I agree the quant section in the GRE seems to be getting harder than a couple of years ago.

Thank you! That was  a very helpful overview.

Hello again, not sure if anyone is actively following this thread at this point, but to followup to my last post: there will be no admitted students day at UW this spring. If you reach out to them, though, they will send an email to their listserv inquiring about couches available for crashing on (I was able to find lodging this way).

I'm flying to Seattle today and will be meeting with the temporary head of the program tomorrow. If anybody has questions they'd like me to ask her about the program, I'd be happy to pass them along and let you know what she has to say. 

Hi 

I was wondering if you could tell us a little background about you...Did you study linguistics or computer science as an undergrad?   Did you have some experience in the field before applying for a Master's in compling? 

 

[Next step towards PhD?]

You can write a conference paper and participate in some local  student-friendly conferences . That way you'll be better prepared to apply to a Phd program next year.

I was checking some of the courses  in the Computational Linguistics program  at Syracuse and I'm still unsure what math/computer science background they require before starting the program. 

 I didn't find any programming or statistics courses offered as requirement.

Do they assume certain background/ prior skills for incoming students?
