Please help me guys!!!

Hello everyone, My name is Yash Chaudhari, and I am exploring graduate programs in computer science from USA , specializing in machine learning and deep learning. I'm quite confused regarding choosing universities. Could you please provide details on best universities selection for master's programs in computer science, focusing on machine learning and deep learning, for international students? Also I'm keen to learn about application deadlines, best intake, required documents, and specific admission criteria. Last but not least, can anyone also tell me that, Does this intake really matters?!! Or it just a myth set by fews.. Because some of the people said that if you apply in spring rather than fall intake then they will not provide you any scholarship and also the internship opportunities are also less. What's your thought regarding it. Thank you for your time and assistance. Warm regards, Yash
