Hi,
SJSU requires a compulsory GRE and the number of applicants for SJSU for MS CS or MS software engineering(SE) is too high. Unless you have a work experience of 5+ years, you cant get GRE waived off at SJSU. The average profile of admits at SJSU MS SE:
Masters
GRE
314

TOEFL
100

IELTS
8
SJSU MS CS is tougher to get in than MS SE.

For UTArlington - The minimum GRE score is 305.

So, I wouldn't recommend applying at both these universities with a score of GRE 293.

I would recommend going through the yocket admitted student profiles before shortlisting universities. You can shortlist universities using the college finder feature on yocket. The good thing about this is that it will consider your profile as a factor while suggesting to you some universities.
