Suresh Natarajan · Answer

All 3 Canadian univs are Ambitious.

TAMU, NCSU, UCSD, GaTech, UMass Ambi

ASU mod, SJSU safe

Suresh Natarajan · Answer

Your class rank will be mentioned in the LOR and that way your GPA will be considered.

Suresh Natarajan · Answer

I can only categorise, University shortlisting depends on various other factors. Sorry.

nikhil kashyap · Answer

I agree with Suresh. 3 Canadian universities are ambi because of your undergrad percentage, they expect very high cgpa.

You have a chance at the rest. My senior last year got into NCSU with 325 score and my other senior got into Gatech with 318. I would say you have a chance at these universities if you could cover up your gpa with extracurriculars and LoRs.

Forgot to mention, I'm aiming for Ms in Computer Science

Shrijeet Joshi · Answer

Do research papers count? I have 1 in  an International but not high reputed journal. 
I have 66% but I was among top 10% of my class. My university doesn't give marks easily.

Shrijeet Joshi · Answer

Yes that sounds good. Any universities you would like to recommend @suresh ? #asksuresh

Shrijeet Joshi · Answer
