@dev: what would be a safe college, in your opinion.(i thought northeastern was pretty safe). is it because of my cgpa ?(i have close to 8 months of internship btw,2 in first one,6 in the other), i have done a project in college, but im trying to avoid mentioning that.

**Dev261208** · 11-18-2014 03:29 PM

@anupam northeastern is kinda selective and expensive too, still you can try. As well as, check about these univs since their acceptance rate it good:

Iowa State univ-safe
Kansas State Univ-safe

In major cities:

Illinois Institute of Technology – Chicago-safe
univ of Illinois Chicago- good chances
SUNY Binghmton-safe
SUNY Buffalo-mod
UT Dallas-safe

@dev ok will try for univ of Illinois Chicago, Buffalo SUNY..(still going to see what happens for Northeastern, no harm in trying) thoughts on University of Chicago?

**Dev261208** · 11-18-2014 04:51 PM

Generous in terms of Scholarship.......but very expensive like other good private institutions.

**anupam.basu** · 11-26-2014 02:29 PM

@dev ASU and Boulder are expensive right? am still considering applying for both(though i think i might miss out on asu)

**Dev261208** · 11-26-2014 06:02 PM

Depends on how big your pocket is. For some people Univs like these are not expensive.But on the other hand for people like me , yes they are expensive.
For MS course, ASU asks for approx 47k $ on financial affidavit and boulder even more i guess.
