You have a great chance of getting into data science programs. I suggest you to apply for George Washington University data science program. They don't require gre and offer high scholarships. It definitely suites you.

Hi @ChiranjeeviRaju

Devshree Bharatia · Answer

Your quant is good! Your percentage is also really good! Try for more moderate and ambitious...and 2-3 safe! But be sure that all these universities allow the ENTC to CS shift!

Devshree Bharatia · Answer

Justify the shift effectively in your SOP and your inclination towards CS for a good admit! Try to mention the electronics projects from a CS perspective!

@ChiranjeeviRaju thanks @devshreeb. Gave gre again and scored 318(q-164 , v-154) . And IELTS - 7.5., haven’t applied to any colleges for fall 2021 due to personal reasons and will be applying for spring 2022. Can i now consider the ambitious college list as moderate and moderate list as safe ????
