Hey Abhinash

What is the GRE cutoff for Minnesota …I am looking for masters in Mechanical…any input will be valuable…thanks…asking for a friend, she couldnt attend the session

Hi! Can you tell us the diffenrece between the MCS and MSCS programs? Is one more prestigious or challenging than the other? Do job recruiters prefer students from one program over other? In UCI, both MCS and MSCS programs have the same total credits, but the MCS program is only 5 sems long, which is shorter than the MSCS program. How’s this work?
Also, do you know if Minnesota considers MSCS rejects automatically for MCS program?
Thanks.
