Which Intake is Better?

Fall: Fall semester starts in late August and ends in early December.
Spring: Spring semester begins in January and ends in early May.
I would say Fall. Well in a nutshell I will outline 3 important reasons to join in Fall semester.1. The number of courses offered are more during Fall than in Spring.

2. To apply for internship outside college, one needs to be enrolled in the university for a mininum of 9 months. This is a problem as most of the internships open up during summer and the Spring admit will have face a disadvantage here. Also most on-campus jobs like TA & RA positions are also open during Fall and by Spring most students will have already filled in for the position.
3. For anyone who wants to be involved in the University activities, Fall intake would be a more suitable option especially if the student is keen on winning a prestigious position within the organization. This is because the new leaders are always elected at the end of the spring semester, by joining in the spring semester you will not have enough time to show your true potential.

What you need for Masters Program in US

Students who want to do masters in US need to start the process one year ahead as it gives a chance to increase your test scores and also financial aid from the university.

By writing the test one year ahead gives an opportunity to re-attempt if one gets less score.

Live and Learn!

Looking for studying abroad? Consider USA! As a former UGrad student I can vouch for the academic quality of the Universities there. The rich cultural experience, the plethora of options, and the classroom experience are none like you have seen before. For masters I can say it only gets better. 

I know you have already heard about the various pros and cons of studying abroad like the value the degree holds, the experience and networking opportunities but with very little focus on personal growth. I, for one can tell you this is THE most important gain.

America being the “Melting Pot” is the perfect place to learn about various cultures and ethnicities. All racial stereotypes and prejudices you have been holding are soon ‘unlearnt’. You get to meet new people from around the world, join them in their activities, and be a part of their community (temporarily at least). Respect and tolerance for others increases.

What you learn may not be tangible but it stays with you forever. Opening yourself to the world is the best way to learn, not just about others but about yourself as well. If you haven’t made up your mind yet, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. Grab your passport, pack your luggage and get going already!
