Our observations

• Though this is one of the most sought after branches, it still remains one of the evergreen fields, and has been relatively insulated from the effects of a recessionary economy.
  
• A decent academic record and an average GRE score will ensure admission to a decent University
  
• However the top twenty requires something special, like an excellent project , a paper etc.
  
• Assistantship is almost guaranteed to most of the top 100 Universities, but arranging telephonic interviews with professors from your department is strongly recommended if you want to leave the country with a financial Aid on your I-20.
