Increasing my acceptance chances

[QUOTE="Choppy, post: 6284622, member: 127425"] For what it's worth there is a difference between increasing the probability of admission into a graduate program and increasing your ability to do well once you're in. It's not that the two aren't correlated, but self-study of prior undergraduate work or reading up on graduate coursework are in and of themselves, unlikely to influence your probability of admission. They will certainly help you once you're in. The problem, in terms of ranking candidates, is that there is no way to objectively use that (self-study) to stratify you against other candidates. I can't speak with too much authority on what engineering master's programs typically look for, but certainly high marks on admissions exams will help you. You might try contacting the programs that you're interested in and seeing what they typically look for in the students they admit. [/QUOTE]
