Spring 2008 students : Did you decide on universities?
By HSB
At this point low GRE score or low TOEFL score doesn’t matter. Admission is given to you and now its time to decide on universities. I’m getting lots of emails about selecting graduate schools from list of universities they got admission from. So, I decided to give a recap from my previous posts on how to shortlist universities. You can consider this post to be continuation of previous post on shortlisting schools and deciding on which graduate college to attend.
By now most of the students should have admission status for Spring 2008 semester. Some who got only one graduate school admission will not have much problem in deciding on which schools to attend. Students with more than one admission from graduate school will have big decision to make, that you will have to live with rest of your life. To help make you that decision, I’ will give some pointers with examples. This would avoid getting transfer to different university after 1 semester.
I had to make the same decision few years back when I applied for 5 universities and got admit from all 5 universities.
Example:
I have admit from SDSU, TAMUK and Fairleigh Dickinson University for Masters in Computer Science. Now, I’m confused on which one to select. I’m sure you must be confused.
Answer from Student perspective who doesn’t have much information will thin about the following questions
1) Which university has more scholarship chances?
2) Which university will have more part time jobs available?
3) Which universities of above 3 will help me to get job after M.S.
4) Then comes how much would it cost to study?
5) SDSU look better then other 2 universities, but its expensive. Shall take risk and go to expensive school or since cannot afford more than 2 semesters fee from parents, I should choose TAMUK?
