anyone taking ADTP in inti ?

my answer was actually based on the undergraduate program at my alma mater.

BUT

iceypain here is correct. Most people who intend to enter graduate school in the USA maintain a 3.5 or higher - most of my friends who had such intentions maintained a 3.7 and higher, some even 4.0. So yes, I stand by what I said, you will have difficulty.

hi spunkberry, any opinions on chances of working in states after graduating? from your experience.
with the current recession should i still keep up hope?
what can we do to boost our chances?

thanks!

Generally it's very low. I don't think the recession has that big of an impact on the the employment of foreigners because the employers of foreigners are normally very big companies and there is an annual cap on the number of work visas that will be given out by the government. So really, the limit is being placed by the visa cap even with the bad economy (which isn't very bad anyway)

as much as mumeichan is correct that the rate of employment is low ... it is not limited by the H1B visa cap. with American unemployment at an all time high, it is seen as unpatriotic for companies to hire foreigners over their own citizens. no it's not just America that does this, any country does this, even Malaysia (rampantly).

my F-1 foreign visa status was the brick wall to my employment opportunities, not my qualifications nor the H1B visa cap. even at job fairs, some companies just paste up a sign that says US CITIZENS/PRs ONLY. Defense contractors are also out of the question because those are US citizen only positions - foreigners are spies, basically.

get internships, make sure you actually learn something in your classes and on your internships and stand out above the rest. your GPA is definitely the first step - when companies go through the stack, they remove anything under 3.0 for engineering, higher for others. making connections definitely helps, but don't expect them to basically open the door to you .. they can only expedite the process.
