In summary: I don't know how this works for Masters-only candidates, but most PhD programs will offer some form of teaching assistantship.

Ouch. Honestly, I would not go to grad school if I had to pay out of pocket. Thats just me. I would reapply and have my work pay for my education, or get a full ride.

Paying 12k a year for grad school is a bit absurd.

so if in future i got selected to NCSU or IIT , CHicago with 50 to 100 % schlorship should go there then or not . else i don't think i have a good option with a Quant on GRE is 800 but on VERBALL i have 400 makes it a total 1200 which i suppose might help .
please help me to jolt down to at least two for my good future

Everyones situation is different. I can't tell you what's best for you, you will have to decide that for yourself. I am sure one school stands out above the rest on your list academically, but that's necessarily the best school for you. If you get into the top school with no funding, are you willing to dump over $40k in two years?

Personally, I am not. I made my mind up that I would not pay a dime for grad school. If I was going to go, the school would have to give me a full ride and pay me, or my work would have to pay me a salary and pay for my school. Either way, I am not paying for grad school. If that limits my choice in grad school, so be it. I don't need debt up to my ears when I can get a MS for free.

Keep in mind, if you do an MS and work, it will take you longer. But in the mean time you are going to be making $55k a year, plus getting a free MS degree. Your other option is doing an MS in 2 years and owing $20-30k. I like option number 1.

To quote a line from my uni's AA department: keep in mind that a degree from a US institution will not generally be of help in obtaining employment in the US Aerospace industry.

We're a bunch of semi-paranoid nutjobs lately, or something.

Grad school is already often questionable as to whether you can break even in the long run, i.e. increased earning potential vs. years spent earning nothing or accruing additional debt. Unless the program is seriously inferior, I would pick among the places that will pay for all your costs or at least leave you with the least debt.

I keep hearing that they don't care as much about the verbal score. You may need to take a TOEFL test (English as a foreign language).

I know PhD candidates usually end up with a teaching assistantship or something like that to deal with their costs of education, but I'm not sure how this works for Masters-only candidates.
