Hey Arushi, congrats on getting into CMU!. Could you please tell me about the tuition fees in CMU and did you applied for any scholarships, if so did you received any scholarships?

[@mohammadsaim1613]

Hey Arushi! Did you also look into scholarship options while taking admission in CMU?

[@shivanshujain6074]

Congrats on your getting in CMU arushi. Could you also tell how you obtained the LORs from your professors and anyone else as well. Thank you!

[@bodaddy6771]

I have close 5 years of work ex and i m currently working as senior data engineer for a US based MNC i graduated from a tier 3 college with CS and 7.6 GPA i dont have any research paper though , i have one LOR from my engagement manager.

[@user-xl8dk9ly9t]

Hi Arushi, Did you take help from any counseller or agency for the complete process of admission, SOP, LOR etc. Could you please answer?

[@meetonair]

Congratulations! on getting admits in top universities.

[@arushijain273]

Thank you very much!

[@snehbavarva8383]

Hey Arushi. Congratulation on getting admits. I have a lil doubt, that you scored 158 in verbal but you got 112 in toefl. I mean GRE's verbal is really hard and you scored well then why 112 in toefl? I mean it has to be easy for you na, isn't that right? actually I am looking at toefl format and i found that easy so I am giving that but sounds like it is really hard.

Congratulations!!! As a Fall 2024 aspirant, it was really helpful to know about your experience. Looking forward to learning more about your journey. Please keep up this good work!

[@arushijain273]

Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions about the process

[@SarahAbbas2907]

Is your university is public? And give you scholarship?

[@nagendrabhatk8493]

Hi Congrats... I would like to know for MSCS programme at CMU with a profile of GPA 3.3+ GRE 318 (quant160)+TOEFL 108 and 2 years work experience in an MNC as a developer but no reaearch papers. Is it worth applying?

[@jeevankurian9148]

Hi , did you apply on you own or through any study agency? Because I was just wondering does applying through study agency lower chances of getting any scholarships as study agents get commission form university from our first years tuition fees. If so will not the university prefer to give schilarahip Or Ta/ ra to those who didn't apply through stydy agency

[@arushijain273]

I had help from a mix of relatives, friends, and a consultancy too. I applied to such colleges that did not take commission from consultancies. I am not sure if I may be the correct person to answer that. RA/TA positions are subject to experience and interview, I don't think the consultancy can give you one.

[@SHIVAMGUPTA-kl5gk]

Congratulation!! Arushi for your admits. I'm aiming for fall 24 in MS in CS but struggling with GRE Exam, I have more than 1.5 yrs of experience as a software developer and had a GPA of 8.6 in Information technology from tier 3 college, what do you think about what extent gre exam is matter to getting admitted to good universities?

[@arushijain273]

Thank you Shivam. Getting a good GRE score is the least you can do for your profile. That being said, even if you score low, and you do not have the time to retake the exam- then focus on other things like publishing papers, building projects, extracurricular activities, and working on the SoP, getting good recommendations.

[@manavukani9526]

Congratulations on your acceptance to CMU! I'm aiming for the Fall of 2024 intake for the MS in CS program. With a CGPA of 9.96 and a GRE score of 324, I'm yet to take the IELTS. Alongside, I've undertaken substantial projects, engaged in extracurricular activities, accumulated 4-6 months of work experience, all from a tier-2/3 college. While I possess a single publication and it's challenging to produce more research publications in a short span, I'm seeking advice on additional ways to enhance my profile. Can you help?

[@originalghostrecon5077]

great profile bro

[@i_izhar03]

who the fuck has a cgpa of 9.96 , you eat books in breakfast or what ?

[@shraiyashpandey365]

Hi Arushi, congrats on getting into CMU! I was wondering if you had any research publications,. Since I have mainly focused on that aspect, with a total of 4 publications, but almost no experience. However, I would also like to mention that I am applying right after my undergrad. So how would that differentiate in terms of my admission chances into top colleges?

[@arushijain273]

Thank you! So I applied right after my undergrad too. As long as you have good stuff to put on your resume, it doesn’t matter. Research publications are really helpful considering what program you’re targeting. If it’s purely tech oriented, then definitely the papers will help.

[@user-fj8sv5cx7y]

Hi Arushi, thanks for your experience. I'm a 2020 Mechanical engineering graduate with a 8.5 Gpa, working in tech (software testing) for about 2.5 years now. I was wondering is non-CS majors like me can apply for these courses (CS, MIMS, MIDS) and what should I work on to get started?

I won't suggest you to publish in local/predatory journals. Better go for Scopus indexed conferences, if your paper is not publishable in SCI indexed journals.

I've scored 313 in GRE, 107 in TOEFL and my CGPA is 9.6/10 ... Can you recommend some good universities for MS in CS ?

[@arushijain273]

So I’m not really sure what universities fall into that range. You should check out Linkedin and look at people’s scores and unis to estimate your advantage.

[@cc-yl2vs]

From where do you shortlist universities?

[@arushijain273]

So I searched the net, looked at best lists. I had help from friends, family and counsellors. Then I picked out the unis according to the areas. I ruled out all the unis where the living cost was high, or the city is not safe, or if they were in the mid west.

[@DataRanger]

How to prepare for gre and TOEFL?? Please suggest

[@arushijain273]

Manhattan 5lb, official resources, magoosh, TOP coaching based in Banglore and lots of tests

[@_Dhruvin]

best wishes for your master at CMU Arushi, I just want to ask that how relevent is work experience for admission in top 30 to 50 range unis, I have a one internship and could have one 6 month internship before going to apply, Should I have your linkedIn or any community to get updates and doubt solve regarding admission? and keep posting,

[@arushijain273]

Thank you! You can always mould experience towards your masters. Even if it’s totally different, you can show qualities that makes you a good fit for the program of your choice. In that case, you need a really good SoP. I’m on LinkedIn as arushijain273, there’s no community channel as such. But I’ll always be active in the comments section.

[@user-yq7xz7gw7i]

Hi, Arushi congrats on your admission I wanted to ask , are research paper important to get admitted to good universities. I have a 6-month work ex and now I am a full-time employee of the same company. Targetting 24 Sept admission for CS as major completed my Btech this year only with 9.1 cgpa could help me with this.

[@arushijain273]

Thank you. You have to add all kinds of credibility to your profile. Everything has an opportunity cost. Research papers do help, but I did not have the time to write one since I was preparing for SoP, working on Projects, and preparing for exams. If you have the time, go for it. If not, then try to do more personal projects which may help you stand apart.
