<p>Hi. I have recently graduated as a computer software engineer with a cumulative GPA of 3.34/4.0 . I wish to pursue graduate studies at Purdue and MIT (though i am being very optimistic here!). I got the award for being best in Research and Development in my batch. I have won a national software competition which ofcourse is a national distinction. I also have two publications regarding my final year project. Moreover i have one year of experience working in the Pakistan Telecom giant, Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited. I have not yet taken the GRE, by the way both purdue and MIT don't require you to take the GRE when applying for computer science graduate studies.</p>
<p>What other options do i have?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
