Master’s in Business analytics

I applied to a total of 11 universities. I got admission letters from 9 universities: Here is the list: University of Texas at Dallas (UTD): Admitted (selected this) University of Texas at Arlington (UTA): Admitted University of North Texas (UNT): Admitted Cleveland State University: Admitted Northeastern University, Boston (NEU): Admitted PACE University, New York: Admitted (offered scholarship) University of North Carolina Charlotte: Admitted University of Colorado Denver: Admitted University of New Haven, Connecticut: Admitted I got rejected from 2 universities. They are: New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT): Rejected University of South Florida (USF): Rejected I am not sure why I got a rejection from NJIT. It was a safe university for me and many with my profile got admitted. I got admitted to universities much better than NJIT. So I do not have a particular reason nor did I receive any feedback from the university. I believe USF was an ambitious university for my profile. Just applied to try out my luck. It is well ranked and I felt I missed out due to the good, talented pool of candidates. I chose the University of Texas at Dallas for these reasons: Firstly, the program I was in (Information Technology and Management) was under the business school. I wanted to shift my career to the management side of work and felt an MS from business school was the right decision. Secondly, The program was designed to be flexible and easy for students to select their own specialisation and subjects they were interested in. Lot of options for courses for each semester, with one mandatory course out of 12. So I liked the option of choosing more electives and tailoring my MS according to my career aspirations. Thirdly, I wanted a place that does not have harsh winters. So, Texas, with a large Indian community and nice warm weather, was also a point I considered before accepting the admission. Admission Process: Simple and detailed application that needs to be filled with basic details of myself, my educational background and work experience. Degree certificate and transcript are required. Resume is needed as part of the application. GRE scores and English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) are required during application Personal Statement (similar to an SOP) document is needed as part of the application. This outlined my academic interests and future aspirations. 2 Letters of Recommendation required. I got it from HOD and Teacher from my bachelor's. If they need any more information, they will contact you. Also, I applied for a merit scholarship. They processed the application and mailed me an admission letter. After accepting it, we need to request an I-20 with a financial affidavit. After the I-20 is issued and Visa process is done, I registered for International Student Orientation. Also, before landing in the USA, I had to complete pre-arrival modules (4 modules), which had all the basic details that I had to know before joining the university. Eligibility Criteria: GRE is optional for my program but advised to submit if taken. I got 296 in total (Verbal-144, Quantitative-152) and submitted it during the application. An English Proficiency exam is required. I got 8 in IELTS and submitted it during the application. Minimum of 6.5 in IELTS and 80 in TOEFL was required for my program. Overall the admission process was simple, straightforward, and easy to complete. If any clarifications were required, I contacted the university and got all queries cleared in a timely manner. I did not face any difficulties or challenges during the application process. I got an admit around 2 months from application. I advise applying early to increase chances of admission with a scholarship. I applied to the FALL 2022 intake. During Covid, I explored the option of higher studies and took the GRE and IELTS in the last quarter of 2021. I was working during that time. My interest in project management grew during work and explored courses that might help me build a career in the project management domain. So, I decided to apply for the Fall 2022 intake. I took 6 months to prepare for GRE, IELTS and draft all documents required for application process (SOP, Letter of recommendation, Resume etc) I received an admission letter after around 2 months of application. I do not remember the exact day when I applied but approximately I applied around the 1st week of JAN 2022....Read More

I have applied to three universities University of Texas at Dallas CU Denver Texas A&M I got admitted to University of Texas at Dallas and CU Denver I got rejected from Texas a&m I'm not sure about the rejection reason. Each College have their own criteria for selecting their students. Some of them give importance to the undergrad performance while some of them give importance to the GRE/TOEFL scores and work experience. So I'm not pretty sure about the reason for the rejection. Booming placement rates with ties to DFW corporate partners and a lot of tech companies offers internships/jobs. UTD provides a lot of courses of our choice to choose from. The admission process was simple and easy. I filled out all the necessary details in their application portal. I submitted my educational certificates and work certificates(if applicable) to the University. For GRE – 308, TOEFL – 80. These are the required scores. My overall admission experience was easy. I didn't find any challenges during this process. I was able to complete the application with ease I applied for the Fall 2024 term. Starting in the fall gives you a full year to get ready for internships, career fairs, and co?op programs. Since employers recruit interns in early spring, a fall start helps you stand out on campus. My application process was as follows: Application Submitted – Week 1 Confirmation Received – 3 days later Review Period – 6 weeks Admission Offer – Week 7 Deposit & Acceptance – Week 8 The process was simple and easy.  ...Read More
