非211&985学校自动化专业。想申请EE。绩点2.9/4.0，托福91，今年6月就毕业了。GRE12月考，很迷茫，不知道要找中介，还是自己申请，本来打算工作的，后来觉得社会不是我想象的那样，我还是想读书，但是这个成绩我知道真的很差。。。
唉，大概能申请什么排名的master？自己申请复杂么？GRE成绩12月考来的及吗

EE专业

请恕我直言。
这背景稍微差了点。
EE竞争非常激烈，仅次于CS。
我有个高中同学是美本高GPA，结果申请被拒的七七八八的。
当然他申请的都是top级别的学校。
个人觉得你可以考个研提升下背景，然后再申请。
如果不想的话，可以把GT考高点，申请排名低的自费MS。
有一些名校滥发MS的AD，但是学费贵的离谱，如果有钱也可以考虑。

LZ为什么不考虑考虑考研呢？风险相对小一些

GPA是硬伤。如果不能改变，建议用努力来弥补。
我在Quora看到过很励志的文章，送给你。
If I contact a professor for research/graduate school and he asks for my resume/transcript, what should I do if my transcript is embarrassing?

You're going to have to work harder now. You have to accept that. Those grades will follow you for a while. But Sam Coren is right, improvement over time does help. It helped me.

If you're planning on applying to graduate school, I'd highly recommending taking two years off to work as a researcher in a lab. The pay isn't awesome, but you can live off of it. You'll need those two years of ass-kicking to overcome your grades. You need to prove to a graduate admissions committee that you're capable of finishing your graduate work, and that you're not the same person (academically) as the person who did poorly those first two undergraduate years.

Now here's where the sociability come in. In order to get a job, and get into graduate school, you need letters of recommendation. It helps you if those letters come from people who know and understand you and your situation. For that to happen, you have to be open. I can't emphasize enough how important letters are to a graduate admissions committee. Even "glowing" letters can sound cookie-cutter. Honest letters where the writer sounds like they actually know the person really stand out. Not everywhere, of course. Some universities have some minimum GPA cut-offs or other garbage. But not all. Again, you just have to accept those kinds of things.

Do everything in your power to leave a paper trail of excellence to overcome your grades. Your goal is to make those grades look meaningless. Your goal is to have your work speak for you so strongly that, when people look at your grades, they feel silly for even giving them a second thought.

Are you a social person? If not, try harder. Seriously. Talk to school counselors, professors, post-docs, etc. Everyone you can. Find people you like and respect and ask them to go to lunch or coffee. Explain your situation earnestly. Don't make or give excuses, just explain that life happened and you made the decisions that you did.

Embrace the suck.

+1，我觉得G有点晚了，最好能提前两个月。不过我个人还是建议，你申请15fall，这一年你可以用来提升一下自己的实力，做做科研，GT刷刷分

There are quite a few graduate schools that fit you as long as what you learn from school matches the job market demand, it is quite easy to find a job in US for EE, or you also can learn some computer science courses (like JAVA, Network etc). How about SUNY stony brook ?
