  1. Hi, I am applying for CS MS program in multiple schools, before I dig into the content my SoP, there is one problem. It seems to be true that SoP should specify area of interest (something like AI, Data mining etc.) and explain why, but as I can see, most school underline the importance of breadth in their program (unlike PhD). Also, it is hard for me to find evidence to support my writing if I were to express interest in particular fields, it might all end up like saying "I would like to study in the fields of A and B of the CS study in your department because I want to learn more about these areas" (which is useless). So any idea on this? Thanks
  2. Hi all, I am an international students currently pursuing a CS B.S. in USA, and I am preparing to apply to M.S. program in CS for Fall 14. I mainly aim for career-orientied proffesional M.S. programs in CS in the US, and here are something about my bakground. Transfered from oversea college to a US school ranked 70 in general and 90 in CS. Not-so-high GPA around 3.7, but this GPA only count my credits in US school. Previous GPA is in 100 format (no curving in the scores), which I have around 85. Arrive in the States in Junior year, no specific intership / research experience (Ouch...), but I am an entry-level translater working with oversea publisher (no contract given, but have name on two books). Get to know and practice stuff about CS well before college, but no contest award or so. New GRE, a pain with Verbal and Writing as a foreigner (155 and 3.5), but Quantitative is good 169. TOEFL, waived for most school, but have a valid score 109. I personally want to apply for grad school for proffesional purposes, rather than academic / thesis. So what range of school I should consider (I think Top 30-70 in CS, or I can dream bigger?)? And what school / program do you recomment? A newbie's first post, thank you all in advance. Lingyuan
