On the UW Seattle admission webpage http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/ ... ments.html, it's said:
"However, we welcome applications from students who lack a portion of this background but who show exceptional promise, and accept a small number of these students each year."
Is it true? I am from another background but have taken enough undergrad CS courses, have been programming in C/C++ for materials science simulations, and built Beowulf computing clusters from scratch. GRE V730 Q800 AW4.5. GPA grad: 4.0/4.0 undergrad: 89/100
I was hoping UW Seattle would recruit me as one of the "small number of these students", but still got no news...
