Hi sir, I have a great score of 330, and IELTS score of 8 overall. What colleges should I apply for in US, if I want to pursue MS finance? Are there any colleges where I can get a scholarship? I tried the UK colleges last year but got rejected as their class age is 22-23 while I'll be 35 when I enroll in the class.

Ans: Hi, as a US citizen pursuing a BTech in CSE at a top NIT, you should research universities, prepare for GRE/TOEFL exams, gather recommendation letters, and write a strong statement of purpose. Check each university's specific requirements and deadlines. Start early to ensure a smooth application process.

Ans: I should target for absolute low ranking universities.

Ans: Hello,

Firstly, thank you for contacting us. To answer your question, since you’re a US citizen and looking to pursue an MS in Computer Science, it's important to target universities that are flexible with GPA and focus more on other aspects of your application. You may want to consider applying to mid-tier or state universities that value practical experience, strong recommendation letters, and a well-crafted statement of purpose. Schools like University of Texas at Dallas, University of Illinois at Chicago, or University of Arizona might be a good fit, as they often look at the overall profile, including work experience and skills, rather than just GPA. You can also explore opportunities for improving your profile with projects, internships, or certifications to enhance your chances.
