How can i apply if my degree is gonna complete in april and deadline for fall sem is in somewhere jan as the clg asks for transceipts and all how i am gonna manage it

Hey Rohit, you can still apply for the transcripts till the 6th semester and with a provisional degree. Check with your college.

[@abhiroopreddy3733]

Stony Brook Cs is more competitive than Univ Of Florida Cs. SBU should be in ambitious list and UF Cs would probably be in Moderate list.

[@RajatMJain]

Hey Abhiroop, I agree. Recently SBU has been very competitive to get into.

[@hanselpresley4759]

Would it affect job prospects having a computer engineering degree instead of a computer science degree?

[@RajatMJain]

It wouldn’t, if you look closely at job postings they always mention degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or equivalent. Eg: Apple

[@jayaprakash9367]

Hy bro I got 7.43 CGPA in 5,6,7,8th sem I have over all CGPA of 8.7 and ILETS 7.5, GRE has been waived for my department so they didn't ask me. I did btech in aerospace applied for ms in aerospace at ASU is there any chance of getting acceptance?

[@RajatMJain]

I believe you do have a chance of getting in, since aerospace doesn’t have a high volume of applicants! Overall you have a good CGPA and IELTS score. Without reviewing your entire profile I can’t say surely but you do stand a fair chance. All the best!

Dude, Congratulations for the admit. By any chance,do you have a sheet regarding colleges, it's prerequisites, tuition fees? It would really help a lot.

Thank you. I’m sorry I don’t, although you can always look it up on their websites.

[@bharathsanjay8876]

I have a CGPA of 9.1 , 2 internships and good projects. However my GRE score is a bit low 308(154 v&q and 4 awa). Will i able to get admits in MS in CS program in any of top 60 universities and the also the ones you had applied? also few universiites have waived off gre for fall 2022 as well

[@RajatMJain]

Since you’ve already taken the GRE, you might have to report the scores to them. Atleast the UCs require it. Coming to your profile, a lot of people will say that there are people with scores less than you who get into top colleges. The reality is that there are only 1-2 such students who’s profile justifies that they can not be judged on the basis of their grades. If you’re one of them, sure you can get admits. In reality if you want to get into CS, you will require 160+ in Quants because it’s a very math oriented department. Verbal is fine but it’s about Quants really.

[@bharathsanjay8876]

@@RajatMJain so what would you suggest? to retake the GRE? will i still have time to retake it? Or shall i proceed with these scores?

Hey Abhay, I haven’t got a chance to visit any of the CSUs but I’ve heard CSU Fullerton and CSU Pomona are really good.

[@toxiclegacy5948]

All the best for future. Btw what about the tution fees for 1 year?

[@RajatMJain]

Thank you, the tuition for 4 quarters which means the entire course is close to $44,000. UCs follow the quarter system instead of the semester system.

Hey Deepak! No, I didn’t have any backlogs during my undergrad.

Is it possible get an admit in MS Business Analytics program from any mediocre University in the US with upto 10 backlog history?

[@GurpreetSingh-sr1ch]

How and why did you manage to talk to the professors at the colleges?

[@RajatMJain]

To have a point of contact at the university and increase my likelihood of getting an admit and a TA eventually. Building a relationship with professors is crucial if you want to work on research with them or get hired as a TA.

[@sandeepyel4248]

Hey can you suggest why you finalized the college, what is tution fee, what is living cost, any others highlights in specific, what other colleges we need to consider in California when applying?

[@RajatMJain]

Sure. UCR is a part of the UC system which is one of the most coveted public university system. My tuition fee is approximately $44K which is generally low as compared to other universities, and definitely lower than private universities. The cost of living is $14,400/year, this includes rent, utilities and food. UCI, UCSC, UCLA and UCSD are some of the other colleges you should consider. I loved the location of Riverside because it’s very close to LA, so plenty of opportunities and most importantly the faculty is amazing! We have 2 Nobel Prize winners and all the professors I spoke to are super friendly and always ready to help you.

[@RajatMJain]

I think it depends on how you see your career ahead. MS will be an absolute change from what you’ve been preparing for. The lifestyle in general is very different.

[@asadkhrd2218]

Rajat bhai, i am truly impressed that you got UCR...Me too planning to study in UCR for MS in Computer Engineering, but the fees is too high, so you know about scholarships/student assistantship, or any financial support offered by UCR to international students, please tell me, will be of great help. ❤️ from Mumbai.

[@RajatMJain]

Thank you Asad. As far as assistantships are concerned, you can get a TA or a student assistantship from the second quarter onwards. International students get no kind of scholarship since UCR is a public university. Only California residents get financial aid. Apart from that, you can also get an on campus job in different departments. Hope this helps. All the best.

Hey Melika, I labelled universities as safe if people with a profile similar to mine got through. It’s not always an accurate estimate but it helps.

[@pratikchaudhari2344]

Your shortlisting of universities according to your profile was wrong. All your moderate universities were actually ambitious for you. ASU, NEU, NYU Tandon, UTD accept profiles with 8+ cgpa.

[@RajatMJain]

It is subjective, I’ve seen people with 7 pointers but with strong SOPs and LORs also get into such universities. It’s a matter of how you present yourself to the universities. What happened this year was that since GRE was waived off, majority of the college became very GPA centric.

[@pratikchaudhari2344]

@@RajatMJain Yeah. I know that but for MS in CS, even during non-covid times, few people get admits for profile with CGPA 7+. General admits what I have seen for MS in CS at these universities like ASU, UTD, NEU, NYU Tandon etc. have CGPA 8+, GRE 310-320, Good SOP and LOR's.
