Ans: Hello Likhitha,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that you have completed your Bachelor’s of Technology in Artificial Intelligence and wish to pursue your MS in the USA. I would like to tell you that a number of variables viz., the location, course curriculum, the research possibilities, as well as the experience of the faculty play a key role in selecting a university to pursue your Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence in the United States. Universities viz., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, University of Washington, and Carnegie Mellon University, are well-known for the robust programs in Artificial Intelligence that they offer. Outstanding AI programs along with access to state-of-the-art research facilities, distinguished professors, as well as a robust industry network are provided by these prominent schools. In order to find the one that best resonates with your educational and professional objectives, I would recommend that you look into the course design, as well as factor in their fields of specialization, and the possibility of internships or partnerships with business leaders.

Ans: Most of these courses would require GRE as an entrance test.
Usually the first step is to find the admission procedure for each of these colleges. Check the deadline and what is required. Also check the date when you have to submit the scores and then plan your preparation for the exams accordingly. Usually the US universities would have weightage for extra and co curricular activities. Check that out and get involved with those activities.

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: 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.
