Thanks a loet SEFAGO. Appreciate the advice. I think Penn St. may be slightly better in terms of jobs. But i'm really keen to go to USC.
even if it is very expensive, the way is see it, its an investment. The USC brand name itself does almost half the job. Plus there is an option to get your MS without a thesis, which is want i want to do.
EducationUsc Vs Penn State (ms Petroleum Engineering) by Moviebuf87(op): 8:51am On Apr 12, 2010
Hey guys,

I need some suggestions. I am trying to decide which University to attend. I have shortlisted USC and Penn State for Petroleum Engineering. Although these colleges dont have programs as good as the top ones(UT, Stanford, A&M, Tulsa, Mines), i have decided on these two.

Any thoughts on which is a better program in terms of potential jobs/internships ,etc?

Hey Guys,

I apologize for intruding. I am not Nigerian, am from India actually but i came upon this forum through google. I am also preparing for the GRE, this is my second attempt, the first one was quite dissapointing (V-380, Q-730). That is why i have to concentrate more on the Verbal for the next attempt (hopefully in the 500's).
In my defense i hardly studied for the Verbal albeit i am studying the Vocab, i am not sure hoew to prepare for the reading comprehension. I know people advise to read alot but from my experience, the subject matter is trite and the allotted time per question is unbelievably short.

I am planning on taking the GRE late novemeber. I was wondering if you guys have any tips?

I am applying for MS in Petroleum Engr. (Fall 2010) like you guys, I have BSc in Chem Eng from U.Tulsa (GPA- 3.05/4) . I really want to go to UT Austin or Texas A&M. Th next best schools for P.E are Tulsa, Stanford, LSU, and USC. I wonder how difficult it is to get into Stanford for a P.E program? Also I just want to make sure but the Deadline for international students for MS in Petroleum in UT is January 1st right? and A&M is March 1st?

Thanks for the links for GRE Bible and GRE Big Book, really appreciate it guys.
