Hey,
I'll (try to) keep this short...
Recently I was admitted to a top-tier school to pursue a PhD with funding, fellowships, etc..
Even though this is a dream come true, my recent academic interests have been shifting slightly more towards Computer Science and AI. From my current field, this is not an enormous leap (ie: I have lots of mathematics and programming under my belt), but it is still substantial enough to warrant concern.
Is there anybody out there who has made a similar switch between departments for your graduate degree (though not necessarily to CS per se)? How much bureaucracy was involved? Were you successful?
Thanks.
