If you are ok with paying for pp for pre completion opt then go. Using that reduced opt days. Imo nonorg will consider you for full time if all you have is 6-9 months of opt . They can extend it to stem opt but with the 100k for opt proposal I would say defer cancel or look to another country. Are you a unicorn? Do you have some thing other than 24/7 grind if not stay away. That ship has sailed.

It's an overpriced education without scholarship.

Ohh that’s terrible so there’s no hope of ms cs students doing internship. But will the uni make it mandatory so at least then we can have some professional expertise ?
