I am a graduate of IIT Madras (Biotechnology, B.Tech, and M.Tech, 7.56 cgpa), India. During college, my focus was on medicinal biology. I found the subject interesting and I kept working on it till my last year. Later I realized it was not what I wanted to do. I was intrigued by computer science and how computers do what they do. Since I was from a Biology background, I applied from Bioinformatics Masters abroad (US). Unfortunately, I did not get through any college. I landed in a software development job and it's 2 years now. I want to do a Masters in Computer Science. I am caught between applying for Computer Science or for Bioinformatics. I am also not confident if I will be able to get an admit in both cases. Please help me get some clarity about the issue.
