Graduate study in the US for international students?

1 pointmich2 comments

Hi,

I am currently an undergraduate CS student in Europe and would like to do a graduate study in the US. Does anyone have the experience just what it takes to be accepted to the universities there? I am thinking of the more respectable universities of course.

Anything would be very much appreciated.

I am interested in a MS/PhD program. So are these test the most important whether you get accepted to top programs or is it something else? Are perfect grades more important? Or research work / competitions / etc? How difficult is it to get accepted?

it depends what u want to do - MS? MBA? etc. - you need to visit university website and see what they need - you need to be good at writing an essay and good at TOEFL, GRE or GMAT tests.
