AI Thread Summary
A senior Electrical Engineering student from Wright State University is seeking advice on pursuing a master's degree in power systems and power generation, as this specialization is not offered at their current institution. The student has a cumulative GPA of 3.01 overall, with a 3.43 at Wright State and a 3.57 in Electrical Engineering. They are considering the University of Kentucky for its strong power program, believing they have a better chance of acceptance there compared to Ohio State. The student plans to take the GRE soon, aiming to exceed the required score of 1100 to improve their application prospects. They are looking for feedback on whether their academic performance is sufficient for admission to UK.

Hello all,

I'm a senior Electrical Engineering student at Wright State University in OH and I'll be graduating in March 2011 with my BSEE degree.

I've come to the conclusion that my main area of passion and interest is in power systems and power generation so I'd like to do a masters degree focusing on that, which they don't really have at Wright State - so I'll need to go elsewhere.

My stats:

3.01 for all undergrad (I had some poor study habits at a prior Univ.)
3.43 Wright State
3.57 Electrical Engineering

I've been doing some research on grad schools an the school I think might be my best fit is the University of Kentucky. They have a wonderful power program and I think I might have a more realistic shot of getting into UK than Ohio State, which I was originally thinking of pursuing.

My main question is: Are my stats good enough to get into a school like UK? I plan to take the GRE soon and I'm hoping that doing well on that will boost my chances as well. UK only requires an 1100 GRE so I'm hoping to surpass that by quite a bit. Not a guarantee of course, but I certainly hope I can.

Do I have a chance?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
