Hi all, A friend of mine is applying for MS in CS degree. He has right now 1) 1.5 year of work experience ( will be 2 by the time he joins a university). 2) Undergrad from BITS Pilani(Electrical engineering), and cgpa of 7.1 He is aiming to apply to 5 universities. (2 ambitious, 2 moderate, 1 safe) So far we have listed 3 universities 1. Texas A&M ( ambitious) 2. NCSU ( ambitious) 3. UT Dallas( moderate) Looking for one moderate and one safe university. Would be grateful, if someone can provide suggestions. Also, please don't ask to not to apply to US universities.

Please don't apply to US universities.
Explore some slightly obscure program in a good University - like MISM at CMU, etc. Or try to join a univ near mega job centres - California, New York etc.
UT Dallas is a safe bet. NCSU is a moderate. They give tons of admits but good program. USC could be a moderate choice.
no chance with usc with a 7.1 cgpa. they need toppers
What do you think about UCSD and U Florida?
