      Hi sir,
      I have finished my BE (ECE) with 7.8 cgpa,2013 passout
      GRE - 287 (verbal - 140, quans - 147)
      10th - 86%
      12th - 83%
      yet to receive my TOEFL score. I did a paper presentation in national level conference.
      I am interested to do ms in embedded systems...whether i will be eligible to get universities ? is the embedded system subject too hard ? i am an average student of scoring 78% in India,but in USA all are telling 3.9/4 is the grade we have to score to get jobs, is that true ? But i will put in all my efforts to get good score if I am not able to score. if the grade is below that will there be job opportunity and value for the degree. I am scared about it.
      pls give me ur suggestions.

      Thanks in advance.
