That's a pretty good score! How about AWA? What is your score?

You should definitely apply to UCB, GaTech, UIUC, UW Madison, Stanford, UMich, Princeton. Make sure you get some good recommendation letters from your Professors and some people from the industry (like for e.g. LFY Editor etc.). That should help a lot.

and sample letter of recommendation from professors you will do good with admissions.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but I gave my GRE yesterday and got 1450 (V: 670 Q:780)

Want to do MS in embedded. As recommended by Infra_dude I applied for these four universities on the spot.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
The University of Texas at Austin
University of California, Santa Barbara
North Carolina State University

Any other recommendations ?

MY GPA Is 3.125
I calculated for each year using forumula (4xmy marks divided by university topper's marks) and then averaged the 4 GPAs to get a single consolidated one. Amidoinrite?
