??ே?்??்?ா! ??ெ?ி?்?ா?ி?் ??்.??் ??ி?்?ி?ீ?்??ா? ??்? ?ை?ை ??்? ?ா?்?ே?், ???ை ?ே?்?ா?்!
(Okay, guys! Planning to do MS in the US? Don't worry, I won't pack your bags, just chill!)
?ே?்?ா ?ி?ி?்?ு ??ு?்?? (Sounds funny, right?) But hear me out. ??ெ?ி?்?ா?ி?் ??்.??் ??ி?்?ி??ு ???ு?ா?். But that dream can turn into a "?ா?் ?ா?்?ி?்? ?்?ீ?ா?ி ??ா?்?ா?" moment if you're not prepared. So, let's arm you with some ????-???? (laughter-inducing) tips to navigate this rollercoaster ride.
1. ?ா?ு?ா ???்? Mr. Standardization, ??்??்?ா??்! (Who's this dude? Mr. Standardization, the villain!)
GRE, TOEFL, GMAT, SAT - these alphabet soup names are enough to make you choke on your filter coffee. But ?ொ?்??் ???ு?், ?ி?ை? ?்?்?ா?் ?ா?ி (a little fear and a lot of strong coffee) can conquer these beasts. Remember, practice makes ???ெ?்?், ??்?ை?ா? (perfect, right?)
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
2. ?ூ?ி??்?ி?்?ி ?ே?்?ு: ??்?்??்?் ???்! (University selection: A sea of options!)
From Ivy League giants to cozy state universities, the choices are endless. But don't jump in like a ??ு?்?ு?் ?ு??்?ி?் ?ீ?் (fish in a pool of peanuts). Do your research, consider your budget, and ???்?ை ??ி?் ?ி?ு?்? ?ொ?ே??ை?ு?் (scenic locations) ???்?ா?ீ?்?!
3. ???்?்?் ???்??் ???்??்! ???் ???் ???்! (Funds, funds, funds!)
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
??்.??் ??ி?்?ி??ு ??ு ?ோ?்??் ?ீ?்?ெ?் (golden ticket) ?ா?்?? ?ா?ி?ி?ா?். But that ticket ain't cheap. Scholarships, assistantships, education loans - explore all options like a ??்??ை?ி?் ?்?்?ூ ?ி?ை??ை ?ே?ு? ?ா?ி?ி (searching for a screwdriver in a workshop).

4. ?ி?ா ??ே?்?ு?்: ?ெ?்?ு?்?ு?்?ே ??ு?்??்! (Visa interview: Butterflies in your stomach!)
Being nervous is natural, but remember, you're ?ி?ி?்?ி??்?் (brilliant)! Be confident, be yourself, and answer their questions like you're explaining ???் ?ா??் (rasam rice) to your grandma.
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
5. ??ெ?ி?்?ா ?ா?்?்?ை: ??ா?்?ா ??ா?்?ா! (Life in the US: Fun and games!)
Diversity, new experiences, new friends - it's gonna be ?ு?ு?ு ?ு?ு?ு (brand new). But remember, ?ோ?்?ு? ?ோ? ?்?ூ?்??ை ?ா?்?்?ு ??ி?்?ோ?ா?ீ?்?! (don't run away from a scooter on the road!)
?ொ?ு?ா ?ொ?்??ு?்?ா, ??்.??் ??ி?்?ி??ு ??ு ??்?ு??ா? ??ு???். (In general, doing MS is an amazing experience.) It's challenging, yes, but the rewards are ?ொ?ு?்?ு ?ை?்?ா (worth it). So, ???்?ை ?ி?்?ு?்?ு, ?ை?ி??ா ?ோ?்?! (Leave your fear behind and go for it!)
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
P.S. ??ு? ??ா??ு ??்??ு?்?ு ???ி ?ு?ி?்?ி?ு?்?ா, ?ே?்?ு ?ே?்?ு ??்?ு ?ா?்?ி ?ொ?ு?்?! (If any of this helped you, buy me some sweets later!)
??்?ா ??ி?்?, ??ை?்?ி?்! (Study well, and good luck!)
