Dear Qasim,<br />
<br />
I know what are you looking for and let me tell you the truth which is bitter. You will have to rely on yourself only to achieve what you want. Netwrok of Pakistani's students in USA is very weak because we are out numbered by Indians in this country and whoever is in a significant position , is barely making it!!<br />
<br />
Number two reason is we are subdivided based on several non-conclusive platforms that we live in our personal prejudices and do not help,even though we can help.<br />
<br />
Sorry…

Secondly Mr.Sohail had some valuable certifications from microsoft that he had mentioned in his SOP... but 4 electrical engineers there are not such certification ...or are there any ? what kinda certifications might help us ???

Many US universities do ask for recommendations but these recommendations are usually from the professors you have been a student of or worked with. It's highly unusual for professors you haven't worked with to write recommendations for you.

<br />
What was ma approach?<br />
-> Rock solid documents for admission <b>[NED scores(avg.), 800/800 in GRE maths, best Software Engineer certs, Teaching experience, rock solid recommendation letters [3 from NED and 3 from my employers], a nice SOP and resume (I have uploaded my SOP), technology certs like MCSD, MCAD, SCJP</b><br />
<br />
-> Now, if you have to decide my case, would you care if I contacted you before? NO, it depends on your profile and whats on your resume [work on that]<br />

<br />
and yeah you can contact Professor but am not sure if they have time to entertain you [you aint a student]....If thats a good school, profs are generally busy [college stuff, research etc.].......You think prof would recommend you, just after couple of emails....i seriously doubt dat<br />
<br />
so ma advice based on my experience [remember got 6 admits from some of the best schools in de US].....work on your documentation, scores [GRE, recommendations, resume, SOP]<br />
<br />
