Looking at a masters in CS, either coursework or research (I likely will not be pursuing a PhD). 

Profile: 

School: Current junior at school ranked ~60th in CS in the south.

GPA: Major: 4.0, Overall 3.90

Research: Working with a professor for a year, name on a paper and REU funding for next semester. 

Internships: Some industry internships at local companies and FinTech in NYC. 

GRE: Not taken yet, expect to target SAT roughly (800R, 700M) or better. 

 

Strengths: 

1) Good GPA

2) Professor I do research with doesn't hate me. 

Weaknesses: 

1) GPA could go down to 3.9 Major/3.8 overall after this semester, but I only have 1 full-time semester left. 

2) No focused coursework - no very high level maths yet, no graduate level courses until senior year. 

 

Any thoughts? I'm primarily interested in ML and Computer Vision, and my research focuses on applications of ML in security. 

Currently, the schools I've been looking at have been UNC, Duke, UCSD, UW-Madison (with faculty introductions) GaTech, Columbia, UPenn CIS, CMU MS CS (far reach), Stanford MS CS (far reach)

 

Thanks!

I feel like you should be ok, but I also don't have that much experience with MSCS admissions.
