hi sir.. i’ve just generated interest attaining a masters degree in USA.. i’m doing my engineering in information science . So the year i might be wanting an admission is 2011. Can i know what are the things which i need to keep in mind in these two years to prepare myself for the big leap. And how i can tell my family to prepare financially. Does it help if we have our immediate family and cousins in America to get a visa or admission.
Preparation to Study in USA
First of all you made a good decision. Some students decide late in Final year, and ambitious few decide in second year of the Engineering to study in US. Having decided to study in US with over 2 years to go, you have lot of time in your hand to prepare for the journey ahead.
You can do the following things
- Start preparing for GRE. You will need to have passport to take GRE Exam.
- Sketch out the project plan with time line
- Subscribe to Happy Schools Blog News Letter, you will receive an Free Ebook. It contains flowchart with timeline. Use that to plan your moves.
- You will need to show bank balance while applying for admission.
- After getting admission, you will have to bank balance while appearing for student visa interview.
- If you have good academic profile, you can study in US without spending a dime.
- Try to present few parers, do an internship, summer projects in companies, ..will improve your academic profile.
If you have additional question, leave a comment to this article.

Hello sir,
I have just started with my third year and had already made my mind to do MS in US and i have planned to take admission in FALL 2011.
My profile 10th-94%,12th-86%,B.E.(upto 2nd yr.)-96% with no backlogs. I am from a lower middle class family. I am concerned about the money and which university to apply. How much bank balance is to be shown while applying for VISA. I am totally confused. Help me.

Hello-
I think the example which you gave in the above of the requirement of University Of texas is 25000$.
I dont think my dad’s savings wud get me that.Can i take money from my uncle and deposit it in my dad’s account and would return to him as soon as i get a loan from the bank after showing I-20 from the University.
Will it be a problem in visa or in getting admission if i take it from my uncle without letting the university to know that and get that money deposited in my dad’s account.
Plz letme know its yet another doubt for me….

Hello Sir,
I have just started with my third year and had already made my mind to do MS in US and i have planned to take admission in FALL 2011.
My profile 10th-78%,12th-73%,B.E.(upto 2nd yr.)-56% with 5 backlogs.My problem is that since i wud give gre next year around august 2010,I would have to apply in november 2010 for admi. in fall 2011 so the undergraduate score that i would show them would be of my first three years so how do you rate my chances should i give gre.How would the whole procedure work since performance of only 3 years would be taken in account.
Please let me know i m having this serious doubt in my mind.
