The first step in choosing a American university is
to choose some four to ten universities suitable to your GRE/TOEFL
test scores, Academic percentage.
Now filter the universities selected by you based on cost of Education.
One of the primary factors in selecting a American university
is Cost of the Education (Tuition + Other fees+ Living expenses).
Cost of the Education plays a main role rather than the university
ranking or anything else. Generally Schools with less less tuition
fee are preferable. Generally schools below $5000 per 9 credit hours
are considered as schools with low tuition.
-
If School's tuition is high, then look for funds available
in your department.
-
If you get an admission for a high ranked university with
high tuition fee and a low ranked university with less
Tuition fee, then choose the school, with less cost
of education.
Enquire about the
Funding opportunities available in the
specified departments of American universities where you are seeking admission. This is a very
important step in University selection because a University may
not offer good funding for all departments equally. Funding means
Fee waivers/ Assistantships. Look a the
Funding Opportunities
page of the MSinUS.COM . Use Orkut Communities, Yahoo Groups
of American universities.
Enquire whether your major in the School/University is
Accredited or not. Accreditation is the certification that a
school or program meets a prescribed academic standard. It is very
important to know that a college or university is accredited. If you
attend a college or university that is not accredited, you will not
be able to transfer your credits to an accredited college or
university. Your home country may not recognize your degrees, and
you may not be able to get the job you want.
Always Select a School with less tuition fee and in Urban
area. Because In urban areas you have the chances of getting
Internships (full time jobs while pursuing MS). If you can get an
Internship you can work for full time in USA while doing your MS,
which gives you lot money to support your education.
