Hello Seniors,
Can someone help me in shortlisting universities for MS in "Material Science"?
(Weakness 1) Complexity in my case: B. Tech is in "Textile Technology". However, all my projects are interdisciplinary: conductive fabric, pressure sensor fabric, impact resistance composites and wearable electronics based products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) UG school: National Institute of Technology, (Punjab) India
2) UG GPA: 7.6/10 (top 12%, topper's 8.5)----------weakness-2
3) GRE:326 (v=159, q=167)
Toefl= 102 (Speaking 26, writing 25)
4) # Yrs full-time work experience: 1 year (by now)
5) Job: Wearable electronics based startup company, Junior Product Engineer in "R&D department"
6) Internships:
5 months post b. tech in IIT Delhi,
2 months in germany,
one-week long 2 industrial internships
7) Projects:
- Menstrual pain relief waistbelt (BT 4.0 & TENS based- built, Project leader Job)
- Flexible heat spreader (Peltier device based cooling wristband, Project Leader, Job)
- Piezoelectric textile (UG)
- [u]Textile capacitor (UG)
- Impact resistance composites (IIT D)
- Conductive fabrics (UG)[/u]
Publications: 1 poster presentation in a conference in Germany
8) Extra-curricular:
- Organized 'self defense workshops' in schools,
- Pollster in the capital (Jan LokPal/ Citizens' Ombudsmen Bill),
- Project leader at work & college, and
- Organized and won many dance competitions
9) Post-MS/MBA goals: Develop wearable electronics/ smart products embedded in garments
10) Target schools:
MIT, UIUC, Cornell, UCB (don't know if I should), GATech, Michigan Ann Arbor, UCLA,
NCSU, TAMU, ASU, PennState
Please suggest me some more or eliminate some.
