  5. ^ Thanks! An update, I've narrowed down the list of schools I would like to attend to: Cal Poly SLO University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Texas A&M Dartmouth UC Irvine UC Santa Barbara College of William And Mary USC Do these all seem within reason? Additionally, at what scores should someone retake the GRE? I'm fearing I'm not going to do too hot, as I'm taking the test Saturday, and I've literally had not much extra time to get studying in in these last few weeks.
  6. It's important to note that it isn't even an M.S. I believe it's just a "Masters in Computer Science" and it is indeed a professional program.
  7. Can anyone give me some advice on to where to apply to? I posted this in another topic, but no one replied School: Top 50 nation, Top 40 CS Major: Computer Science B.A., emphasis in Computational Geography. GPA: Probably around ~3.4 by time I send applications in Research: 2 units of independent research in Geography under a respected and well-known researcher in the field of computational cartography. I haven't started, but the goal is to use OpenCV and apply it to spatial analysis. Teaching: At the time of applying, I'll have two quarters of being an undergraduate "moderator" for the intro to programming class. Basically I provide students in the class after hours help with labs and homework. Projects: - A full featured todo list. A personal pet project of mine - Contributing with a professor and group on a library used to automatically generate quizzes for the discrete mathematics course. Goal is to apply these methodologies to the intro programming course. Interests and Goals: Really, I just want to know more about CS and see if I'd be into research. I feel like my BA was a good primer, but I'd really like to dig a little deeper. I guess my interests so far would be novel interfaces as well as CS education Letters of Recommendation: I guess I won't know until I know, but I'd image they'd be a little better than average. I did well in all of the instructor's courses, and currently am in contact with them regarding projects, research, and the moderator duties I have. I'm only applying for a Masters, and ones that seem to have a focus on application, or at least a good mix of practical and theoretical. Thus far I really like CSU Cal Poly, Tufts and USC's programs the best, as they seem to meet my requirements.

As far as schools go, off the top of my head, I'm most interested in: University of Chicago USC Stony Brook Cal Poly SLO The first three seem to have a good mix of applied and theoretical focus, and Cal Poly is relatively close to where I'm currently located, and is fairly inexpensive to boot. I should note that by time I graduate I'll have very little debt, which is why I'm considering schools with higher price tags. Can anyone suggest some programs I should be looking at, based on my profile? Thanks
  9. Hey everyone, I'm currently doing a B.A. in Computer Science, and would like to earn my Masters to further my education as well as see if I would be interested in research. Unfortunately, by time I apply for most schools, I'd have only completed at most four upper division Computer Science courses. These include: Data Structures and Algorithms Computer Vision Introduction to Scientific Computing Hardware/Software Interfaces OR Security (haven't decided) By time I've graduated though, I will have added: Data Structures and Algorithms II Machine Learning Human Computer Interaction Databases Another unfortunate circumstances, because I've gotten into the program late, and because our B.A. doesn't require it, I don't have the 3-4 pre-requisite courses to take Operating Systems, or any kind of upper division digital logic course. So my question is, is it worth it to apply next Fall given that I still have a decent chunk of required courses to take? My performances in all my CS courses so far have relatively been strong (Lowest grade has been a B+, which mostly As and A-s in my lower and upper division course work), and I'll have an overall GPA of around 3.4ish by time I graduate. Or would it be better to apply the following year after everything is all settled? I really don't want to pay double application fees.
  10. I'm currently studying statistics, after a particularly bad quarter turned me away from my computer science degree. Lately however, I'm starting to regret that decision, as I'm finding myself more and more disliking statistics. I could switch back to the CS major at my school, but I would need to take a lot of courses to get me back on a decent schedule, and I fear burn out again. I've been told by a few people to stick out the stats major, and take up some CS classes on the side, but I'm not sure how prospective grad schools would look at that. I'm really interested in software design and HCI.
  11. My last few math terms haven't exactly spelled out potential graduate student in a math field (C+ in Calc 1, B in Calc 2, Probably B- in Diff Eqs and Lin Ang), but I still love the subject and want to do statistics. Starting next quarter I will be taking units that apply to the last 60 semester (90 quarter) hours, and, will most certainly bust my arse off to get in the A, A- range needed to get into decent grad schools. My final GPA will eventually probably land around 3.5 or so, but in my major, and last 60 units, if played out right, would be much higher given I get my crap together. So the question is, the schools that use only the last 60 semester units to be your GPA, do they care about my lackluster performances before? My gut reaction is they will a little, but if I am able to get my grades up, it's the new GPA that matters most.
