I graduated this May with a degree in bio from a top 20 university and haven't had much luck finding a job. I took some Computer Science courses this fall and fell in love, so I am now planning to apply for a MS in CS in Fall 2015. This would pretty much be a complete career change for me, my past internships have no relevance to CS.
Concerns:
I enjoyed the CS courses I took this semester, but my grades were subpar (B's). I did well throughout the semester but fell flat on my finals (I guess I just wasn't in my best state for the finals).
Would adcoms look upon my semester of unemployment unfavorably?
Stats:
3.3 undergraduate gpa
95% for both sections of GRE
I was hoping to get some opinions on the strength of my application and if my list of schools is appropriate (ie should I apply to more reach, target, and safety programs)?
Schools:
Fordham
NYU
Columbia
Cornell
North Carolina State
Thank you in advance, everyone!
