Stanford Graduate School, what are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello everyone. I was wondering if I have at least slight chance of getting accepted into Stanford graduate school for aerospace engineering.</p>

<p>I am graduating from one of top 5 universities of Japan, with an overall GPA of 3.8. All my courses were taught in English. I am majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace engineering.</p>

<p>I have completed an internship for Boeing Japan, and in Civil Aviation Authority of Japan. I was guaranteed a position in the CAA after my completion of master's degree. </p>

<p>I haven't taken GRE yet, but I am confident that I can do well :).</p>

<p>I have been teaching teaching IBT to Japanese students for three years, and mathematics and physics to high school students since my first year. I have also done teaching assistant to couple of classes.</p>

<p>I know my CV is not impressive, and was just wondering if I have any chance. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m no expert, but I think grad school admissions are generally easier than undergrad, and with enough experience like the internships you have and a good GRE in addition to rec letters, you should have a pretty good chance. I would apply to some other schools as well though just in case. My suggestions are UMich, UTexas-Austin, MIT, Purdue, Georgia Tech, maybe Princeton Cornell or Caltech as well. Good luck!</p>

<p>^^ Not really. Most “top” programs have <10% acceptance rates, and I doubt any program at Stanford is easier to get into than the other.</p>

<p>Anyway, this isn’t the right place to ask this question. Google for grad school engineering forums and ask your question there. It is highly likely that posters there will tell you that you don’t have a very good chance at Stanford, but those guys are highly pessimistic. Just apply and find out.</p>
