University Selection – Your Second Home
While selecting universities for you we consider factors like location,
cost, reputation, competitiveness, and whether the school is public or
private. We discuss short listed universities with you and your parents.
After your consent we start application for the universities. We don't
try to match you to the school, but rather find the school that matches
you and your priorities and long-term goals. Remember that no official
ranking system exists for colleges and universities in the United
States. The best college or university is the one that is best for you
and meets your requirements—academic, financial, and personal.
For grad students, the academic experience is paramount, and your career
goals will impact what you look for in a program. If you want a master's
degree to give you that professional edge, then the overall quality of
the faculty may be more important than finding the ideal mentor. If you
are aiming for a PhD, however, finding a specific professor to serve as
your thesis advisor trumps the talents of the faculty at large. Apply to
schools that have one or more professors who do research in your general
area of interest, and with whom you can imagine working closely for a
year (or six).
