MS in computer science chances

[erdos1123]

I have a very poor GPA at a university in california (2.3). I want to eventually apply to a M.S. program but am not sure what I can do to make myself a good candidate. I haven't really done research. After I graduated I took an internship in information technology, and have been there for a few months. I have not yet taken the GRE.

What can I do now, to help myself get into graduate school.

Realistically, you're in a tough spot. Schools normally have a 3.0 hard minimum. I would retake classes if you can.

2.3 is a very low GPA.

 

Take the GRE. Do well.

 

Sign up for non-degree status in the master's degree program. Take core classes. Do well.

 

I'm more concerned with your LORs and SOP at this point. With that low a GPA, you probably don't have LORs from undergraduate, so you will have to get them from non-degree graduate.

 

Good luck.
