where might i apply with my stats (EE)

Graduate School

<p>Hi guys, I'm a rising senior at Stanford University majoring in EE and minoring in Math. </p>

<p>My GPA is kinda low, 2.998, in large part because last year (we're on the quarter system) I took about 5 classes in each of fall and winter quarter almost all in math and EE and really started to burn out.</p>

<p>So, I stockpiled a bunch of C+'s and one C.</p>

<p>My GRE scores are pretty solid
800 Quant
690 Verb
6 Analytical Writing</p>

<p>I've had summer research experience the past 2 years, but only one of those years is any good for a rec, since my prof the other year I never really interacted with and he's leaving Stanford.</p>

<p>With decent recs I was wondering where I would have the greatest chance of getting accepted for an MS in EE?</p>

<p>A lot of the top schools require GPA's of at least 3.3, so is there any point in applying to them? I honestly feel horrible about last year, and am going to try to do everything in my power this year to bump up my GPA.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Have no idea, and can’t give you an answer. </p>

<p>However, I have a question that may come up, "Why did you sacrifice your major grades for a minor subject? Why even do a minor in mathematics, don’t you get enough math as a EE?</p>

<p>for some time I was deluding myself in thinking that I could get a double major in math and ee</p>

<p>Can you stay an extra year and bump up your GPA to a 3.3?</p>

<p>apply for coterm. It’s kinda hard to get in with that GPA though. I dunno man. It’ll be hard for you to apply to any top tier program even though u r from STanford</p>
