Happy Points Method to Select Graduate Schools

I’m getting wonderful responses from the posts. I really appreciate your comments and thanks for visiting Happy Schools Blog. If you can spread the word about Happy Schools to your friends, college juniors, it will help them. I know there are so many students looking for information about U.S. Universities, Graduate School Admission and so many other finer details. I have good news to share in this post.

1) New Blog Layout and new .com site for Happy Schools will be launched soon. It will have more features and easy to access contents.

2) I’m creating Happy Point : Method students can use to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of different universities and help you decide based on question system. Main advantage of this method is to make you think and decide for yourself, university you need to attend, instead of some consultancy suggesting which university to attend.

Suppose, if you are asking me to short list universities, I will follow the same Happy Point method I’m going to explain later. Everyone who have asked me, like

‘I have admits from SDSU, SJIC, NJIT and not sure which one to select’, this Happy Point method is the way to decide and put an end to your confusion.

It would take some 2 hours to complete the work. I just started creating the spreadsheet with questions and how to weigh each factors. Happy Point Method will work like this.

1) List of all possible factors ( Questions ) student should ask

2) Put weight ( importance to each factor )

3) University that gets the highest point is where student would possibly attend.

Factors will include long list of questions( I would call it as Happy Factors), like part time jobs, climate, cost of living, internships, …

So, hang on and wait is almost over. Just hang tight you will have the Happy Point Method available.

I started working on the Spreadsheet and some of the Happy Factors are

Tuition fee per year - Out-StateTuition fee per year - In-StateRA/TAScholarshipPart Time Job Cost of Living Jobs after M.S. Internship Length of M.S. Program Thesis/Non-Thesis International Student Population Quality of Education Climate/Location Current Student Satisfaction Can you Afford

There are so many questions you need to ask to fill the values for the spreadsheet. I’m creating the questions to that will help you to make informed decision about universities. The article is growing in length than I expected, so I need more time.
