Hello,
I am applying for MS in CS for fall 2017. I completed my undergraduate course in Computer Engineering in 2014 from Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT) - University of Pune. I am currently working in a product based Adtech startup since 2014 i.e. I will be having 3 years of experience by the time of fall semester.

Test scores :-
• GRE - 309 (159 Q, 150 V, 4 AWA)
• TOEFL - 95 (22 R, 26 L, 20 S, 27 W)

Undergraduate details : -
• Undergraduate aggregate/GPA - 65%/3.3725
• Junior year GPA - 3.43
• Senior year GPA - 3.68

Projects :-
• Final year project in efficient data sync with deduplication using Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) and Amazon S3.
• Few side projects include automatic subtitle downloader for VLC and FUSE for songs featured on tunefind.com.
• Work projects include Android app, real time event processing using Apache Storm and Kafka.


Experience :-
• 2.5 experience in product based AdTech startup (refer infobank for key areas).

Shortlisted universities:-
• Arizona state University
• North Carolina state university
• University of Maryland Baltimore county
• University of Florida
• San Jose State University
• Northeastern University
• University of Texas at Dallas

I had a question regarding GPA evaluation :

As you can see that my GPA is highly unimpressive. It went down the drain because of my first year courses (which were non CS). Later on, I managed to improve my GPA, getting 3.68 in final year.
Any idea about its impact on my profile? What does adcom see while considering a GPA? Do they consider overall undergraduate aggregate or do they emphasize more on junior/senior GPA?

I would appreciate your feedback on my profile.Your feedback would help me shortlist better universities and increase my chances of getting into some.

Thank you in advance.
