Which University should I go for?

Question

Admits in US - UMD ( MPS Data science, sadly non-STEM :/)  
  Indiana University, Bloomington  
  SUNY, Buffalo  
    
  Admit in Ireland - Trinity College Dublin (MSc CS with specialization in Data Science)  
    
  Still waiting for TAMU and UCI.   
    
  I should be starting with my i20 and visa process soon. Would be grateful for any suggestions :)

Hi,

IUB MS DS is a clear winner. Great program in fact one of the best ones out there. Fantastic professors and courses. Academically very strong compared to other schools you mentioned. You can take electives from Kelly Business School in IUB which is one of the best Business shools in USA. IUBs reputation and alumni network is also strong. Location tho is not good however location has taken a back seat due to covid so its not a important factor anymore.

Location:
Location is not an important factor since interviews and jobs are completely remote.

Reputation:
IUB DS is a clear winner here without a doubt. With better rankings and graduate employability. CU Boulder MS DS is a new program launched recently.

Tuition:
Again IUB will be more affordable.

TAMU MS DS again aint as matured as IUB MS DS. Its still kinda a new program but with a lot of potential. Avoid MPS and non STEM degrees.

My suggestion will be to go for IUBs Data Science because of its reputation and quality coursework and professors.

For more information please go through the following resources:

For DS it has to be IUB and nothing else

I would strongly recommend not to choose a non-STEM course. All your admits are good and decide between US and Ireland and you can't go wrong with both.

I would recommend Suny Buffalo because of course length of 1 year considering you got admit of MS ES DS or MPS DS
