What schools are in my reach for an MS in EE?

Graduate School
1

<p>Hey everyone. Hopefully I'm posting in the proper section of the forum, if not then excuse me. I'm applying to graduate schools and I'm curious as to whether or not these schools are viable options for me or not:</p>

<p>University of Miami (Florida)
Santa Clara University
University California Riverside
University Colorado Boulder
San Jose State University</p>

<p>I have a 3.4 gpa</p>

<p>My GRE is: 750Q, 540V, 4.0AW</p>

<p>Are these schools "up my alley?"</p>

<p>I think I should also mention that I only have a minor in EE (I majored in mechanical engineering). I however did much better in my minor. My minor GPA was 3.8+ I believe. I don't know how much of an issue it will be to apply to a major other than my own. I also have a pretty good upward trend in grades (I made Dean's list four times the last four semesters). Oh, I'm not sure how much it matters (if it even matters anything at all) but I'm a domestic student. So what do you guys think about my choices? Also feel free to toss out any other schools I should consider and any advice in applying to grad school in general. Thank you for taking the time to read this.</p>

<p>Bump. Anyone?</p>

<p>I would recommend to apply to more schools (at least 10), but everything seems to be in order.</p>

<p>If you did all of the EE prereqs (EMag I & II, Mechanotrics, math up to linear algebra, etc), and all of the tech electives (Java, C++, Fortran, etc) you should be ok. I started out as a ChemE, and all of the engineering students at my school took all of the same courses until about the last semister in our Soph. year. So it shouldn’t be a such a big deal. Oh, and applied physics classes and applied math classes would help a great deal also.</p>
