I have just completed a 15 Months cycle of my application process to US Universities. When I started some 1.5 years ago, I had very little knowledge of the entire process. Like everyone, I had to get bits and pieces of everything by searching things on internet. What I missed sometimes was a 'one point reference' of everything where I could have the bird's eye view of the entire process and specific details too.

I had some 2-3 days to spare and I thought that I'll document the entire process so that it can help a few MS aspirants trying for Universities in USA.

Since I am from Uttar Pradesh Technical University (UPTU), I'll make special references/note to specific processes for UPTU students.

I have divided the entire exercise into 6 phases. Various phases are described in detail below:

• General Information (About the process and timelines for fall and spring semesters)
• Phase-I     GRE and TOEFL Exams. Their format and preparation guide.
• Phase-II    Various Documents required (Statement of Purpose, Letters of Recommendations, Transcripts etc.)
• Phase-III   The application process (Identifying the universities and application tips and tricks.)
• Phase-IV    Post results decisions. Choosing the University to go for.
• Phase-V     All about the Visa Preparations.
• Phase-VI    Pre-departure formalities and shopping lists etc.
