S8887 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Background My first MS was an integrated BS-MS in Mathematics. My grades there were modest (7.3 on a scale of 10) My second MS is in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning. I have significantly improved my grades- the current being 3.8. Will this be able to make up for the modest grades earlier? I changed fields, and one of the reasons was that I discovered pure math, the only kind that was offered at my UG institute, was not what excited me a lot. I worked for a year in a firm where I did work related to my current area, between my two masters. I have one (joint) first-author paper in submission. I am in good books of at least 3 faculty members I have done projects with. I have a couple more projects presently going on, and should be able to submit them by the time of applications. GRE- 163 Verbal, 168 Quant, 4.0 AWA Questions I have What things should I keep in mind to maximize my chances of getting into a PhD program? How to gauge what schools are ambitious and what schools are safe? What is a good time to get in touch with professors. Do I have a disadvantage as compared to students who did their UG in CS? (Subjective) How strong would you rate my profile? Edited May 25, 2017 by S8887 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
