sirRiddy:
Thanks guys. It is the least I can do for the gains I made from this thread. Hopefully, other members would do the same when they get admission and funding.

essayHelp I applied for Fall. Applied early October and got both admission and funding decisions in October. Pretty early and fast, huh? In the program, there are only 12 Graduate Teaching Assistantships and the deadline is January 1 for funding. So, if a better qualified candidate applies on the 2nd of January (when funding would likely have been shared), he is OYO. So, apply early.

Perotti, only KSU has funded thus far. Since I got that decision, I have pretty much forgotten about other schools. Infact, others have been asking me for my Statement of Account but I am not interested, have other things to sort out. UALR and MTSU said they would tell me if I will get a GA around April/May.

Denvan thanks for the kind words. I am sure you have settled nicely in the US now.

COPIED FROM A FACEBOOK GROUP

Hello, I am grad student in USA. I see some many people posting for profile evaluation and I would like to give some suggestions to those who are gonna apply based on my past experiences and mistakes i did while applying and selecting the universities.

1. Do a thorough research about the university and the department. Make sure that the university is good enough. How can you do that? The best way is to ask somebody who is currently doing MS in your desired specialization there. It is always ok to get suggestions from from first year grad students but the best is to ask people from the second year. The reason is because, first year students are just getting knowing about the university and the department. Most popular universities have Facebook pages. You can post a question there. At least try to get opinion from 4 or 5 person. If you get a negative review from all the five that means its always good to stay away.Opinion from students from another department is not reliable. For eg. If you are looking for CS in XYZ university, ask opinion from students doing MS in CS not EE.

2. Know about the department policies and rules. Know about the CPT (Internship). requirement. for the university. CPT is approved by your graduate adviser. Different universities and departments have different policies regarding that. Some university departments allows CPT 40hr/week anywhere in US after 18 credits. Some allows 40 hrs/week during summer and allow to do internship within 100 miles radius during spring and fall. It totally varies. A university which is flexible is the best. A university whose rules are stricter may not help you much even if it sits in IT hubs like silicon valley.

3. Know about the expenses and the surrounding city. Get ready to struggle as you first few months in US wont be easy for you.

Climb the flyover to that Ikeja road. You will see okada riders at that bus-stop. Tell them you are going to JKK. They will charge u #100 but you can still take keke around that bus-stop. They charge less.

You'll need sufficient data to download most of the materials. You don't need all of them. First, try and locate the ETS TOEFL iBT prep software in the first link (You might have to dig into the folders to find the exact location). Thereafter; you download and install. Make sure you take all the practice test for all sections after going through the noteful videos in the second link. The videos are all you need. Don't bother to read the bulky materials therein. Focus on the sections in this order; Speaking, Writing, Reading, Listening. I had five days to prepare and the materials helped land a 107. I came across a well structured format for each of the six speaking questions. I don't have that on drive but could forward it to you at a later time.
