Apply for top 10 Computer Engineering school?

gzzhuUID: 191165

I cannot type Chinese character with this computer, so I have to type them in English.

I attended my undergraduate school (not a very high-ranking one) in U.S, and majored in Computer Engineering. I like to apply top 10 graduate schools. Can anyone share his/her experience of applying those schools? Or any advice?
(My GPA is 4.0/4.0, and my GRE is Q780, V 750).
Any suggestion or advice is welcome!
Thank you!

As per top 10 colleges, it's very important to show your diversity when you're applyin' inside the States. I think you know what top ppl are like in high school and college in the States. It's very common for ppl to attain high GPA and stuff. At this time, diversity becomes important. Things like your capibility other than stuty-wise will help.

One prof told me that and I think it is apropos.

Your GPA and GRE score are excellent. However, those cannot guarantee that you
will get an offer from Top 10 university. Because many applicants already have many
research experiences and also have excellent grades. So maybe you could supply
some information that can demonstrate that you have great potential to success
in the graduate study, for example, awards from the competitions,etc.

可以打中文了!
谢谢大家的恢复!
楼上讲的OFFER 是指ADMISSION　还是奖／助学金？
请问一般地说大家在本科都有RESEARCH吗?

Few people have research experience when they study undergraduate.
However, few people will be accepted into the programs in the top 10 Graduate School.
So, I think you could try but I don't know what you could get...

If I were you, when I am trying the top10, I will also keep an eye on the other Univs...

我说的offer是指全奖呀。TOP10的全奖可是很难的，他们有的是看申请人是否已经有过很强的研究背景，有的是看是否有潜力，反正运气也占很大的比例。像MIT的EECS连GRE成绩都不要的。
