PhD in EE

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I recently finished up my GRE and am finally getting down to do apps and getting things done for grad school. I am looking at PhD and possibly some masters programs in Electrical Engineering. My gpa is a bit mediocre at 3.4 but I am in engineering physics in a top 10 engineering school. I have a couple years of research but no publishings and my GRE are 4.5/W590/Q790. Here are my choices:</p>

<p>U. Mich
U. Illinois
Georgia Tech
MIT
Stanford
Caltech
U.C. Berkeley
Cornell
U.T. Austin
Princeton</p>

<p>I think the top 3 to 5 are a bit of a long shot but I should have some good chances at others. What do you all think? Any comments are much appreciated.</p>

<p>You should talk to professors from your school to see what sorts of grad schools similar students have gotten into. If you're in a top 10 university for engineering physics I'm sure they get a good number of students every year that go off to grad school. They'll be able to give you a much better estimate of where you'll get in than we will.</p>

<p>Reaver is right. Talk to your advisor as he/she will know more.</p>
