Education and Career Forum

Hi, my GRE score is 295 (Verbal-141, Quants-151, Analytical-3).
TOEFL score is 81 (Read-20, Listening-21, Speaking-20, Write-20).
My academics is B.Tech with 75%(no backlogs or history)
Then I have presented papers and published a paper in an International Journal. I have confusion that for which country I can apply US or Canada for doing MS?

I suggest you to choose USA, because in USA, there are many universities, which are offering good quality of education and even the students who have completed their courses in American universities can find many job opportunities. But, when we compare the cost of education, you can pursue MS in Canada universities with very low fee, when compared with American universities. So, you have to weigh between various factors like cost of education, Job Prospects and quality of education. By considering all these factors, you have to make a final decision.

You have decent GRE and TOEFL score as well as good academic background. Apart from these, you also have presented and published papers in International Journal which will definitely be a plus point during the selection for the admission of overseas students in universities of USA and Canada. You can get good universities to pursue MS degree with the profile which you possess. So there is no need to worry, go for the country in which you like to study. You should take the decision after analyzing the below mentioned points.

- You should always go for the better ranked university. So choose from the options and decide accordingly rather than going by the country.
- Take into account the financial expense of studying in the concerned university in both the countries and decide accordingly.

Note :- There is more scope in USA than in Canada. However, if you get admission call from a better ranked Canadian University than US University, you should give preference to the Canadian University. If you want to choose the country to apply for its universities, then you should give more preference to the US universities but keep the top universities of Canada also as option.
