Hello,
I'm pursuing my Electrical and Electronics engineering from MIT Manipal. My profile is as follows:
GRE: 322 (q: 167 + v: 155)
TOEFL: NA (August end). Expecting 100+
Internships
1. Summer Intern at Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, May 2017 – July 2017 - Developed the mobile version of the company’s internal travel portal using MaterializeCSS, Bootstrap. Developed an Android App PoC to fetch data dynamically from a database, without having to relaunch the Android activity
2. Summer Intern at NWDCo Software Solutions, June 2016 - July 2016 - Built an Android Application along with a backend web-based dashboard and Chrome extension that enables hotels to automatically capture data (using an OCR library) from guest’s machine readable passport and visa, and automatically submit it to Govt. of India’s portal for registering details. The entire system is live, and the app and Chrome extension are available on the Play Store and the Chrome Store. The Chrome Extension is used for automatically filling up the government portal’s form using the data captured by the app.
Projects
1. Developed Java application to automate mailers of Udaan Welfare Foundation, June 2015 - Built Java application using Apache POI and Javamail API that saved nearly 1 week of manual efforts of the Trustees. Application gets student performance data from an Excel sheet, finds the donor linked with the particular student (from another sheet), and automatically sends a formatted email to the donor with the marks tabulated neatly, to keep donors informed of the student’s progress
2. Localized wikiHow into Hindi, 2012-2015 - Learnt about MediaWiki framework, served as project manager of Hindi wikiHow during its initial stages (2012). Continued support to this platform until a full-time project manager was hired by wikiHow in 2014.
3. Developed an app at Microsoft Hackathon held at Manipal Institute of Technology, Oct 2015 - Prototype of the application connects hospitals, blood banks, and potential blood donors, using Microsoft Azure as the Cloud service
MOOCs
1. Programming Mobile Applications for Android Handheld Systems: Part 1 - Online course offered by University of Maryland, College Park & Vanderbilt University in association with Coursera
2. Programming Mobile Applications for Android Handheld Systems: Part 2 - Online course offered by University of Maryland, College Park & Vanderbilt University in association with Coursera
Other tech courses
1. C programming by Raj Software Technology, Visual Basic 6 by Raj Software Technology, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 by Raj Software Technology
Extra Curricular Activities
1. Lead a team of ~40 persons as Head of Sponsorship Category of TechTatva 2016 and a team of ~30 persons as Head of Sponsorship Category of Revels 2017 – MIT Manipal’s annual festivals
2. Took on responsibilities for industrial collaborations, logistics, public relations and fund-raising as a Management Team Member, SolarMobil Manipal – Manipal University’s Official Solar Car Project, (April, 2016 – August, 2016)
3. Ranked 2nd at the business event, \"The Apprentice\", at Revels 2015 - Manipal Institute of Technology’s (MIT) National Level Cultural & Sports Festival, March 2015
Miscellaneous
Although my undergrad degree is in Electrical and Electronics, I\'ve taken multiple Computer Science electives as part of my undergraduate curriculum. Here are the electives I've taken: Essentials of IT, Computer Networks, Data Structures & Algorithms, Database Management System. I have an A or A+ grade (one of the class toppers) in all these electives. As a part of this semester\'s (7th semester) curriculum, I have opted for Real Time Systems and Soft Computing as my electives.
Also, I haven't decided on a specific specialization yet.
----------------------------
Since my application will be that of a branch change, I have initially sent my scores to 4 safe/ mod universities (all for CS):
1. NYU Poly
2. IIT Chicago
3. ASU
4. UTD
Could somebody please evaluate my profile for the above 4 universities to which I've already sent scores?
Additionally, I'm considering applying to 6-8 more mod/ ambi universities. I've shortlisted the following after some research and going through UniSuggest (I'll finally trim this list down to 6-8). It'd be great if somebody can evaluate my profile for the following universities too:
1. Purdue University
2. Georgia Tech
3. UPenn
4. USC
5. JHU
6. UM - Amherst
7. Penn State
8. OSU
9. UC Irvine/ Davis (which one would be relatively safer? Or are both ambi?)
10. UC Santa Barbara/ Riverside (is it worth applying to Riverside?)
11. SUNY - Stony Brook
12. TAMU - College Station
13. University of Virginia/ Virgina Tech (which one would be relatively safer? And are both comparable or is one significantly better?)
14. NCSU
If there are any other universities you'd like to suggest, that'd be great. Also, thoughts on the overall list (the 4 I've already sent scores to + the other ones)?
Thanks for your help!
