I am an architecture graduate from India and I have recently finished my undergrad at a school in Chennai.
I sent in applications to the Aarhus School of Architecture, University of Sheffield, RISD and KADK for MA/ M Arch courses. I've since received rejection letters from Aarhus and Sheffield (M Arch) while I got wait listed at RISD (only school in the US). Still waiting to hear from KADK and Sheffield (MA).
I should probably start looking at more schools but I find this entire ranking system very confusing. The programme at the University of Arts, London (CSM) caught my eye but I am very unsure of what I can expect from the school. Anybody here familiar with this school?
Also, any other schools I should be looking at?

Check out UCL, AA, IAAC, ETH, Angewandte University of Applied Arts Vienna. I am European and those are some good schools

Not impressed with the work of CSM - bit wobbly
UK Unis such as Westminster, London Met, Oxford Brookes, share same staff from AA - UCL - but more affordable - partly as AA-UCL do not pay very well which is typ of arch schools. London Met going through some changes so best to stay away until the dust settles -

@TED correct if I am wrong but I was under the impression that Oxford Brookes is voted as the worst uni in the uk for the last 3-4 years

Thanks so much for your replies, guys!
@international_applicant I do love the course at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna but I seem to have missed the first entry date. Bummer but I will apply by the second entry date in September if nothing else works out by then. And as far as ETH is concerned, do they have a course in English?
@TED I have applied to Oxford Brookes recently and I've just received a reply stating that after looking at my application they were wondering if I'd want to do the MArchD (2 years, RIBA accredited) or the M Arch (1 year). While the M Arch course looks good, I'm not sure of its value. Please let me know if it's a useful course to do. Also, I'm not really specific about working in the UK. I intend to finish my masters and come back home.

Also #aubemerge international scholarship competition worth a years fees for Masters Architecture happening now for 2016/17 closes mid- June.
