Planning for Graduate School Admission

<p>Hello guys,</p>

<p>Recently, I checked university sites, especially US universities, for graduate admission in Mechanical Engineering. I am interested in doing a program at a reputed university for good career prospects. I have a GPA of 2.87 /4.30 for the first two years cumulative at good Canadian university. I don't have any research experience or engineering work experience.</p>

<p>All the requirements and stuff are given on university websites but what I am looking for is a plan for next two years that would help me enter into a reputable college. I tried finding one online, but they are too general. I emailed our guidance counselor and she takes weeks if not months to reply to one single email. </p>

<p>I am quite concerned about my admission in graduate schools so please help.</p>
