Are GRE at home scores being considered by US Universities now? Because my friends have taken GRE at home based test and it was accepted in many good universities too in 2023 but idk about 2024 or upcoming 2025 scenario
Hey! Congrats! Can you please recommend books for GRE prep? Since, GRE changed its system recently, i am finding it hard to see which book would work the best for me and is the latest edition!
Firstly congratulations on bagging offers from various top universities. Can you make a video on how you got your research internship? Thanks and All the best ahead
My undergrad university had informed us about the opportunity. We had to fill up a google form with our resumes, after screening there was an interview and later the results were declared.
Hello Riddhi! First of all congratulations on your admission to UMASS Amherst!! I'd like to ask are you getting any scholarships there like tuition fees waived off? What are the options available to get the scholarships there?
Congratulations U mass Amherst is really great university.once called USA IIT. Because most of the top iits have choosen U mass. Very to get ms cse,but you are very lucky.🎉
Hi, can you please make a video sharing the process you went through to get the application fee waivers for multiple universities? It would be of great help as right seems like the perfect time to start approaching universities for an application fee waiver for the Fall 2025 intake. Thanks!
Can you please tell like when do you apply for fall. As your profile seems pretty good so, i think that you might have applied near to deadlines? Please answer as it is daunting
Hey, No I didn't apply to the ivies because of the expensive fees, shorter course duration and inflated living costs around the ivy league universities.
Hey. I’m studying bachelor’s of computer science in a pretty decent university and have a CGPA of 7. Any tips on how to start preparing and the universities I should try for the next year.
1. How did you pay university application fees (if possible can tell specific card detail) ? 2. Does any these universities have application fee waiver ? 3. Applied on own or any consultant ? Please answer them 🙏
1. I paid all the application fees using a Visa credit card with international transactions enabled. 2. Here are the details- University of Michigan, Ann Arbor - Self-paid University of California, San Diego - Self-paid Purdue University - Self-paid University of California, Irvine - Self-paid University of Massachusetts, Amherst - Self-paid University of Southern California - Self-paid Virginia Tech - Self-paid University of Texas, Dallas - Self-paid New York University, Tandon - Fee Waiver Northeastern University, Boston - Fee Waiver Stevens Institute of Technology - Fee Waiver University College Dublin - Fee Waiver Arizona State University - Fee Waiver George Washington University - Fee Waiver 3. I used Jamboree for everything: GRE online coaching, IELTS test series, and applications. My overall experience with Jamboree was great!
@@RiddhiManiktalia Hello mam. Congratulations on your various admits!✨. I have also taken up consultation with Jamboree and they said they'll only help with 6 admits for me. Is this a different package? Also mam did you go ahead with the SOP that they helped with or did you write one on your own completely. Requesting you to please help with this mam?🙏
@@RiddhiManiktalia Hi Riddhi, Thanks for making this great video and congrats on getting into UMass, I wanted to ask you that how did you got the fee waiver, could you please provide details? and I have sent you conn request on LinkedIn, looking forward to connect with you. Thank you.
Congratulations..and i have one doubt if university minimum cutoff is 80 in toefl and i have secured 85 is it okay to consider this marks or is thr chnace of my application get rejected for toefl score ..is anything above cutoff same
Honestly all universities are great! The things that bothered me a (lil) about the ones that you mentioned were- ASU: Batch size, NYU: Cost and that it's tandon, Stevens: Rank.

One of the universities in 2024, I guess either ASU or UTD, wasn't considering at home GRE tests. Would suggest you to do your research, and rather give the test at a center if possible!
@@RiddhiManiktalia My bachelors was from Mechanical Engineering and I want to do Masters in CS, my average CGPA is 8.2 so any idea about which good Universities I can apply where the chances are higher to get me admitted. Also, I have internships in IT and have done various certification courses also in different IT Technologies.
I attempted GRE and IELTS in summer 2023, and right after that I started working on my SOPs, LORs and other necessary documents for the application procedure.
I got same gpa and same ielts score haven't given gre yet but its similar unofficially with 2 tech internships, 0 papers, 1 technical role in a tech council in my college and many extracurricular achievements all tech related.

Hey riddhi ,just curious about why u didn't choose USC as it has a better QS ranking comparitively. Can you give us some information regarding this and university selection
I honestly really wanted to go to USC until I got to know about it in detail. 1. USC fees and cost of living is extremely high, 20-30lks difference between USC and Umass 2. On campus jobs are much more difficult to get at USC than Umass. 3. Batch size at USC is humongous(1k+ only for MS CS) whereas it is max 250 at Umass. 4. USC is extremely CGPA centric, and a few Indian universities are very lenient when it comes to marks so a lot of students are ain't smart have also received admission at USC(I am not saying all students will fall under this bracket, but many might). So selectivity was way less at USC according to me. I eventually realised that the outcome from both colleges is going to be similar so why not save money, be able to pay off at least my living expenses through an on campus part time job, live in a less crowded environment and be more focused with the academically oriented students. Hence, Umass felt like the best choice FOR ME.
Such large intake 😮 and yes everything else matters... thanks for the information and all the best 👍🏻. Would like to get further updates through the videos ❤ @@RiddhiManiktalia
750 dollars is a huge chunk of money, you should have atleast waited for other safe admits since you had a great profile, NEU put us in a spot wantedly and gave just 2 weeks to decide, its just a tactic for them to get money
After NEU the next admit I received that I would have chosen over it was NYU Tandon, and I received it in Feb :( So it was beyond my control. However, whats done is done. Hoping I earn so much in the future that the 750 dollars that I lost in NEU, wouldn't burn a hole in my heart forever xD

Honestly all universities are great! The things that bothered me a (lil) about the ones that you mentioned were- ASU: Batch size, NYU: Cost and that it's tandon, Stevens: Rank.
Hi , what is the first year fees at UMAS , and how much funds do they ask in i20 ?
The fees depends from course to course, and also on how you plan to carry your curriculum forward. Usually I20s are inflated.

Hey riddhi ,just curious about why u didn't choose USC as it has a better QS ranking comparitively.
Can you give us some information regarding this and university selection
I honestly really wanted to go to USC until I got to know about it in detail.
1. USC fees and cost of living is extremely high, 20-30lks difference between USC and Umass
2. On campus jobs are much more difficult to get at USC than Umass.
3. Batch size at USC is humongous(1k+ only for MS CS) whereas it is max 250 at Umass.
4. USC is extremely CGPA centric, and a few Indian universities are very lenient when it comes to marks so a lot of students are ain't smart have also received admission at USC(I am not saying all students will fall under this bracket, but many might). So selectivity was way less at USC according to me.
I eventually realised that the outcome from both colleges is going to be similar so why not save money, be able to pay off at least my living expenses through an on campus part time job, live in a less crowded environment and be more focused with the academically oriented students. Hence, Umass felt like the best choice FOR ME.
Such large intake 😮 and yes everything else matters... thanks for the information and all the best 👍🏻. Would like to get further updates through the videos ❤ @@RiddhiManiktalia
hi didi can you tell the fee of ms?
Varies from university to university. It's best if you check out the university website for your course fees.
750 dollars is a huge chunk of money, you should have atleast waited for other safe admits since you had a great profile, NEU put us in a spot wantedly and gave just 2 weeks to decide, its just a tactic for them to get money
After NEU the next admit I received that I would have chosen over it was NYU Tandon, and I received it in Feb :( So it was beyond my control. However, whats done is done. Hoping I earn so much in the future that the 750 dollars that I lost in NEU, wouldn't burn a hole in my heart forever xD
i have a cgpa of 7.5 what do you think of applying there in us
😂😂
You can definitely apply but I would recommend you to connect with people on Linkedin with similar profiles, so that they can guide you better.
Why you didn't appear for gate exam
I wanted to study abroad since a very young age.
Since when did u start working on research?
Since second year
How did you get a scholarship?
I did not apply for any scholarships separately. Just did the basic application procedure.
How good are you at coding?
How to apply for scholarship..is that while applying to clges or separately
what would you total cost of masters ?
Heyy, is a btech degree important to get MS CS???
Most universities ask for a 4 year degree, but I would suggest you to research about it.
Omg great
Hey can we connect on linkedin i have so many doubts regarding ms application
Sure! My Linkedin username is- Riddhi Maniktalia
@@RiddhiManiktalia ok i send you request
Why not Germany?
Germany seems to be a good option for cs atleast better than Us
Language barrier
Nothing in Germany

Im also 2024 Grad, dont have work experience, internships, research papers, cgpa=9.3, should I prepare for GRE, IELTS or gain experience to enhance my profile?
I think it's a lil late now to apply for Fall'24. You should take work ex for a year now and then prepare for the next cycle!(my opinion)
@@RiddhiManiktalia yeah, I'm also thinking same, will apply next year. Thanks and all the best
