I have 2.9 GPA from Binghamton University, participated in a research program in undergrad funded by HHMI, coauthored on 1 published paper, and was first author on another. Both papers were in the realm of machine learning. I then went to grad school at Bard for my MAT, got a 3.46 there, and have been teaching computer science for a year now. Would it be difficult for me to get into a top tier computer science PhD program like Stanford or UCLA?
I've attached the papers below -
