  • Dislikes:
  • Nothing as such because I was there during covid

I chose the University of Southern California (USC) for my MS in Computer Science due to its outstanding reputation and the comprehensive, cutting-edge curriculum it offers. USC is renowned for its strong emphasis on research and innovation, providing access to world-class faculty and state-of-the-art facilities. The factors that drove me to accept the offer include the university's robust industry connections and the vibrant tech community in Los Angeles, which offers excellent internship and job opportunities. Additionally, USC's diverse and inclusive environment, along with its extensive alumni network, ensures a supportive and enriching experience. My overall experience at USC has been exceptional. The collaborative atmosphere, coupled with ample resources and extracurricular opportunities, has significantly enhanced my academic and personal growth. Choosing USC for my MS in Computer Science has proven to be a pivotal decision, aligning perfectly with my career aspirations and providing a solid foundation for my future endeavors.

  • Dislikes:
  • I didn't like the placement of the university.,
  • If you really need a job you have to search for it yourself.,
  • Every student can relate that placements promised to us during the admission time are not really fulfilled.

I liked the program of ms in computer science and I thought that it would be a better career option that I had decided to step into. Our university also helps in making connections which is a skill that I needed to develop. Overall my college experience was great. Faculty members are helpful and always ready to support us. I'm quite disappointed about the placement but overall a great learning experience.

  • Dislikes:
  • Fees could be a bit on a lower side, the amount of credits which I take from the other schools are restricted like for ex. I need to take 16 units from Viterbi then I can take rest of them from other.

For admission I required SOP, LOR’s, CV. I mostly focused on demonstrating my past experiences and how did it align with my future program aspirations. One of the top colleges for MEM, Engineering department ranked amongst one of the top in the nation, program structure and flexibility for ex. I can take courses from Business School. It’s great overall. Good campus life with reasonable chances of getting part time job, good infrastructure facilities for recreational activities and enough libraries to make sure we study right before the exams

  • Dislikes:
  • I think the university is in a not so good area. There are regular petty crimes but that's the in general state of the USA. Other things include lesser meal options for vegetarian but that's again the in general state of the USA

"I think the key in general is to ask the professors under whom you have worked to write a recommendation letter so that they can relate and write exactly what you did for LORs. For SOPs I think dictating your like and showcasing the skills required and core values of the universities to your profile makes a lot of difference. I had made it to the final round of Dartmouth just based on making my profile align with the uni values. CV: should be professional one with college and professional work properly filled. " "USC, the main reason was the tag of MEMPC for my program and it's reputation, and the second reason was the flexibility of the course to go through marshall school of business to pick and choose my course. Other factors included the location and weather as well. " I like the overall experience of the university. There's so much to learn, live and experience. It's thrill for sure can be stressful but at the same exciting to learn how to make your own path.

academic: 8/10
faculty: 9/10
infrastructure: 10/10
accomodation: 8/10
placement: 8/10

Submitted a CV, 3 LORs and an SOP. Be sure to highlight your academic abilities and mention why you align with the program and course offerings. Alumni Network, Location, Access to cross program facilities. Great infrastructure, amazing network of people, decent on campus opportunities to supplement your expenses, overall an expensive journey, but one that you'll enjoy. Has the same ups and downs, stress and laughter of a college.

no interview required Location and the course curriculum California is the main tech hub in USA and course is designed such that we have choices to pursue the minor like Data science. Overall it is a great experience to be here at usc. Good peopel around, great networking opportunities and cool places to visit nearby

academic: 10/10
faculty: 9/10
infrastructure: 10/10

placement: 8/10

  • Dislikes:
  • Tuition cost, living expenses, poor student to faculty ratio, lake of job opportunities for international students, contrasting course curriculum, large intake of CS students when compared to limited resources, decline in quality of research

USC is great but costly. The campus and intake is large; hence there is good competition for the oncampus jobs. Weather is good, but living in LA is costly. Students find it very difficult to make personal bondings with the faculties. Research opportunities are vast. Overall, USC stands out in few departments like Cinematic arts, Civil Engineering, Health Science.

Silicon valley is the global technology hub and many notable companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, Cisco, PayPal are headquartered there. It is also the home for thousands of startups. I wanted to be part of these tech giants in Silicon valley. After chatting with friends and relatives in united states, I got a strong feeling that studying in California might have a slight advantage in terms of job prospects and so was in search for admissions in the top universities in California. University of Southern California(from here on referred as USC) is well reputed and is one of the top private universities in California. USC has a good ranking in Computer Science. It also has great alumni network.

USC has a very good name and ranks in Computer Science and it is very well recognized in the job market as well. The location of USC is also very good for getting placed into good companies.

university of southern California is among the top universities for its computer science program so it became an obvious choice for me. It has renowned faculty, a great curriculum, and is located in the city which is beneficial in terms of networking. Located in California, companies find it easier to interview students and also make it easier for students to find jobs.

GRE qualification is not mandatory to apply and get admission in the MS Pharmaceutical Sciences program at the University of Southern California. However, it is mandatory for all international students with English as a secondary language to submit a valid ELP test score to prove their proficiency in English language.

The University of Southern California does not accept Duolingo as one of its ELP tests required for international admission. The university accepts various ELP tests such as IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, etc.
