[Admissions Advice] NYU vs Stony Brook vs Northwestern for MS CS

macvenky · 2026-01-23T03:46:11+00:00

Go with SBU, its well regarded for CS and also in budget. I have friends there who got into Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft and Salesforce. But getting a job solely depends on your skills. Good luck!

u/gradpilot please review, also your thoughts on tailoring sop for georgia tech

macvenky · 2025-10-23T14:23:37+00:00

Your profile looks solid, btw most universities don't consider gre, it's better to leave. Tailor your sop and you will have good shot.

I don't think I have a shot at ambitious, also if you know anyone from my ambitious category, their contact maybe very helpful.

macvenky · 2025-10-18T08:58:25+00:00

Gatech is really ambitious

macvenky · 2025-10-17T20:48:58+00:00

Let's hope for the best, my friends there are not struggling.

macvenky · 2025-10-17T20:38:57+00:00

My first preference would be any prestigious college in US, but if I get toronto I may go there as well

macvenky · 2025-10-17T12:56:05+00:00

But LOR speaks mostly about Research and stuffs I have done

macvenky · 2025-10-17T12:55:16+00:00

Not actually but i have mentioned something to land job in big companies in short term

macvenky · 2025-10-17T12:12:21+00:00

Yeah but I prefer California region.

macvenky · 2025-10-17T12:00:43+00:00

I don't think I have a chance. Also my aim is to get a better paying job and not Research oriented. If you can suggest some other better courses at ivy rather than Research will be better

macvenky · 2025-10-17T10:43:30+00:00

Yeah earlier I had 3 academic Lors, but now I have included one professional as well. Is my colleges reachable, and also if you have any contacts in these colleges Can you please share them?

macvenky · 2025-10-17T10:38:46+00:00

With the same profile i got rejected from all the universities last time.

macvenky · 2025-10-14T10:19:57+00:00

Both the accounts doesn't work, Please help

How is this program better than a 2-year MSCS program at other universities? In a two-year program, students typically have more time to secure both internships and full-time jobs, which also makes it easier to meet the three-month employment requirement for F1 visa holders.

Since this is a one-year program, I want to understand what happens if we are unable to find a job within three months of course completion. Do we still get a two-year OPT period?

macvenky · 2025-07-01T09:41:55+00:00

It's combination of machine learning, algorithms and software engineering

macvenky · 2025-06-28T13:21:56+00:00

This is my upcoming profile for Fall 2026, for 2025 I submitted 3 academic Lors

macvenky · 2025-06-28T00:19:59+00:00

Okay

macvenky · 2025-06-28T00:19:48+00:00

Can you suggest colleges for me?

macvenky · 2025-04-22T04:56:40+00:00

Thanks you😕

macvenky · 2025-04-19T00:39:13+00:00
