Re: (GRE Success! ) guys..help need! pls comment on final list of univs!

Hi,

Well if you are applying to the Dept of Computer
Science at GATECH you need to take the AGRE...
re-check that.

For the Electrical Engineering dept (like DSP and
stuff) you don't need the AGRE coz there aint no AGRE
for EE.

there is a course on Information Security MS at Gatech
that does not require the AGRE.

But for MS/PhD in CS, YOU MUST SUBMIT AGRE SCORES.

"I had mentioned it in my first mail.."

May be you did, but most of us here check mails at
random.... we might have missed your earlier mails/not
remember your profile.
So it is good to give a complete profile of yours in
each mail.

as of specialisation in Sensor/Wireless Networks
etc... iam sorry i donot know pretty much about univs
that are good in that area.

Hope it helps.

Regards 
vatsan.
