Hello, mates!

i'm an Informatics undergraduate student at the University of Economics, Varna, Bulgaria.

I'm searching for an appropriate Masters degree program suitable for me.

- I have a 85% average ( 5.10 / 6 )

- 110/120 TOEFL iBT

- MCTS certificates (two) ..... 4 small certificas for completing each CCNA course ( not the actual big CCNA certificate )... several diplomas for winning certain Informatics competitions ( they are local ).

- I have no international research. Won 3 out of 4 years the local "students research activities day" ( totally useless i guess )

- During the 4 years of full Bachelor study i've been working 2 years as a Network Administrator and 2 years as a .NET developer

- i think i can write a strong SoP

- i think i can get 2-3 LoR from not well-known professors ( there are NO well-known bulgarian CS professors )

I have NO intention in teaching or doing acaemic reasearch for now.

Can you please suggest an appropriate grad program for me ? I'm thinking about Oxford or Cambridge .... but sometimes i think i'm overestimating myself A LOT .

Regards.
