Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum!
I have been thinking about applying for a Msc (I am also thinking about a PhD) in the US for one year now, but I am a lost due to the enormous variety of programs available, so I though I would ask the help of the experts, you! I hope I do not break any rules by asking a common question. I only post this enquiry because I failed to find a similar one.
Here is my CV: I am an electrical and computer engineering graduate from Greece (five year program of studies), specialized in electrical power systems. I have one internship in project management (assistant project manager in a major renewables construction firm, 2megawatts PV park), 2 internships in web design and web services and one internship as a AutoCAD designer. I volunteer at a organic foods NGO. My diploma thesis (dissertation) lasted 3 years and dwells on stochastic optimal control, simulation and mathematical modelling. I am fluent in C, Python, VBA and MatLAB. My GPA is around 3.3 (upper second honours, 7.3/10 I am not sure of the conversion) which is very decent at my institution (roughly upper 20%) but I understand that it is below average for in the US. I have yet to take a GRE or GMAT.
I currently work at an engineering firm as a research engineer. My employer cooperates with the European Space Agency, but I don't work on the aerospace side of things. We are looking into the application of satellite hardware for smart grid applications. I evaluate those applications and report to the owner of the company directly. I really love my job!
I am thinking about applying to Big Data and Machine learning or industrial/financial engineering programs.
Some universities I really like are: Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Cornell, Berkley, NYU.
Could you please tell me some institutions that you think I would stand a chance to get admitted at? I hope I didn't forget ot mention anything important.
PS, I deeply and genuinely love sciences and engineering, I am not applying for career prospects alone.
