for an IT profile, admission to above institutes need a very gud score. say something 740. but thats not sure. it all depends on the application & PI in the end.

also, its tuf coz during recession, B-schools have a increasedsurge in applications they recieve.

To answer your question about US budgets, it will be much higher if you are targetting tier I and II schools. You are currently looking at 1 year options. In the US, the time you spend in campus doubles and so does the expense (not in the same proportion, though).

However, the silver lining is that you don't have to finance it all from your own pocket. You can avail of the financial assistance schemes (loans, scholarships, teaching/research assistance) to bridge the funding gap.
