I currently got a gre of 320+3, still working hard on it.

Then you can apply to a couple universities like CMU, GTech,etc, but they’re high reaches (one., Your odds are very low). Universities like UWisconsin, UMass Amherst, UMD College Park (high matches), Penn State, UMN, UOregon are more likely.
The UK and Canada have an automatic work permit system for university graduates, unlike the US.
The UK would be easiest because the previous government changed rules to prevent grad students from coming with their spouse&kids, as a result applications fell drastically, and UK universities are in a world of trouble, the entire world class system destabilized. The new government is scrambling to fix this, first removing the person in charge of the Office of Students (who was a political appointee with no experience and totally failed to perform his safeguarding duties) and replacing him with a person who knows what they’re doing. Anyway, selectivity at the grad level may be a bit less for 2025.

320 is decent. The 3 needs some improvement. If you can bring the quant score to 165 your chance goes up by a lot. If your university hasn’t had many graduates admitted to US graduate programs, especially the ones you’re aiming at, your GRE score will be strong indicator of your potential.

thx, I’ll consider. But I’m also reconsidering about going to Europe and Singapore, can you chance me? Be like, Delft in Netherlands, Laussane Univ in Switzerland.
