Binghamton University : VIBES

I applied to 4 colleges Binghamton University - Admitted Buffalo University - Admitted Arizona State University - Admitted Florida University - Rejected I received admission from 3 colleges, which were Binghamton University, Buffalo University, Arizona State University Yes, I received rejected from Florida University only Low GRE Score could be the reason for my rejection The most major factor was the tuition fees and housing compared to other cities First collect your scores (GRE, TOEFL), prepare the bachelor's degree mark sheet. prepare statement of purpose, Submit 3 letter of recommendation. Submit Resume Fill out the online admission form, upload the documents and pay the application fee. Above 90 TOEFL score, GRE SCORE above 300, Min GPA 3.0 The experience was very smooth; they had only tracking system and it was easy to track the status. Some challenges were waiting for the letter of recommendation, as it delayed the process. Due to my surname problem in my sheet, I had to get a gazette and upload it. I applied to the Sprint intake at Binghamton University. I had about 2 years of experience already working as a software engineer and I wanted to advance my degree. Moreover, the Machine learning field was on rise and the United States was a perfect destination to learn and apply the latest technology. The class size during Spring intake is smaller compared to Fall Semester so it was easier to pay attention and learn from the professors. For me it took about 2 months. After gathering all my documents, I submitted my application but then came the spring break, which was about 2 weeks so that delayed the process, in the next email i received the confirmation and before the acceptance, I needed to submit my vaccine reports on their portal. It took me around a week to gather all the documents for it. After uploading the document, my acceptance was confirmed. It was smooth....Read More

I am a transfer student from VIT Bangalore. I did the first year of my master's in India then i came here for the second year. I wanted to go for an MS in CS; in order to get the credits transferred, I didn't have any other good options. This was the only reason to choose this university. As I already mentioned, this is a money-looting business done by the VIT, Bangalore. VIT Bangalore has connections with many foreign universities to which students are not going. VIT Bangalore markets this programme as a 1 + 1 overseas programme. This is all fake. They are trapping students in the shittest universities abroad. GRE - not required IELTS 7.5 SAT not required...Read More

I applied to 4 Universities. • University of Texas at Austin (Rejected) • University at Albany (SUNY) (Rejected) • SUNY at Binghamton (Admitted). I chose SUNY at Binghamton • University of North Texas Denton (Admitted) Maybe my bachelor's was in Electronics and Telecommunication and had an average score; the first two rejected my application, UNT chose to offer me Computer Engineering, and SUNY at Binghamton offered me an MS in CS major. It has a good ranking among SUNY campuses and on the east coast. Plus affordable living and competitive courses. I had to get Transcripts, reach out to professors for LORs, draft multiple SOP, appear for GRE and TOEFL, pay the application fees, Once admitted, appear for a VISA interview. Minimum scores (GRE: It was waived off due to COVID; TOEFL: 79) Admission process is quite lengthy. Draughting SOP was a task. I resigned from my job in May 2021. I first applied for a fall 2021 intake but deferred it to Spring 2022 due to less VISA interview appointments. Fall is an ideal semester to start a master's (but it depends on the person) considering the job market scenario and graduation ending and OPT/CPT ending time. I applied 3-4 months before the fall semester in March-April 2021....Read More

I applied for the following universities: State University of New York, Binghamton Virginia Tech, Blacksburg Rutgers University University of Florida Northeastern University, Boston Clemson University Arizona State University University of Michigan Dearborn New Jersey Institute of Technology University at Buffalo Accepted: State University of New York, Binghamton Virginia Tech, Blacksburg Rutgers University Clemson University Arizona State University University of Michigan Dearborn New Jersey Institute of Technology University at Buffalo Rejected: Northeastern University, Boston University of Florida Reason: I think, based on my previous professional experiences and the course being more technical towards design and manufacturing and my SOP being more towards engineering management, might be the reason for rejection I chose Binghamton because of its affordable tuition, research opportunities, and the chance to work with companies through the WISE Research Project Assistantship (RPA)—which offers tuition waivers and a stipend. Moreover, the courses that they offer were a perfect balance of technical and management aspects in the industrial domain. Admission Process: Strong SOP (aligned with the programme which I wanted to pursue) Strong LOR (2 Professional and 1 Academic) IELTS (minimum 6.5) Overall, the experience for me was very smooth, as I followed the steps that were mentioned on the website and also met a representative who visited Mumbai to clear some doubts I had. Also, the university and professors were promptly replying to the queries that I had during the process. I applied for the Fall 2024 intake. I wanted to work in the industry for a few years before my master's to deepen my knowledge and figure out my specialisation. I had prepared myself by working in healthcare, manufacturing medical devices and then later joined fortune 500 in operations. These all helped and influenced my decision that I want to explore more in the industrial domain. I started my preparation in May 2023, took my IELTS in June 2023 prepared my SOP, LOR, and was done with my application by 1st January 2024. I received all admits around end of February...Read More

1. SUNY Binghamton ( Offer) 2 NYIT (Offer) 3. Ohio University (offer) 4 Rutgers University (offer) 5. Pace University (offer) 6. NJIT (rejected) 7 Ohio State University (rejected) 8. Massachusetts Institute of technology (offer) (but not CS program) In my opinion i was too late to submit application for NJIT and for ohio state University , somehow my documents were not getting approved so every week there was some new update regarding documentation, but at other universities it got approved , not sure about OSU. My preference was to study in East coast which has lot of good university And New York was one of the states that i want to study in. SUNY binghamton is top public university . The computer science program of the university is ranked among the top. I had research opportunities here even before starting the university , i had talked to the professors here about my interests and my work , so they offered me research assistant under them which is helping me a lot in terms of learning , personal growth , professional growth as well as finances. Admission process was quite easy , you have to fill application through their portal. You have to submit some documents which almost every university asks. Overall the process was very smooth and it hardly took them 2 weeks to give me a offer letter and complete every documentation. I have given IELTS and GRE both , so i guess eligibility criteria must be any language proficiency Exam (ielts , toefl etc) + a Good GRE score will help you get desired branch . Min Ielts score : 6.5+ Gre : 300+ Overall admission process after coming here was also very smooth. They emailed me where to exactly come and when you reach on the very first day , the people there who are responsible for some documentation really help you a lot in finding ways, whats steps are there and everything from start to end . So this was something i liked the most. It again the same question which i answered previously. I applied to Fall 2024 i take. as i said it took 2 weeks for the university to offer me admission. I applied in early Feb and received admissions in just 14-17 days. The classes usually starts in Mid August for fall batches and mid January for spring batches. The deadline for fall batch is May and not sure about spring...Read More

Reason to choose this particular college : Binghamton University has a very big name on the East Coast, especially for CS, with a good reputation and IBM history. Had really good courses that aligned perfectly with my goals and visions. The living expenses are reasonable compared to other areas, and they have really good alumni connections.

All official documents were considered, and then I got the decision in 2 weeks. Eligibility Criteria : Relevant courses to your master's programme have to be done in your bachelor's, or a related degree should be there. GRE scores, if available (at the time of my admission, the GRE was waived), TOEFL/IELTS scores, and an official transcript with a good GPA. A minimum TOEFL score of 90 should be there for better chances of getting admitted. Overall Admission Experience : Very smooth and straightforward, faced no challenges, got a timely decision, and the team was giving quick responses for all my queries. Better than any college I applied to. Fall 2024 intake because it's the bigger intake, and I was ready to take this step. The admission process for this university takes up to a month or so, but I got the decision in around 2 weeks. Spring is also good, but since everything worked out pretty well for me, I decided to go with the fall intake only. Also I got suggested by the seniors and peers too for the same....Read More

State University of New York at Binghamton (Admitted), North Carolina State University (Admitted), University of Delaware (Admitted), University of Bridgeport (Admitted), UIUC (Rejected) I Confirmed my admission for Binghamton University. I got rejected by UIUC because I didn't give GRE, instead I choose to give IELTS another reason would be my cumulative GPA was 3.54 and they may have higher expectation. My university is ranked 73 nationally, in addition to its graduation percentage of 82%, acceptance rate of 42% and tuition fee and cost of living is less compared to other universities with similar reputation. Also found courses and specifications relevant to my internet. I also got an option to get credits by doing an internship. Also got positive reviews from my seniors who graduated or are still studying in this University. I applied for the fall 2024 intake which is considered the best intake when majority of students come. Reason - most of the courses are open during that semester, can do upcoming summer internship, will graduate by may which is prime time for hiring students, whether it is good and easy to get an apartment for rent. It took me around 3 months to complete my admission process, started my application around Jan start and got acceptance by Feb end and accepted it by March end 2024....Read More
