<p>first of all thank 2 all u guys for ur post. </p>
<p>merper68,
as far as the gre is conscerned, i definetely plan on taking it again over the summer to raise my quantitative score( i didnt really spend much time preparing for it the first time around so im fairly confident ill do better next time)
nauru,
my college doesnt really provide much research xperience so i never had the opportunity before but thankfully this summer i got accepted into an internship program in software development and networking. it works out perfectly as i plan on concentrating on networking in grad school.
as far as LOR's i was thinking since i would be doing an internship for the summer i figured getting one from the advisor that i would be working with would be great. my professors know me pretty well so i believe LOR from them should be very good.
so since carnegie mellon might be a reach what other schools would any1 recommend??</p>
