Sumansuman, I contacted Purdue, and this is what they said..

“There is little to no funding available in spring.  Only in the form of a possible RA if a professor is looking to support someone.  No fellowships or TA's.”

I contacted few professors but they didn’t reply, so don’t know what to do. If you can help in anyway, I will really appreciate it.

Keystone,

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC)
does have spring intake option for graduate students. In case of you haven't written to any prof there, I would highly recommend you to do so. With your GPA, you should be able to make it through. Best of luck for GRE and grad school application.

Keystone,

I highly recommend you to write to the profs directly than writing to graduate admission office. It's the prof. who makes the final call. Rather than my familiarity to the profs, your correspondance to them matters more (I do know a few profs in the dept but I have no idea if they work in your area of interest). Be nice and impressive in your correspondance. Plz feel free to shoot me an email here in sajha if you want any more details. Good luck again !!

keystone, at OkState, write to prof samadjadeh (OS etc ko prof). has the looks of current iranian president. but kool. email samad 'at' cs.okstate.edu

geda_gudi, thanks but not interested in MBA at least for now

axara, that prof seems to be from compter science dept, but I am looking for electrical or computer or software engineering

Thanks hyperthread for your suggestion. That's one of the last options I am considering. If possible I don't want to waste a semester. 

Keystone,

If you are thinking of Purdue, chances are very slim to get a TA'ship for spring. To look for RA, try emailing the professors first (chances are most wont reply back, I had to go through that) and make sure to attach a tailored resume. The profs evaluate you more on your qualifications and skills. Which area are you interested in? Let me know.

sorry for late response, was out of town.

once you get admission, you may get assistantship to another department. One of my friend has just left and his boss is asking him to recommend someone to work over there. GRE not required for MS in computer science.

shoot me an email to xtrazeny@hotmail.com

utosucks, that’s what I figured out too. Some of my interest area include -- computer networking, computer architecture, wireless communication, wireless/mobile networking, wireless sensor networks, embedded software etc. I am open to anything digital or software or wireless.

sunyataa, I will do that. Do you go there too?

1A2B3C, which department that assistantship is? I am planning to go for MSEE there. Do you know typically what kinda GRE score is required there? Appreciate your help.

If you guys go to one of the good graduate schools for Electrical or Computer or Software Engineering and can help me to get graduate (MS) admission and assistantship there, I will highly appreciate it.

I did my BS from USA and have very good GPA (3.95+). I can get strong recommendation from my professors and managers. I hadn’t have much time to prepare for GRE yet, anyway I am planning to take it around mid-august.

Software Engineering has nothing to do with Engineering School

Software Engineering falls under Computing Science....

F22, I don’t know why exactly they are reluctant to enroll in e-verify program. They are saying they are assessing the feasibility of e-verify with their legal counsel. Most likely they won’t be enrolling in it, as the general practice in this company is, if you are not selected for H-1B they send you in one of their overseas facility (still in US payroll and benefits) for 12 months and after that they bring you back to the US in L-1 visa.

sunyataa, I don’t have too much interest in circuit design, especially I don’t like analog.

Thank you all for your information and suggestion. Hope to hear more.
