aznium Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Is this realistic for CS MS/PhD @ Stanford? or should I just save on the application fee GPA of 3.55 @ University of Waterloo Internships @ AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Google 1 Patent Pending 1 Paper Publish in progress
michigantrumpet Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 That's really not enough information to answer your question :?:. If there's anything I've been learning about this process is that there are about 10,000 factors. At least half of those are out of your hands... you never know unless you try!
bernard Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 You need a bit of luck to get into Stanford. Your school is good but your GPA is not. Try and see. If you have a paper, that will be a different story. (I predict that you will be good enough for MS .) If you do get MS, be expected to finance your study. Advice: apply broadly!
alice Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I'm wondering how you computed your GPA, since we don't use 4.0 scale at Waterloo. What % would 3.5 be? I also have a first author paper. But I spent 5 co-op terms in industry, and I'm not sure how much R&D work counts for PhD admissions. Good luck.
aznium Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 @Alice: http://www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/u ... ipts/guide It is approximately the same scale for UW. Convert each course individually and then average them out. Which program were you in?
