From your list I know that Duke publishes those percentiles.

SoP - Specificity of Interest(s)
dntw8up replied to Eddie Kant's topic in Statement of Purpose, Personal History, Diversity
So, what do your tips say about the tone of the SoP? Should your personality show through, or should it be strictly professional? Let me guess -- both? -
There are no percentiles "required" to enter engineering. High scores are best, but many other factors are considered, like GPA, recommendations, and statement of purpose.

All of the schools to which I am applying ask for approximately one and a half pages single spaced.

Unplug your home phone when you're taking a practice test.

Yes, taking the cs subject exam would help your application if you scored well, which is extremely difficult to do even for cs majors.

Coming from Berkeley you may also wish to consider the locations. Ithaca is an appealing "college town" in middle of nowhere, and it lacks the diversity and culture of Cambridge. Whichever you choose, you'll be there for a number of years, so quality of life seems like an important factor.

Your AW won't matter much, but research experience is the most important factor in CS admissions at the schools you've mentioned.

Brown requires the general GRE and recommends the subject GRE: http://www.cs.brown.edu/grad/applications/phd/

Hello - When I was looking at CS grad school programs in the 1970s, the chief difference among departments was a tendency to be stronger in either hardware or software. Now my son is looking at CS grad school programs and I find I need some help in order to be able to discuss his academic future with him intelligently. What I'd like to know is what the broad areas of CS are in academia today (obviously things are much more specialized than just HW and SW.) I'm also interested in learning which school have particular strength in which areas. Google tends to show me rankings for CS programs generally, not filtered by the strengths of various programs, so I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. - Thank you.
