Please evaluate my profile for an MS program.
I have an undergraduate GPA of 3.0/4.0 in Computer Science. I have completed two six-month internships, one in computer science and the other in environmental engineering. I want to pursue a master’s in computer science from a top university. In school, I was a state-level volleyball player and a writer for a renowned local newspaper. I also participated in various extracurricular activities, including karate. I will be taking the GRE next month. What are the best universities I can aim for? I am open to studying in any country.
I would suggest consider state wise, as you want to pursue computer science, I believe California, Arizona, Florida will be good states, as these states are buzzing with IT sector companies, especially California. although, its a little bit expensive, there are a good chance of networking, and getting opportunities. Northeaster in Boston has a good Co-Op Program, that will help you with getting good opportunities and full-time positions.
If your GRE is above 320, and IELTS is around 7.5 and more, you can get into top 50 Universities in USA mostly.
Selecting an university for masters depends on multiple factors. The main factor to consider here is the tuition fee. If you are strong enough financially go for the top universities. As per your profile your GPA is comparatively low to get into the top picks. As I am doing my masters in the USA I would suggest you for the masters in the moderate universities in New York and California which gives you best internship and co-op opportunities.
