Say you have a 4.0 GPA in your undergraduate Computer Engineering degree in from Kathmandu University, 85.5% PCM score from St Xavier’s College, near perfect score in GRE and TOEFL and outstanding recommendation letters. You would like to pursue your MS degree at a renowned US university that offers full tuition assistantship/fellowship/scholarship with a stipend (you deserve it after all). But you have no idea how to start the search for these ‘right’ colleges in US. To those who have been successful in receiving such financial aid for graduate studies, how did you go about identifying your current university? Can you share your experiences?
