What will happen to your company if you go to the US for university? Is part of the point that you don’t need to continue with the company because you are being acquired?

I think that your chances are relatively good at UMass Amherst and Rutgers as long as you are okay being full pay, and I know quite a few very good engineers or software engineers who went to one or the other. I would expect you to get in somewhere else on your list also, although I would be hard pressed to guess where and the first five on your list are high reaches.

If you care about the cost of education, you can find universities in other countries that will be less expensive, and that are at least as strong as UMass and Rutgers (noting that these are very good schools, but the US doesn’t have a monopoly on very good schools). Note that getting a degree from a US school does not automatically come with a visa to work here (unlike some other countries).
