Thanks for the reply, I have read this article before and it is an informative article for those who are looking for guidance on what to put on their application form. The purpose of my question was to get individuals to give their opinions about my chances of success from an academic perspective. I am keen to find out whether I meet MIT’s academic requirements [not the minimum requirement] for admission into their PhD CS program. I am aware there are other factors that go into the decision making process…

Finally, I am also considering CMU (second choice) for their PhD program and unlike MIT, CMU insists on submission of GRE Test. As you may already know, taking the GRE test in the UK for graduate admission is very rare (in most cases decisions are made based on the undergraduate performance), as result I am not familiar with such tests, hence I will need to invest some time on revision. Can I take the test say on the beginning of November and expect the university to get these results before selection gets under way for the September 2009 entry? My concern is with the delay in Test Centres sending the results to the Universities.

Thanks
