vinylfish Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 So I currently attend a public university and am majoring in an Information Technology:Software Development program. I'm 25. I have minors in Computer Science and Mathematics. I have about 180 semester hours (over the course of roughly 8 years) with a 3.01. I did really poorly my first few years of school, which is when I took most of my minor classes. However, I have taken both upper level computer science and math classes since then and have received ~3.5 in those. I will also have been working full time (not intern or co op, actual full time) for 4 years (as a Systems Administrator) at the time I begin graduate school. My gpa in my last 60 hours is a 3.8 or so. I had planned on doing just Business Analytics at my public university for a graduate program. But then I began to wonder if it was possible to go into Computer Science. My CS undergrad gpa (not including IT programming classes) is around a 2.7 or 2.8. My GRE scores : QR:159, V: 156, AW: 5 No research experience, 4 years full time work experience while attending school. Can someone recommend me out on what types of schools should be applying to? Or should I just stick with my public university graduate program and move on with my life. On one hand, I don't want to just apply to random places and waste money. On the other hand, I don't want to pass up something that I could have done. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinylfish Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Long term dream is very difficult. I like practically every topic and am relatively balanced. But since I brought up CS, I'll stick with that. I would love to do a little but of data analytics work and perhaps adjunct teach. But I want to study data analytics from a CS perspective. Most of all, I would like to research demographic data in communities. One paper I was reading was just about analyzing high school drop outs and patterns that the normal human observer may not have seen. vinylfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylfish Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I suppose my best chances are just sticking with my current university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
