GRE

• Here is a collection of arguments from the GRE power prep which is now out-of-date due to the recently changed GRE general test, especially in the analytical section. However, it is strongly recommended to solve these arguments in advance since almost all the questions open to public on the web are very similar to this collection and you should know how to approach in attacking the arguments in order to get a high score in the analytical writing. The collection doesn't provide how to attack arguments. It's up to you; i.e. you should figure out how to. Good luck!!!

TOEFL

• Here is a collection of old-format TOEFL sample questions. Honestly speaking, he has no idea about the newly introduced TOEFL Internet-based test (IBT) because he took paper-based (PBT) and computer-based test (CBT) only, but he hopes this material may help ones who want to try some TOEFL questions. Of course, it is highly urged to visit ETS home page. He'll cross fingers for you!!!

Ubuntu

• Here are files that were used for Jong's Ubuntu Customization.

College Rank

Are you looking for a research school in the United States?

• Here is a brief summary of "The Rise of American Research Universities" by Nancy Diamond and Hugh Davis Graham (in progress of revision).
• Here is a Carnegie Foundation's classification on research schools in the States and a link to American Top research schools (in progress of revision).
• Here is the NSF partial report on Total R&D expenditures at universities and colleges, ranked by the fiscal year 2002 total R&D expenditures [fiscal year 1995 - 2002].
  • Here is the latest report.
• Here is the NSF complete report on Total R&D expenditures at universities and colleges, ranked by the fiscal year 2002 total R&D expenditures [fiscal year 1995 - 2002].
  • Here is the latest report.
• Here are the top 20 graduate engineering programs by the Princeton Review.

Computer Science Rank

Are you considering a graduate program of computer science in U.S.A.?

• Here is a site which ranks a PhD program of computer science in U.S.A., from a N.R.C.'s study (1993). It is highly recommended to use this reference, when selecting your school, since the study was based on real academic performance, even though selecting your school may vary, depending on some factors such as faculty quality, research area, financial aids, and etc.
• Here is a site which ranks Top 40 graduate schools in U.S.A. This rank is originated from 'The Gourman Report: 5th Ed. (1998)'. It's not too bad even though Dr. Gourman has a bias towards schools in middle regions of U.S.A.
• Here is the lisf of Top graduate schools of computer science in U.S.A., from 'US News (2002)'. It is highly urged to not use this stupid evaluation since US News mostly relies on an aspect of business, instead of academic research. Due to this fault, this rank misleads many students and parents (in progress of revision).
  • Here is the latest 2007 rank
• Here is the report of Total and federally finaced R&D expenditures in the computer sciences at universities and colleges, ranked by fiscal year 2002 total R&D expenditures in the computer sciences [fiscal years 1999 - 2002].
  • Here is the latest report.
