Thanks for your inputs Mahaveer!

Thanks! And oh, got a Texas A&M admit this morning. Now I'm not really sure what to do, 'cause A&M has a big advantage as far as costs are concerned. Any opinions?

Oh is there a huge gap in perception of quality? I thought they were pretty much comparable... And nope, no mention of funding yet.

Hello people, Would anybody like to help me out with his/her opinions on this topic? Any comments/suggestions on which of the 2 schools is stronger in the field of computer architecture/vlsi would be most welcome! FYI, I have been admitted to the MS program in both these schools and will be looking at the prospects of a job after completion, rather than pursuing a Phd (that's the plan, at least ) Thanks!

Really appreciate your quick response! You've helped me clear a lot of doubts!

Thank you very much, newms! I had a few more questions: My UG institution in India is one of the top schools in the country. Hence, I'm not wasting any space in my SoP to mention that fact. However, would it be advisable to mention it in one line somewhere? Will the adcomm be well aware of college standards in foreign countries?My SoP sounds a bit too factual and "robotic", but I think I've explained my work along with my future plans reasonably well. Do I need to jazz it up a bit to make it sound interesting? Or is a fact based professional approach the way to go?Should I mention my awards/class rank in my SoP or is it enough to have it on my CV? I don't wish to repeat the same things in the SoP and am just focusing on my past exp and plans for future study. Is that ok? Or would you suggest some other way? Would love to hear your view on this. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm in the process of writing my SoP and I had a doubt. How technical should I get while describing my research projects and internships? A paragraph about each one with a reasonable level of tech jargon is acceptable, right? I'm assuming that the evaluators of my SoP will be experts in my field and won't have any difficulty in understanding my work. Is this a reasonable assumption? I had another question: is it necessary to go into specifics (such as proposing a thesis topic) when I'm applying for a Master's degree? Or is a general overview of my future plans enough? I apologize for this incessant questioning, but it would be great if some of you could respond! Thanks!

Oh come on! Seriously? No replies? Show some kindness. Guide my poor soul. For it is lost. Very, very lost.

Hello, I've been admitted to the ECE departments of The University of Minnesota- Twin Cities and The Ohio State University (for their Master's program) My area of specialization is Wireless Communications. I've been through the websites of both these schools and have found that I like UMN better. However, apparently, there's not much to choose between the two in terms of rankings (USNEWS-both placed 20th). I'd be grateful for some comments and opinions regarding this issue. I'm not sure which one I should go for. To be honest, I haven't got too many great admits (to my dismay; thought I could do better) and am contemplating these two. Are the rankings accurate? Is there much to choose between, say, UMN,UWisc-Madison,OSU, TAMU, UT Austin? I'm sorry if this post sounds like I'm rambling about nothing, but I need some answers. Thanks
