Selecting University
The biggest challenge is to chose a good University which matches your GRE and TOEFL scores. High GRE score does not means guaranteed admission and low GRE may not means rejection.
Cost:The average cost for 1 year study in US is $8K to $15K so its better to chose those universities which give scholarship, job or assistant ship. I will keep on explaining which university gives more scholarship and jobs.
Ok now how to choose your university:
Here are some tips:
Apply 2 top ranked, 2 middle ranked and 2 low ranked (I am gonna tell how they are ranked).
Ranking is done with various scales like campus, place, cost, teachers and research etc. Low ranking does not mean a bad university, it may be a good university in your specific field.
1st of all I will like to help the people who got less GRE:
you can get admission in good universities even if your GRE score is 900-1000. I heard one student got admit in MIT with 1050 GRE score
Note:You may get admission in many private universities like FDU, St johns but don't go for them. They may admit you but these universities are less effective and have some hidden charges. always go for public (govt.) universities they are cheap and good.
