Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering

<p>Hello guys!</p>

<p>I realise i'm really late to the party but I'm considering getting an MS in ChemE beginning Fall 2014 - I graduate in May 2014. I am a senior in ChemE with a GPA of around 3.7 with a minor in Business. I just took the GRE and scored a 161 Q and 159 V with 4.5 in Writing. </p>

<p>I do have some undergraduate research experience - but not necessarily in a ChemE field - more material science. I have interned at a Fortune 500 company and am currently co-oping. </p>

<p>What do you think my chances are of getting into a good program given that I'm pretty late in the application process. I am really interested in CMU, Columbia, Dartmouth etc. Given my scores and background, should I set my sight a little lower?</p>

<p>Thanks for all your help!</p>

<p>Those are pretty selective programs but if you are specifically applying for the Masters, then they might set their standards a bit lower than for the Ph.D. applicants. it would be advisable to apply to some less selective universities too. Look into some of the other [Association</a> of Independent Technological Universities: AITU](<a href=“http://theaitu.org%5DAssociation”>http://theaitu.org) schools.</p>
