Question

I have a low gre score of 308(quant-160, verbal-148),AWA-4, CGPA -9(BTech in Information Technology). I have been doing an internship with IIT Delhi and TU Dresden, Germany since January, 2019. I have developed a software in flask,(python) the project basically has tools for preassessment of groundwater contamination(data visualisation and analytics), the project will also go live this month on the university servers. I have LORs from the respective colleges and one from my own college, Manipal University(Jaipur). I have also done an internship in Samsung for a month or so. I wish to pursue a degree in Master of Data Science in the USA, however, I am not able to find good colleges with low GRE cut offs. Please let me know if there are any suggestions for universities that I can apply to or any other advice as to how I should proceed. Thanks a lot.

@vedaantib Try for IUB, University of Virginia, UCONN, UIC and UMBC.  All these are good university for your subject.

Your SOP and LOR would turn things around for you. They will be a game changer. Don't worry. Just focus on the motivation letter and take it very seriously. You'll land up in very decent unis

Thank you for replying.
Wouldn't my GRE scores be an obstacle for getting admits in these colleges?

Vedaanti B · Answer

@vedaantib Oh okay, thank you so much.
Apart from USA, can I apply to Canada also? Universities like Waterloo and British Columbia are very ambitious, but is it possible to get an admit there? And does University of Waterloo require a gre score?(Masters in Data Science) I tried searching on the website, but they did not mention, however on sites like Quora, it says that Waterloo requires a high gre score

Vedaanti B · Answer

Yes, I mean MSDAI, but that is the thing, I am worried that I might not get admission due to my GRE score. I was thinking of taking it again, after taking up magoosh. But I don't have much time left, hence I thought of taking some advice. I will look up the colleges that you have mentioned. Thank s a lot. And let me know if you have any other advice for me.
