Advice needed on CS Phd Program Feasibility


Question

Posted

Hi, I'm an American EE/CompE undergrad at a mid tier(top 200) smaller state school with a 3.96 GPA. My university is not very big on research, so I have looked elsewhere for research opportunities and completed an EE REU at a top 20 university and a CompE Summer Research Program at a top 10 university. I'm looking to work on the Robotics/Perception/AI side of CS. I have posters and have given presentations on my summer research, but I don't have any publications. Realistically, what is my chance of getting into places like MIT EECS, Stanford CS, or UIUC CS for the CS PhD? Is it even possible?

I also plan on applying for fellowships such as NSF GRFP and will mention that on my application. I'm gonna be graduating in December, so I am currently applying for a prestigious research internship at a DOE national lab for the spring(Jan - June). Assuming that I get accepted, would you list it on your Resume/CV in your application as a "future accepted position"? Or would that look bad?

Am I at a disadvantage in terms of being a domestic student since most applicants are international? What kind of GRE scores should I be aiming for?

 

Thanks, I would really appreciate any feedback from you guys and gals. I'm sorry if my post isn't very neat; Its my first post on this forum.
