Hi friends,

I got admits from Oklahoma State Univ, Univ of Texas Arlington, and New mexico state univ for MS in Comp Science.
Awaiting results from IIT chicago and Univ of Tennessee Knoxville. Plz share ur views about these univs? Are they reputed and how are the visa chances/scholarship scenario/post MS job prospects ? Which among my admits are good?

My profile-- GRE(1060), TOEFL-90, CGPA-8.2(no backlogs), 1 paper presentation

Congrats on receiving the i20's and first let me tell you this that getting a branded univ is not gonna get you the VISA its actually you who will be tested by VO (visa officer). Right attitude, positive answers will win you visa not the university. Secondly as far as scholarship scenarios go, i think you would get some at Oklahoma state university and UTA but i can't tell you about IIT as they are too peculiar in these aspects. And Last but not the least a job truly depends on your capabilities and not on university. I have many friends in USA who got good jobs (one friend works for CSC as a Software Engineer however he completed his masters from Chicago State University). My advice would be to select a university that provides you good scholarship options, be confident on visa date and play it sharp to get in IT company.

All the Best!
