Proud Sun Devil at ASU

I was fascinated by the geological location of Arizona, as it is geologically rich in heritage and culture, and also shares many adjacent states that I am more inclined towards on an exploration standpoint (California, Utah, New Mexico, and Nevada). University rating, campus architecture, climatic conditions similar to India, cowboy culture..etc.  I had to show an IELTS score of 7.5; the GRE wasn't a requirement at the time of my admission....Read More

I chose Arizona State University primarily because of its strong reputation in engineering, software systems, and applied research, along with its focus on innovation and industry collaboration. ASU’s emphasis on project-based learning, modern tech stacks, and real-world problem solving aligned well with my goal of becoming a strong software engineer. The admission process was transparent and merit-based, and the program structure allowed flexibility to explore areas like software architecture, data engineering, cloud computing, and semantic technologies. Overall, my experience at ASU has been challenging, rewarding, and growth-oriented. The academic rigor, combined with research exposure and team-based projects, has significantly strengthened both my technical and professional skills. My Scores: GRE 320/340 TOEFL 106/120 ...Read More

I applied to 4 colleges. I got 3 accepts and 1 reject. Acceptances are from Arizona State University, SUNY Buffalo, and the University of North Texas. The only Reject is Northeastern University. Maybe my resume was lacking work experience at that time and that is a top-tier university expecting higher grades than what I secured from my bachelor's. So I guess those are the few reasons. Ranking and academic reputation of the course I was enrolled, Course Curriculum, Tuition fee, and the cost of living – these are a few of the factors that influenced my decision. I have applied on my own through their website and later sent my GRE, IELTS test scores. LORs are uploaded by my professors through the link they got by email. Accepted exams are GRE, IELTS/TOEFL. Min scores are GRE - 305+, IELTS - 6.5 and above band and good academic grades in bachelor's. Overall admission experience is smooth and no challenges are faced. I applied to the Fall 2022 intake. Ranking and academic reputation of the course I was enrolled, Course Curriculum, Tuition fee, and the cost of living – these are a few of the factors that influenced my decision. The admission process nearly took one month from application to acceptance. I applied on my own through their website and later sent my GRE, IELTS test scores.

I had applied to these five master's programmes in various universities: Arizona State University, University of Illinois Chicago, Northeastern University, University of Southern California, and New York University. Fortunate to have gained admission to all, I picked ASU because of its strength in biomedical engineering research, flexible coursework options, and great potential for opportunities at the Biodesign Institute. I chose ASU because its biomedical engineering programme very closely correlates with my interests in biomaterials and medical devices. ASU impressed me most with the flexible curriculum, research at the Biodesign Institute, and support from faculty. The admission process-state of the art! – was smooth and transparent. I submitted my application along with transcripts, SOP, resume, and recommendation letters; a few weeks after that, I received an admit. Largely, most master's programmes require an average GPA of about 3.0/4.0, as well as scores for English proficiency tests, such as TOEFL iBT-80+ or IELTS 6.5, and for many engineering subjects, the GRE is optional. All in all, the graduate admission was mostly smooth, the main issue being just collecting all the docs on time. The best part: ASU communicated with me clearly and efficiently throughout. I chose the Fall intake mostly because of the broader offerings and that it is the preferred choice of most master’s students due to the recognisable course and research opportunities offered. During the month of November to early December, I was in the process of applying. I received my application result in a span of 5 to 7 weeks. Furthermore, I was immediately accepted. My acceptance letter reached me at the conclusion of January and gave me enough time to get my funds, fill out visa forms, and move to the U.S. From the time my application was submitted to admission, the procedures were executed promptly and without any hitches....Read More

I applied for the following universities: DePaul University: Admitted Kingston University: Admitted Arizona State University: Admitted I was fortunate to receive admissions from institutions like DePaul University, Kingston University, and Arizona State University—where I ultimately confirmed my admission—there were a few universities that did not accept my application because of the Spring intake! Most of the universities accepted Fall intake! Hence the rejection! It was like an American dream! Since childhood I always wanted to study abroad once in my lifetime! I wanted to get into ASU as it closely aligned with my academic interests and career goals. Admission process was smooth! It was a bit tricky to understand the student portal and to navigate through since I was back in India! After asking seniors and taking help, I was able to figure out the portal and then paid the fees with the help of my bank manager! It was very straightforward. The eligibility criteria: I gave IELTS with a band score of 7, and due to covid, the GRE was waived off! Spring Intake 2023: I was working full time and needed an experience of 1.5 or 2 years before coming to study abroad! Since experience helps a bit! The admission process took around two months, including receiving the admit letter and completing all the required formalities. First, I received the offer letter, and then I began exploring different banks for an education loan—comparing interest rates and doing thorough research. After evaluating my options, I decided to proceed with ICICI Bank. I then submitted all the necessary documents and detailed information required by both the bank and ASU. Overall, it took approximately two months to complete the entire process....Read More
