Hi, I recently applied to Brandeis' Masters in Arts in Computer Science program.
It's a new program that switched over from the 3-semester post-bac program, and I'm freaking out a little because I just took my second GRE that turned out to be a disaster... and still reported it. This is the one program I am applying to and therefore dying to get in, and was wondering if any of you grad gurus can tell me my chances of getting in at all.
My first GRE was 161 V and 163 Q. Since this isn't too high of a score, I went for it again today... and tadaa, 158 verbal and 161 quant. I sent scores for both the tests. I graduated last spring (2014) from a top 20 undergrad in US, but with a degree in sociology (the program is intended for non-majors). My GPA's low at 3.094, which was why I needed a very good score for my GRE. I just don't know what happened.
I am confident I will get good recommendations from my bosses and advisor who writes pretty nice recommendations, but I don't know what else I can do to at least maximize my chances... any help?
I've taken some programming classes and have submitted certificate of course completion in my portfolio. If there's anything you guys can add, please do so! or... and please be honest, if it seems pretty hopeless, tell me! :'(
