For MS in CS or engineering, Stanford's Silicon Valley location makes it the stronger pick.

What is a good GRE score out of 340 for MS admissions in the USA?

What are credit points in college and how do they affect my study abroad application?

Credit points measure your academic workload; one US credit equals roughly three hours of weekly effort while one ECTS point equals 25-30 hours total.
