Hi,
Im wondering if I am aiming too high for gradschool in aerospace engineering. I am going for a PhD.
Major GPA (mechanical) 3.68 from a fairly well known school
-Have also taken a lot of advanced undergrad classes, and will take two graduate level classes next year.
Member of university's aerospace club
-independent study with club
-we have designed and are currently building our own remote controlled plane
-REU at a top 20 university
-Internship at NASA currently, will probably go back next year (in between senior year and grad school)
-Hope to do another independent study next year
-Two years of tutoring, I won an award as an outstanding tutor
-At least 2 excellent letters, and the other one should be good
-Havent taken GRE. Not worried about the quantitative, a little worried about verbal.
Schools I am applying to:
MIT
Georgia Tech
Michigan
Cornell
Maryland
Princeton
Illinois
Purdue
Penn State
Minnesota (Mechanical Egnr.)
Obviously no can really predict whether or not I will get in, but do you think I will at least be competitive?
