Hoping to get an idea of how competitive I am for MSCS. Don’t necessarily need an MSCS, but I’m interested in ML/AI and want to keep options open.
- College: T100 US University (UC System), BS CS
- GPA: 3.8 / 4
- GRE: Haven’t taken, but I believe it isn’t required now for many universities. (If otherwise, should I take it?)
- TOEFL: N/A
- Experience: 3 SWE Internships (2x FAANG, 1 Big N), 1 ML Internship (World renowned space agency)
- Research: None, focused on getting a job in undergrad. Might be a negative in my profile, but hopefully the other stats can make up for it?
With MS, I’m hoping to get into more specialized ML/AI/Systems roles in big tech companies or potentially into my own startup or being involved in one.
Targeting: Stanford, UC Berkeley (MEng), UCLA
Safe (if nothing works out): UCSD
