<p>I wanted to get some feedback on my chances of getting into several PE programs:</p>
<p>Top Choices:
Texas
Stanford</p>
<p>Safeties:
Penn State
Texas Tech</p>
<p>Background:
US not international
GPA - 3.27 Mech Eng Ohio State (partied a lot, severely underachieved out of that phase now)
Work Experience - 4 yrs
LOR - Would be all from work contacts and none from profs
GRE - 780 Q / 580 V
Research - 0, but decent work stuff I could explain</p>
<p>How selective are the PE masters programs? Doing my research it seems like they might not be nearly as selective as a typical Mech Eng program, etc, thoughts?</p>
<p>I've considered getting an MBA but would really prefer to stay in a technical degree, especially with the money that PE's can pull down.</p>
