everything. I have tons of experience in heavy equipment, transportation equipment, construction machine, recycle product, and logistic, as well as international business. I started my college life in Computer Science for couple of years, done a lot of Physics, Math, Computer Science and Chemistry classes with good grades. I am currently in SoCal, but I plan to move to SF, because my wife is planning on her Master in Tax at GGU. I cannot live too far from my wife school, so based on GGU location, my no.1 school is UCB, no.2 is SFSU. After doing some researches, I am still not sure about couple of questions:</p>

<ol>
<li>Is this possible for me to get in UCB M.S program?</li>
<li>How good I have to be? GRE? Recommendations? </li>
</ol>

<p>I really hope that I can get some feedbacks from experience friends, counselors, professors, or anyone can hear me.</p>

<p>Best regards,</p>

<li>no</li>
<li>stellar, near perfect Math GRE, strong letters</li>
</ol>

<p>Contact the graduate coordinator for the program at SFSU to discuss your qualifications. It is possible you could be conditionally admitted.</p>

<p>Thank you so much.</p>

<li><p>I hate to say that anything is impossible… but you’re close. UCB is a TOP EE program, and the combination of your below-average GPA with your lack of engineering fundamentals or research means that you will not get more than a cursory glance before hitting the reject pile. Even at SFSU you are going to struggle to get anyone to even consider you.</p></li>
<li><p>You would definitely need some preliminary engineering coursework with excellent grades. Your GRE won’t help much, even if it is perfect, as it is the least important part of your application. As to recommendations, that depends on who they are from - if they are from people in the financial world then they are nearly worthless, but if you have been moonlighting doing engineering research with a university prof then you might have a chance!</p></li>
