Graduate study in the US for international students?
1 point by mich on Dec 16, 2007 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Hi,

I am currently an undergraduate CS student in Europe and would like to do a graduate study in the US. Does anyone have the experience just what it takes to be accepted to the universities there? I am thinking of the more respectable universities of course.

Anything would be very much appreciated.




I am interested in a MS/PhD program. So are these test the most important whether you get accepted to top programs or is it something else? Are perfect grades more important? Or research work / competitions / etc? How difficult is it to get accepted?


it depends what u want to do - MS? MBA? etc. - you need to visit university website and see what they need - you need to be good at writing an essay and good at TOEFL, GRE or GMAT tests.
