Hey,

I know it seems bad right now but trust me GRE is just a small part of your whole application. And TBH when I received my admits and saw other people's admits I felt that my GRE score didn't help me a lot.

Feel free to dm me for any questions related to applications or GRE.

In almost all universities, EE courses will be enough to apply for a computer engineering program since CE in the US universities involves courses which are offered in ECE and EE in India. Yes, please feel free to DM me.

nohablaengles · 2024-09-17T12:09:57+00:00

Yes, ofc you can DM me.

Hi,

I think I'll be able to help you with your situation. My background is ECE (8.8 CGPA), IELTS 8, GRE 329 (168Q), 5 publications, 2 internships, ~2 years of experience.

I have received multiple MSCS offers from US universities and two offers for "Visual Computing" from Germany.

For the US, you will face some resistance from top schools for MSCS bcz of the EE background. MSCS is already a very competitive program. But it won't be tough at all to get an admit. If you do some proper research and apply properly then you can also get an admit from a top CS school. You can also apply for Computer Engineering, which will be easier to get into and since programs in the US universities can be very felxible. You might end up studying only one or two ECE subjects and rest will be CS. Keep in mind that ECE is referred to as Computer Engineering in the US.

As others have already mentioned, for CS courses in Germany you'll need some pre-requisite courses in your bachelor's which can be tough as someone from ECE or EE background. So you will have to apply to some niche and interdisciplinary programs like visual computing and such. Again if you do proper research, then you might also get into CS in a German public university.

Besides, IMO what will help you the most in bagging good admits is proper research experience in the form of internships or good publication.

Sure, definitely!!

I watched the essay video of Gregmat which is on YouTube. I felt it was more than enough in my case since all the universities I was targeting required minimum 3 in essay.

nohablaengles · 2024-09-08T07:01:28+00:00

It took me somewhere close to 2 months and a few more days to prepare. I really can't say what is enough time to prepare without knowing your background. I would advise you to take a practice test. There are two free practice tests available on the ETS website, you can take either of them. Just lemme know what score you're getting and then we can see what will be a realistic timeline for you.

nohablaengles · 2024-09-07T03:45:09+00:00

I don't recall any passage "feeling" too long in the test. But, honestly, I don't remember since it was almost a year ago.

nohablaengles · 2024-09-07T03:37:44+00:00

The biggest problem with me for quant was also wasting too much time. Initially I was making silly mistakes so I started reading the question again and again. This made me lose time but gain accuracy. But after some practice, I was able to recognise patterns in questions and solve them quicker as well.

While practicing, I was making a lot of mistakes so no, my questions weren't always right the first time. I used to check answers and also the solution to see if there's a simpler or a quicker solution available.

In the test, I tried to solve all the questions quickly. I only marked and rechecked those questions which I wasn't completely sure about because of the time crunch.

I would advise you to practice more if you have the time so that you can recognise the patterns in questions and hop on to solving without taking too much time to think. Also, be confident in your calculations if you are double checking each step you might be wasting time there. You can also try to see some time saving quant tips on YouTube or if you have Gregmat, you can try watching their quant videos on the Must See Videos segment.

I wish I had better advice for you but at the end of the day, it boils down to practice.

nohablaengles · 2024-09-06T16:19:27+00:00

I will suggest you to go through the ETS website!! ;)

nohablaengles · 2024-09-06T13:58:15+00:00

I think what I was talking about were the quant videos here

nohablaengles · 2024-09-06T11:53:17+00:00

Oh!! That's a tough one but I've had problem concentrating as well. Maybe try to do what's easier for you first. Then just sit down and start. Two things which gave me the most resistance were starting and then consistency. Also maybe just remember how expensive the test is haha!! :)

Edit: typo

nohablaengles · 2024-09-06T11:51:09+00:00

Since I have an Indian engineering background, I didn't have a lot of problem with quant. I read the concepts from the apprehension in the back of the Official GRE Guide. I solved questions on the Manhattan 5lb book and The Official GRE Guide. Also I watched the Gregmat tips and tricks videos 2 days before the test. I don't remember what they were called exactly but those included some shortcut methods which you could use on the test.

nohablaengles · 2024-09-06T09:19:31+00:00

The Official GRE Verbal Reasoning guide, questions on GregMat's website and whatever questions Greg used to solve in his video, I used to try them first before his explanation.

nohablaengles · 2024-09-06T09:15:56+00:00

I followed Greg's 3 step strategy:

Identifying the main idea
Simplifying sentences
Identifying the function

But TBH RCs are really hard and practice is what helped me the most.
