弱背景申CS PHD，求定位~另有2个问题

本科，211，最差的985学校，EE专业，GPA 82，major 84
硕士，新加坡NTU，CS，刚来，不过马上就考试了，12月能出成绩，跟小米说下快递应该还能寄，这几次quiz都是满分，GPA A-以上肯定没问题，但是这边给分水，也没什么优势
T：95（口语18）很早考的，快过期了，不过我问的绝大多数学校还是accept
G：490+800，前几天重考的，AW过几天出来，但是AW是裸考，估计也就3.5吧
没有研究经历和paper，只有一个group software develop的大project，做的是ontology，还有就是写作业有看paper写总结，当然没什么用了
知道自己背景弱，所以不求排名，只要钱。帮我定个位吧，小女子感激不尽~

还有2个问题，请各位大侠回答：
1.我托福考的比较早，分也不高，现在特别是来的新加坡提高不少，重新考特别是口语肯定能高一些，但是好歹也得复习，马上要final，我怕会影响期末，因为重考GRE复习了20天，已经严重影响了专业课。但是重考的话有一些不接受过期成绩的学校就可以了申请了，选校余地大，不过我问的这样的学校倒是少数。现在最大的问题是我原先的托福成绩会不会是硬伤？是重考个高点的，还是全力以赴保住我这个GPA并把更多精力花在申请上？
2.EE的network方向和CS的network方向有什么区别呢？

1.建议重考T，既然你已经在Singapore呆一段时间并且感觉口语有提高了，那应该不用花太多时间复习也能考得比上次好。18的口语会拖累你很大的，特别是申全奖PhD
2.没太大区别……CS可能更偏理论一些，比如研究一下数据包怎么传送算法效率高啊，EE就搞一些wireless，信号啊，blah blah

NTU还是不错的，定位放在前100应该可以~

谢谢啦！好纠结啊，马上就final。。。

2# 剑痴
如果在PS里写上现在英语比考托福时候强管用吗？貌似真是没什么时间考了

4# sudiyuna

你要是真来不及了就这样吧，PS里也别提，容易越抹越黑……
直接跟教授电话陶瓷去，以显示你英文交流没有问题~

5# 剑痴
Thank you!刚才查了查新加坡也没托福考位了，看来是考不了了~~~
我本科不是CS的，申请会不会有影响呢？

EE/CS本一家，你又是Network. I dont see any problem at all.

7# 剑痴

你有Usnews,2010年ECE的专业排名吗？你是否也考了10月GRE，估计最快什么时候可以查分？
