Thanks for your reply. I have done B.E. in Computer Science. The main thing was, does the work exp count in negating the bad GPA.

Hi All,

I am Harsh from India. I have 4 years plus experience in Software Industry and have been working with Fortune 10 R&D company. I have a CGPA 2.9 (Low but constantly rising - 2.35,2.35,2.14,2.52,3.0,3.6,3.64,4.0) in Comp SC. Not published any papers, but done some good innovative work while working. I am thinking of pursuing a PhD in Software Engineering - Code Automation. I am thinking of applying by the end of 2011. This gives me an year to prepare.

I would like to know if someone had similar profile and got selected into which USA universities. Also any suggestions from others are welcome as well. Also, is there something i can do in this 1 year's time to boost up my chances.

Thanks
Harsh

Hello all,
My name is Harsh and i am a senior software engineer working for one of the largest R&D companies in India. I have done my Bachelors in Computer Science and have been working for 4 years now. Mostly i have worked with JAVA, J2EE, Eclipse etc.

I have decided to prepare and apply for a PhD by 2011 end. I want to prepare thoroughly for my research topic. I want to do a research in a PRACTICAL ORIENTED topic than theoretical in Computer Science.

I have an inclination towards Software Engineering (Let me know if it is practical oriented) , but other topics suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks
Harsh
