Student from Kent State

I applied in multiple colleges before I got into Kent State University: University of Alabama at Birmingham (Admitted) Oregon State University (Rejected) The University of Dayton (Admitted) Kent State University (Admitted) George Mason University (Rejected) San Francisco University (Admitted) Drexel University (Admitted) I applied for 7 universities from which I got selected in 5 universities and got rejected in 2, maybe they don't find me a good fit for their program. I chose this university because of its ranking, it is a public university, was getting the course I wanted, and also it was cheaper compared to my other admits . The most popular intake, offering the widest range of courses and scholarships is the fall intake (August) .The process will take nearly a year including the visa process if you want to apply for fall 2025 then you should start by Nov 2024 and should take the exam by Oct or Sep.You should apply for the admission process by early Nov or Dec while preparing for the exam you should ready your documents as well....Read More

I applied to 5 universities- San Diego State University(SDSU), Kent State University(KSU), University of North Texas(UNT), Northeastern University(NEU), State University of New York(SUNY) at Buffalo. I have received admits from SDSU, KSU, NEU, SUNY I was rejected for UNT with a deferred admission to the Spring semester due to class load. I guess I could have secured an admission for the following semester. I chose Kent State University over other universities because of the slow and serene atmosphere the University provides which I thought will be better for my Masters. Additionally, I connected with the Professors before and discussed the coursework. Steps involved: I had to submit 3 letters of recommendation along with a Graduate Resume, SOP, Marksheet of Undergraduation, and proof of funds. IELTS - Mandatory (with a minimum score of 6.5) GRE- Not mandatory Overall the experience was smooth with quick responses and good support from the department. I applied for the fall 2023 intake because i was keen on starting my Masters during the big intake. Also the courses offered during the first semester were available only in Fall therefore I was keen on joining the fall semester. I applied to the University during January 2023 and got confirmation of acceptance on April 30th 2023. So it took almost 3 months for the acceptance letter. After this, i20 took about 3 weeks....Read More

Applied to three colleges. Kent state university - Admitted University of Cincinnati - Rejected University of Maryland, Baltimore county - Waitlisted I believe that it's possibly because of the low GRE score which is 303. Could improve my IELTS score as well which is 7. I think that I should've applied sooner than what I did as people get admitted on a rolling basis. The sooner, the better. Suggestions from a friend led me to choose this college. Submission of the exams (GRE and IELTS) scores. Get the letter of recommendations either from professors or colleagues and prepare a statement of purpose and upload them in the university profile. Gre and IELTS or TOEFL or Duolingo (For MS in CS). GRE - 300+ IELTS - 6.5+ The process is smooth. I applied to Fall intake. I thought that I'd stand a chance to get a Summer internship. It took around a month and a half from the application to acceptance. For application to process, we need to have all the documents (SOP, LOR and exam scores) which will take about a couple of months to refine them. After application submission, it goes through several stages which we can see in the college portal. We'll get updates every now and then. The status of it was revealed in a month or so.  ...Read More
