Here's a brief overview of my experience so far: I studied marketing communication at a top 25 undergraduate university in the U.S., graduated in 2015 with a 3.53 GPA. Interned at a variety of companies during my four years at university. Worked at a well-known digital advertising agency based in New York for a year. Helped sell in and lead projects that were worth upwards of $100,000, youngest junior copywriter at the company, promoted up to the youngest copywriter as well. I'm an international undergraduate student with a non-STEM degree –– which meant I only had one shot at the H-1B lottery this year. I wasn't picked. Had to pack my bags and head home. I'm currently looking at graduate school as a way to come back, and to pivot into a more technical field. While picking universities, I've looked for STEM master's degrees (the STEM categorization isn't as strict as you'd assume it to be) + a program that's ideally more skill-based so it's worth my $ and gives me a better shot at finding a company willing to sponsor my H-1B. I scored a 333 on the GRE (Q: 167, V: 166, AWA: 5.5), taking the TOEFL soon for two programs on my list that wouldn't waive the TOEFL despite studying in the U.S. –– but I expect that to go well (I got 117/120 about 5 years ago) I'm getting three recommendation letters –– one from a highly-reputed professor at my university, two from people at the agency I worked at (the creative director and the senior copywriter I worked with) These are the 9 programs I've picked based on people I've talked to: Master of Computers and Information Tech at UPenn MS in Computer Science with Immersion at UChicago MS in Computer Science w/ the PAC Prep Course at NYU MS in Human Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon MS in Human Computer Interaction at UMichigan MS in Human Computer Interaction at Georgia Tech MS in Business Analytics at USC MS in Integrated Digital Media at NYU MS in Integrated Innovation at Carnegie Mellon Are there other programs that I should be looking at with my profile? Is there anything else I'm missing that I ought to focus on for my applications? Any advice at all would be super-useful.
