<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>

<p>You can apply, but I think it is highly unlikely you will get admitted to Berkeley. It is considered in the top 3 in the world for engineering, and you will need a significantly higher GPA. Your work history is impressive.</p>
<p>Though, Berkeley now has this “Professional MS Engineering” degree, which is this sort of hybrid engineering/business degree, which it didn’t have a few years back… but my impression is that it really is just a money making venture… charge professionals an exorbitant amount to “buy” your “professional” degree… there is ZERO financial aid for this “professional” degree.

<p>On the other hand, you probably have an excellent shot at SFSU.</p>
<p>Little know fact: Stanley Mazor, who is co-inventer of the world’s first microprocessor, graduated from SFSU undergrad.</p>
<p>Dear friends,
I really appreciate your truly helpful comments. I will pass UC Berkeley, since it is kinda impossible. SFSU is much much more reasonable shot.
After years of doing business, I totally realize the lack of technical skills will keep me from opportunities. Right or wrong, I really can’t answer for myself. At some points, I want to go for MBA (Entrepreneurship), because Start-up is my lifetime job. What do you think? Could you spare me a minute for some advices?</p>
