@Salil_Singh
I will be joining MCS in ASU this spring 2020. How are the funding opportunities in CS department of ASU. Can you guide me what all I should be doing after joining college in order to secure funding or any kind of on campus job?

What are my chances of getting an admit?

Also I heard that ASU has rolling admits. Approximately how many days after application can I expect a response?

I have a question regarding MSCS and MCS.

Is it possible to change from MSCS to MCS or vice versa when you start the program or before? What is the procedure to do so?

Also, are the subjects and the faculty of the two programs the same?

Hi there. I would like to share my profile- GRE-301, IELTS-7.5, cgpa-6.76. I would like to apply for data science. What are my chances if I write a good SOP/LOR for scholarship? How is California for job opportunities?
Also if you could share your experience for SOP and LOR with us?

Hi, can you also share us the fee for ASU? Also if you applied for a loan. If yes, which bank did you prefer?
