Application for Fall 2012 with Financial aid

[arindam_das_1990]

Hi guys,

I joined this forum very recently (a few minutes back infact). I am looking for some specific information. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with that.

I am a prospective applicant for MS CS program for fall '12. I have sent out my applications to 11 universities. I have received admission from 3 universities so far - Clemson (No aid - final decision about aid in Apr-May), RIT (USD 14k merit scholarship) and UTA (No aid - final decision about aid in Apr-May). I am however planning to apply to another university where the chances of getting funding is substantial (I read that U of Houston offered instate fees to a MS applicant from India for Spring '12). So I was wondering if you could help me with a few more names as financial aid is very critical for my MS aspirations. I don't mind doing it from a Tier-II university as I plan to do my PhD from a better place if that is the case.

Here's a brief on my profile -
