Hello everyone, I am actually at a complicated situation at the moment, and hope any of you may give some advice on further graduate schools application. I got an offer from a very good reputable University in Asia (Top #20 in University World Rank ) for a MS degree and am thinking if I may use this reference to apply those top graduate schools in USA. I plan to drop out from the Asian University in Spring 2014 once the schools in USA give me admission offer for 2014 Fall. However, I'm not sure if the US admission office may think that I am inconsistent for my academic goals and may ask why I do not take up the degree. My Brief background: Graduated from a state University in USA with GPA 3.X Research exp with professor and presented in national research conference working at Big 4 firm for 1 year and previously had about 10 months working at Fortune # 500 company My questions are: 1. Will this reference benefit or jeopardize my application? 2. How do I explain to the admission offices in US Grad schools? 3. What will be a good reason to drop out rather saying "I want to go to USA, so I drop out. 4. Do you think I should list Master Degree as "In Progress" on my resume for application? I'm worried it may confuses the US, and they may ask for the diploma and transcripts. 5. Any other advice? Please comment. Thanks a lot !!!
