Re: (GRE Success! ) Profile Evaluation for MS CS

Hi Prashant,

I do not have much idea about CS branch at these universities, though most
of them look fine to me. Regarding the right time, I tried to finish with
my applications by December end, though I was not able to do that. Somebody
told me that sooner you apply, the better are the chances.

 Sincerely,
 Akshay Jain,
 Graduate Student,
 Vision Guided and Intelligent Robotics Lab,
 Dept. of Electrical And Computer Engineering,
 University of Missouri, Columbia
