I have done my bachelor's in information
science and engineering in India. So that
was how my journey began towards the
data science career. I started looking
for programs of masters level in the US.
As an international student, my biggest
concern of coming to UMBC was the entire
admission procedure. So it does not only
start with applying to UMBC. Before that
we have to take the TOEFL the IELTS exam.
So to plan it accordingly, like it is a
one-year time. The day when I landed to
U.S. that was the first day I
realized oh I did everything and then
why was I stressing about it? It's all
just a step-by-step procedure.
The thing the most I love about UMBC is
the various organizations on campus and
how efficiently they make sure that all
of their people who are signing up for
those organizations are coming to those
events and feeling like a part of it.
Being a data science student you would
have great conversations while meeting
new people and that was my best part of
going to different events.
I will never forget the people I have met here.
I am literally very proud of my decision that I took this decision
of coming all by myself here being miles away from my
home I had chosen UMBC, chosen USA all
the way from India thinking that I want
to study that being my most priority. And
it's just a two year's program, so why not?
Why not give it a shot out of my entire
journey?
