I Got Admits; Where to Attend – Part 1

In last 2 weeks alone, many students have sent email that has same theme to their questions, but different set of parameters.

  • Theme – Which University to Attend
  • Parameters – Universities

Before you read the rest of this article, you must read 12 Step University Selection Process.

I have got admits from SUNY and UFL for pursuing a MS in chemical engineering… You have stated in one of your posts that “Getting Graduate School admission in UF is tough, but I have seen few of my  friends who got admission and decided to attend low profile schools, since tuition fees was expensive. But, if you have college admission from UF go for it.”

Can you tell me why you have stated so.. It will be immensely helpful in choosing between the two.. Its that i have done a lot of research in the background about these two universities..

It’s very easy choice for you. Just go with University of Florida. On any given day Florida will be top choice compared to SUNY, just for the weather and beautiful Sunshine State, Oranges, etc. Ofcourse UF is great school too. You can’t go wrong with that.

I have got an ADMIT from UMASS Amherst for ECE VLSI with tuition waiver award of 40% of my tuition fee. This was the time when I had rejects coming in.. so I accepted the offer. Recently I got an offer from University of Cincinnati with a UGS of 80% of my tuition  fee. Due to my financial conditions I would prefer University of Cincinnati. I heard that one cannot take more than 1 funded I20. Also that tuition waiver award is not considered as a funded admit since it is an award. Is an admit with tuition waiver award a funded admit? What should I do??

80% Funding is real good. Not sure what UGS means, but accept the admission for University of Cincinnati and go for it. Amount of money you need to show in bank balance with 80% fee waiver will be very less. with financial aid, you have increased chances to get F1 Student Visa. [ F1 Visa Interview Tips]

I am a mechanical engineering student and I am planning to pursue my MS in the same field from the Fall 2010 Session. My GRE score is 1280, and till date I
have got acceptance letters from IIT Chicago and Grand valley State university. Can you please guide me which one should I consider for pursuing my masters? I
have applied to 3 other universities and am awaiting their response as well.
These are:
University of Cincinnati
University of Kentucky
Florida State University

I shall be grateful to you if you could guide me because I am in a lot of a dilemma at this final stage of my journey.

you can wait to hear about admission decision from other 3 universities. They are much better than IIT Chicago and you can rule out Grand Valley State, since you already have admit from IIT.

I have got admits from :
Univ of texas Dallas
Illinois insti of technology, chicago
California State Univ, Sacramento..
for doing MS in VLSI..

I would go with UTD. CSU@Sacramenot will be expensive compared to UTD, IIT Chicago.  You may argue about better job opportunities if you study in CSU, but in reality you have same odds of finding a job by studying in CSU or UTD. So, try to select the school where you have to spend less.

  7. I got accepted to UMCP(univ of MD, College Park)- MS in Business: Accounting, GW- MS in accountancy, AU-MS in accounting.

    I’m hearing GW and UMCP program are both ok in this area(DC/MD/VA). Trying to figure out which program will give me better opportunity career wise. Tuition would be similar (actually GW will be 5k cheaper than Maryland because of fellowship award) so that’s not a considering factor.

  13. Hello All,

  14. Hi

    I have got admits from north eastern, rit , syracuse for cs. With rit scholarship of 7196$.

    Not able to decide which univ i should go for?
    Deadline for neu 15 march

    1. Hi Ankit, Congratulations for your admits. You should ideally choose University based on program curriculum. If there isn’t much difference look go for the location as it can help you for summer internship and job placement.

      If tuition fee not a concern, you can choose Northeastern University.

      1. Thanks a lot sir for the reply. But as I can see for both NEU and RIT fees is same. living cost for NEU is much higher than RIT although money is not a concern. But as RIT offers same level of placements as NEU should I prefer RIT over NEU?
        Also have heard about visa rejections about NEU. Yours views on it.

        1. First of all visa rejections are not University specific. Most of the students get their visa rejected for not being able to justify for the choices made and on financial ground. The choice is all yours. Location wise both are good options. RIT is offering you a scholarship as well. Take a decision which you can favor for.
          All the best!

  19. How good is RIT for MS in CS?
    I have a GRE score of 1380 and TOEFL ibt score 101 and applied to around 10 universities for MS in Computer Science with an interest in Computer Vision.May be it was my poor sop or resume I was rejected by almost all of them.PSU rejected it for their University campus and forwarded it to their Harrisburg campus and in turn accepted my application.Meanwhile I was terrified to see so many rejections and got in touch with an consultancy who asked me to apply RIT.So recently I have got an accept from RIT with around 11k scholarship(still I have to pay around 24k tution fees) and started feeling “what to do”. I know I don’t have any alternative for RIT ,given that I only found discouraging feedback about PSU Harrisburg,but less information about how good is RIT for MS in Computer Science is making me anxious.I know RIT is great for undergraduate study but is it so for grad study when their US rank is #88 and my primary focus is to go for a PhD after MS.Should I wait and apply for Spring 2013?

  20. I have got offer from both SUNY buffalo and Indiana university Bloomington. I am an undergraduate student majoring accounting. I do not care about the tuition expense. Please help me make choice. I will appreciate so much. thank you.

  23. Hi,
    My name is Rashmi. I got admit to UTA for MSIS.
    Is UTA is good for MSIS.?
    Is UTD a better option than UTA?
    I am looking only for UTA and UTD.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

      1. I am not seeing any undergrad discussions. I have received I20 from UTA and SUNY Buffalo for Comp Science/ Engineering. UTA fee is 29k and SUNY is 31K.Which is better?

          1. Any specific reason. On the school rating front, I did not see any difference in rankings. Actually SUNY is better off. hence, my confusion. Additionally, spoke with a couple of alumni who also have a fab revert on SUNY’s research and placement situation. Pls help.

          2. By UTA, I mean Univ of Texas at Arlington. Will that make a change in opinion. pls help.

          3. U looking for ug or pg???if ms den depends on your specialization too… if u ask me SUNY buffalo is anyday better dan UTA.. for Networking texas side is the best.
            Why SUNY over UTA??
            1)course can be completed in 1.5 years (which your over all tuition fee would just be 22-24k $)
            2)better placements and reputation
            3)better on campus jobs (In UTA Indians are lot more than UB.a so high competition)
            Drawbacks of SUNY buffalo:
            1)climate
            2) Niagara Falls and Time square is close by (distraction 😛 😛 )

  24. Has anyone done either of the following programs?Any idea of the program value addition,future job prospects etc.?

    UPenn : M.S. Biotechnology
    Tufts : Bioengineering

    I am interested in Bioenterprise/Bioentrepreneurship,more so from the technical angle than the business angle.
    UPenn is Ivy,Tufts is not.
    But,Tufts is in Boston,UPenn is not.

    Any advice to makea decision would truly help.

    Thanks a ton!

    cheers,

  43. I got accepted to many but my main choices are Rutgers, NYU Poly, RIT, Drew, Hartwick, and Penn State. I am being recruited to play basketball at NYU Poly, Drew, and Hartwick. I want to pursue a premed track, academics come first and foremost for me. I am interested in bio, psychology, I did research and came to the conclusion I have a high interest in what psychiatrists do. I really the show the Mentalist, although it is a show, of course, many of those tactics and skills can be applied and used in daily life. So where do I go? I have a high school average of 93 I’m in ap bio and ap calc right now. I should probably pick up my study habits, however a change should be attainable. I need help. I want to be very successful and make reasonable money in a career that I enjoy and look forward to going to work everyday. I also like basketball very much, I would really like to play in college, but, as I said before, the degree and preparation for my life career-wise is number 1 on my list. Any suggestions for me? Please email me at [email protected] because I don’t know how to see what anyone writes back on this blog. I narrowed it down to NYU Poly, Rutgers, RIT, and Penn State I think but I’m so stressed and confused and not sure….

  52. Hi ,

    I got admit for spring 2012 in Ms telecommunication networks in

    NYU-Poly with a tution waver of 8k

    and UMKC …

    could you please advise me which is the better option for me

    1. Well better option would be definitely be NYU since its course is quite good in telecommunications. Not sure if UMKC offers MS in Telecom. Even if it does go for NYU keeping in mind the course structure and job opportunities in Telecom industry.

      Regards

  53. I got admits from Univeristy of Florida, Colorado State Univ, Arizona State University, Michigan Technological University, Auburn University for the spring 2012 session in Civil Engineering. UF has offered me 50 % tuition fee waiver.

    i spoke with a couple of students from UF. They say that the Job Scenario is very bad here and just 1 or 2 companies visit here for international students. Now I’m in confusion in between UF, CSU and ASU.

    I wanted to know whats your opinion on this. How are other prospects at UF as UF is a very reputed university. Whats your view on ASU and CSU.

  54. Hello HSB…I got admits from the following universities for MS Industrial Engg spring2012 intake.Pls help me choose the best university considering jobs and funding
    1)Ohio State University – no aid (I-20 -45,909$ but lot of part time jobs)
    2)Univ of Oklahoma,Norman – no aid(fees – 15000/yr and lot of part time jobs)
    3)Univ of Houston,Main Campus – 1000$/yr scholarship and only instate fees
    4)Rochester Inst of Technology – no aid
    Also two univ in Canada for Meng in Industrial
    1)Concordia-
    2)Dalhousie-In both the univ very diff to get aid if going for Meng as aid is mostly for MS(thesis)

    1. – Don’t take part time jobs for granted. Yes, there’s a chance you could get 1 or 2 jobs and make ends meet. But if your aim is studying, pick a department with greater funding and keep your expenses low while spending that time on studying.

      – I’d say UH in this scenarios wins. The cost makes it competitive. If you do take a loan to pay, how long will it take to clear your debt? How long would OSU take?

      – If you are looking at part time jobs, instead of Assistance, look for a place where the demographics allow a higher percentage of foreigners to be hired. You are NOT a US citizen. If you do work off campus, you won’t get Federal minimum wage in most cases.

      1. I spoke with some students currently pursuing their MS IE in Houston and they told me not to come there and also friends in Univ of Oklahoma advised me to go for Ohio State University.(Eventhough I-20 amt was tuition-30000$ and living – 16000$ the actual tuition fee would come around 45000$ only(for min credits req to complete the MS) and also living expense will be around 500$ /month only).So I am gonna try for assistantship after going there….My final destination is Ohio State University ….(I forgot to mention that I got 20000$ scholarship in RIT)..

  85. My daughter is going to pursue a degree in civil engineering following with a masters in structural engineering. She hopes to have a career in preservation of ancient archaeological structures. She has been accepted to SMU Honors with $90,000 scholarship over four years , University of Texas Cockrell School of Engineering, Texas A & M, Colorado School of Mines, Georgia Tech ( her Father's alum), and University of Florida which is our state residency. Which is her best choice. We have the money for her education so that is not an issue. We want the best choice for her education.

    1. UT and A&M would be your best bets. UH and Rice also have strong programs. I’m an engineer here in TX so I may be a bit partial but I can tell you that there is a good chance of ending up in Houston or So Cal during your job search and the networks for UT and A&M are amazing in Houston…and of course they are ranked higher.

  86. I have received addmits from UTD, UMN twin cities and USC for MS EE Fall 2011. please tell me the pros and cons of the universities and also what would likely be the best choice

    7. IOWA – Admitted , No scholarships for international students
    8. Virginia Tech – Decision awaited

  113. Hello Sir !

    I have admits from the following universities for Bioinformatics:

    1. Carnegie Mellon University (MS in Computational Biology….with $3000 scholarship…….but that's far too less for the overall costs at CMU….expensive course….and I heard that international students are hardly given any RA's or TA's here)

    2. Georgia Tech (no funding….MS in Bioinformatics…..but this is a non-thesis program…..I might pursue a Ph.D in future and a non-thesis program wouldn't really help me, would it ?……again an expensive program)

    3. Indiana University, Bloomington (MS in Bioinformatics….with a scholarship of $1500 and a Teaching Assistantship of $10000 for the first year. Which means, a total financial award of $11,500 for the first year…….I also like the coursework here very much…..but I heard the job scenario at Indiana isn't that good….but the university is affordable)

    4. George Mason University (MS in Bioinformatics……with no funding)

    5. Marquette University (MS in Bioinformatics…..with no funding)

    6. Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis i.e IUPUI (MS in Bioinformatics with $6000 financial award per year.)

    I'm still waiting for decisions from University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign and George Washington University.

    Going by the offers that I have got, I am tempted to accept the offer from Indiana University, Bloomington. I have heard from a senior that is an excellent university for Bioinformatics as it has collaborations with many research centres in and around Indiana.

    Can you compare Indiana University to my other admits and let me know whether I should really go ahead with Indiana or should I accept the offer from a better brand name such as Georgia Tech or Carnegie Mellon. Is Indiana a good place to study in general ?

    I'm finding it difficult to compare because in the latest USNEWS rankings, Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon are ranked below Indiana University for the Biological Sciences, although OVERALL these two universities are higher ranked than Indiana.

  114. Hey I had applied for MS -fall 2010-Mechanical Engg.

  120. Hello HSB,

    I have applied for M.S in computer Science at 3 universities. Till now I have received one admit and hoping to get at least one from the rest.

    My applied colleges are—

    New York University(Grad school of arts and science ranked 17th)—Received admit with no fee waiver. The tuition fee is around 40k usd.

    NJIT—Not received .Tuition fee is 23k usd.

    USC(ranked 20th in computer science list)—Not received. Tuition fee is 48k usd.

    Kindly suggest which one would be better basing on job prospects and and cost-wise.

    1. go with USC, it's really worth it..but u should be ready to spend money if u dont get TA/RA in second yr…

      All the Best!!

    1. Hi Satyabh,

      Could you please tell us whether you got selected in UTA ?? Is UTA good for Electrical Engg compared to Illinois, Chicago & Utah State University, Logan ???

      Kind Regards,
      Ashwin Prabhu

  122. Can someone help me ??
    I have got admit from 6 of the 9 colleges I have applied to. One of them being Purdue Univ, for MS in civil Engineering. I want to know if there is any chance of funding after i go there or if i should consider other universities. I don’t want to burden my parents. I got admits from penn state, Univ of pittsburg, IIT, Philadelphia Univ, Univ of Kansas.

  123. Hi,
    My name is vineeth i applied for four university's and got admits in all four of them
    1)Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (Ms in EE)
    2)University of Texas at Arlington(Ms in Computer Engineering)
    3)Florida Institute of Technology(Ms in Computer Engineering)
    4)wright state university(Ms in Computer Engineering)
    but did not get funding from any one of them
    I'm totally confused which one should I decide to go

      1. Florida Tech is an excellent choice. Not only is a good school, but the area, close to the beaches and to a variety of tech companies (Northrop Grumman, Harris, L3, Rockwell, Raytheon, DRS, etc.) around makes it a good choice for working hard and playing hard. Florida Tech is a nationally top tier university… not sure about the other ones.

  124. Hi HSB,

    I have got admits for MS in Mech from two universities Michigan Tech (I-20 No funding fees 22K) and Purdue ( No I-20 till now fees 34K). My credentials are GRE 1470 TOEFL 105 Avg %61. The email of admit from purdue mentions only admission and no other information regarding funding or fees. How do I go @ getting some aid, do I stand any chances of getting aid from purdue at this point of time? I am waiting to hear from NCSU and SUNY Buffallo. Please advice on which university to select. I cannot pay more than 8-10Lakh rs for my MS. Kindly advice on way forward

    Regards,

    Deep

    1. Dear Deep,

      You would get admit frm SUNY buffalo without aid. and its very cheap.and can manage it within 10 lacs. Dont go for MTU (personal view).
      NCSU mostly reject hai since u havent heard from them..so be postive @ SUNY.
      on a lighter note..i am waiting for purdue admits for MS Mech. and have got admit from SUNY buffalo..so if possible lets swap…

  125. Hi,
    I got admits from
    1. ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (NON THESIS)
    2. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO (THESIS)
    3.UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE – KNOXVILLE(Waiting)

    fees(12 month period)-
    UIC= 27k(TUTION)+12k(living)+1k(Books)
    IIT= 18k(TUTION)+12k(living)+1k(books)

      1. what about UIC? My major is Chemical Engineering

        can u tell me good universities for chemical engineering…

    1. I too have an admit for IIT-chicago for Professional Master's Degree Program in Chemical engineering. have got half tution waiver.Heard the dept is good.Do u know about job prospects???

  126. Can anybody reply to my messages…..I have posted my query two times….but no 1 seems interested to reply……whats the matter??

    I got my admits from UTD and West Virginia University @ morgantown.I am not able to decide between the two.UTD seems to be cheaper and the I20 tuition fees comes to around 17000k per year. West virginia i guess it comes to 22,000k per year.
    Please help me in deciding between the two.

  131. Sir

  132. Hi, Good Morning,

    I have almost 3 years of work experience in the software industry, with a B.tech degree in IT(GPA 87%). GRE:1280,Toefl:108

    I had applied for a PhD in CS (database systems & security) and received admits from:

    4) University of Houston (main campus)($25K)
    5) Florida state university ($30k)
    6) MS in CS: Arizona state university ($42K)

    I am still to hear from:
    1) UTD: university of Texas at Dallas
    2) UCD: university of California Davis

    Unfortunately I have not received any funding. I am very confused as to which university i should go for. As of now i have decided to pick U of Houston due to lower cost of tuition and living expenses. But i am still waiting for a decision from UTD. I wish to go for ASU but the i-20 amount is insanely high. what would my best choice from the point of view of covering tuition and job prospects after graduation.

    What would be your suggestion. Please do give me some advice regarding all my options.

    Thank you.

    2. TEXAS TECH, MS in EE, FALL-10 (25689$-I-20 amount)
    3. LOUISIANA TECH UNIV, MS in Molecular science & Nanotechnology,(18322$-I-20 amount)

    Rejection: 1. SUNY ALBANY for MS in Nanoscale Engineering.

    Please help me choose from the above Universities,with respect to course,research opportunity nd future chances of funding.

    Note: My Visa has been rejected twice last year for UTA,(due to insufficient fund)

  134. Hi all,

    I am a B.Tech IT graduate with 1.5 years of work experience in TCS.

    Acads – 90.6% (Gold medalist from Anna University)

    GRE – 1120

    TOEFL – 106

    I have applied for MS-CS Fall 2010 and have got the following admits,

    1. Ohio State University – $34,664 (Tuition and fees), $18,324(Living Expenses)

    Pros – Reputed University, excellent opportunities to pursue a PhD!

    Cons – High Costs!

    2. Syracuse University – $38,932.00 (Estimated Total Cost of Attendance) (With a waiver of 50% of tuition fee)

    Pros – Low tuition fee

    Cons – Low reputation which diminishes the job opportunities

    3. Uppsala University, Sweden (MSc – Computational Science. No tuition fee)

    Pros – Low Cost, Reputed institution, excellent opportunities for PhD!

    Cons – Limited job market, non-native language

    I am awaiting results from the following universities

    1. GA Tech

    2.University of Minnesota

    I am confused if I had to take a calculated risk by spending a ransome for Ohio or settle for Syracuse or brave the Uppsala.

    1. For PhD – research is that counts not money and reputation.
      Note – Read the articles about PhD from the blog. Rule out Uppasala. PhD students will get funding in a sem or two. Gtech aid is available only to PhD.
      Who said reputation diminishes job opportunities?

  135. hi,

    I have got 3 admits and have to make a final call. I had applied for MS in Electrical Engineering for fall 2010.

    My admits are

    George Washington univ. washington DC

    drexel univ.

    Univ. at Maryland Baltimore county(UMBC)

    GWU will be costly so plz suggest between UMBC n Drexel

    according to my course…

  136. Hi.. My name is karthik Ragunath from madurai,Tamilnadu,India. I have got 2 admissions for MS in Industrial Engineering for Fall 2010.
    1. Rochester Institute of Technology,Newyork
    2.Oklahoma state university,Stillwater.

    No scholarship,assistanships in either of the university.

    cost of attendence

    1. RIT,Newyork
    total expense to be shown in bank account: $42000/year.
    tutionfee:…………$31000/year

    system of education : quarter system

    advantages: since its location is in Newyork so more job opportunities ill be there. which I heard from others lot of part time jobs are available to cover up personal expenses,house rent,electricity bill etc… the dollars which i mentioned above is demanded by the university… but actually entire course can be completed with $42000.which I asked from my college senior there who just passed out from there..currently hes searching job…..

    Disadvantages : Highly expensive,rest everything is ok…

    2. Oklahoma State University,Oklahoma
    Total expense to be shown in bank account: $24000/year
    tution fee:$12000/year

    Advantages: Since its a state university less expense.
    Disadvantages : no part time job availability,since a dining services which gives 50-60% indians part time job is going for renovation…..remote location may lead to less number of job opportunities.

    My Profile:
    B.Tech Mechanical Engineering from NIT Trichy.
    Work Experience: 2.5 years+ in ONGC(Oil And Natural Gas Corporation),Andhra,India.

    My parents are asking me to go for RIT… because of more chance of getting a job. But I don want to invest such a huge amount of money for MS.. so I thought of going for Oklahoma thinking that ill find some job there… But I received a mail from one of my friend from OSU like finding a part time job became very difficult there…moreover funding from Industrial Engineering is also very less….

    Im totally confused. Give me some positive and valuable suggestion as this decision is going to change my career and future.

    waiting for your reply.

    bye,
    karthik ragunath.m

    1. Like every other student, you have come to conclusion that you can get job only if the university reputation is good.

      Your chance of finding job is same between studying RIT or OSU.

  146. I have got only one admit- University of Colorado at Boulder for MS in EE but I have heard that living conditions are not the best at Boulder since it is located close to Rocky mountains. The weather is extremely cold. Also since its not away from the silicon valley, I'm not too sure about job opportunities.
    Can you tell me whether to accept the admit and go for MS or get a work experience and apply again?

    1. University of Colorado Boluder is good school. Temperature is not as bad as you think. It will be cold in winter. Who told you that you have to study in Silicon valley to get a job?

  153. Hi! You’ve been an angel right from when we started following the blog, with help on all kinda tidbits. My situation is like this: I have a UCSD PhD admit in Bioengineering with no funding whatsover, an Utah State University PhD admit in Biology with stipend and full tuition waiver and am waiting for the University of Rochester interview. I can’t afford UCSD so it’s outta the question. I have a GATE rank of 33 in Biotech. My dilemma is should I choose USU or should I stay back a year and try again? People around me are convinced that USU is not a good option coz it’s not that good a ranking, but I’m happy about the professor’s work. What do I do?

    1. If you have read the articles in the blog about PhD, you will go with UCSD. For PhD your research interest must come first than funding. If you get into a program just for sake of money, you will have hard time to complete PhD.

      UCSD – Top 5 school for Biomed in US.

  154. Hello Sir.I have applied in MIS in the following universities.

    POlytechnic Institute of NYU(Aid 7000$/yr)

    Really confused which 1 to select.If I go with NYU POLY then cost will be less. Heard a lot of good about its merger with NYU. USC is more costlier but is it worth 2 invest.Almost evry1 makes it for USC. They hardly giv rejects

  156. Got admits from

    UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA HUNTSVILLE
    SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY EDWARDSVILLE

    Its 24141$ per year as per i20 of SIUE
