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

Hi Akshay,

Thank you for the reply. Can someone from the group comment on the university selection. I interested about classifying these selected universities in Very ambitious, ambitious, moderate and safe according to my profile. So that I could come with the final list with proper mixture of ambi, moderate and safe.

Regards,
Prashant
