Further Details about projects and co-curriculars provided in the below profile, again please do refer , would be of immense help:
http://www.edulix.com/unisearch/user.php?uid=341028
Aiming for: MS in CS
Desired Specialisation for MS : Data Science (Computer Science) interested.
and software engineering(considering I have exposure to quality analysis –automation and manual, SDLC, STLC etc)
After further research , I think I should focus on the below universities , I would still like to bring down the list to 10 universities, thinking 3 safe, 4 mod and 3 ambi, Kindly help enlighten me on the categorization on the basis of ambitious, moderate and safe as per my profile. Also what other universities I may have left out, please mention:
USC- MS in CS with data science specialization
UC Irvine- MS in CS
ASU
Columbia University( Acceptance rate is real low,should i even consider this??)
TAMU
Rice University
GATECH
NCSU
Stony
Purdue University
University of Wisconsin
UNCC
UPenn
NYU(MS in CS- DS)
Rudgers(MS in CS)
CMU(Ambi++, I think)
Is there any other university I should consider apart from this and check them out??
Also I do have some queries, would be great if you could clear them out, Thanks.
1. For university ranking and course ranking and other relevant details, which is the best site I could refer on??I have been looking at MSINUS mainly till now , Sorry but I have been looking at sites and trying to find things out as I proceed.
2. Factors on deciding have been Location, Courses, Fees and Job opportunities synonymous with location), Am I missing out any other important factor apart from these while deciding my university list, what do you think??
3. I have 2 LOR’s from workplace, 1 LOR from our client(strong) and one from my College guide Guide but is an Electronics project, will this last LOR even add anything to the profile because I do need atleast one from academics.what do you suggest?
Thanks a lot for the help.
