<p>I dont know a thing about grad school admissions but 8 research papers!!!, u are fu***ng deserving.</p>
<p>What is cfd?</p>
<p>Graduate admissions are based on 1) your GPA 2) your GRE 3) your recommendations
Not sure what your CPA translates to but it used to be like (first class ) is the minimum needed.</p>
<p>Berkeley and Stanford are both reach schools. They take a lot of the IIT folks…you need to have some match and target lists. There are PLENTY of good research schools here that will give you financial aid (TA/RA positions). Some that come to mind - Rice, RPI, UIUC, other UCs, Rutgers, Virgina, CMU, Maryland, UNC…look up any big names.</p>
