Chances of getting into Stanford grad School?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone. I was wondering what you think my chances are of getting into Stanford grad school for computer sciences? </p>

<p>I graduated from Hofstra University as an undergrad in 2009 with a Bachelors of Business Administration. </p>

<p>Overall GPA of 3.77, graduated cum laude.</p>

<p>I applied and then served as lab assistant to the biology department for all experiments and graduate student studies, for every semester. (found biology interesting)</p>

<p>I was then accepted as research assistant to a grad student working on her
masters biology thesis. While continuing to work as a lab assistant.</p>

<p>I was a member of the deans list every semester of my collegiate career-3.4 GPA or
higher required per semester.</p>

<p>I then made the Provosts list 1 semester for finishing with a perfect 4.0 GPA</p>

<p>I was invited and joined the Golden Key International Honor Society-
(World's largest collegiate honor society. Membership and invitation restricted to top 15% of class.)</p>

<p>I was then invited and joined Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society (International honor society of accredited AACSB business programs. Invitation to only top 10% of
business class.)</p>

<p>I also joined as a member to Delta Mu Delta National Business Honor Society - (which restricts invitation to only top 20% of class.)</p>

<p>I was also a member of 2 clubs and intramural sports, not in a leader position but participated in some community service and fund raising programs.</p>

<p>I have not taken the GRE's yet so I cannot provide you with a score. Though I plan to study quite a lot for them.</p>

<p>Overall, that's what I have, appreciate any feedback. Let me know what you think.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Well, back when I was looking at grad schools in Computer Science (25+ years ago), I remember getting a flyer from Stamford about their graduate CS program. The year before I was considering applying, EVERY SINGLE accepted applicant had perfect 800’s on the GRE and straight A’s in undergrad Math/CS.</p>

<p>I’m also not sure how well a BBA degree is going to prepare you for a graduate CS program, don’t forget you’re competing with people who are coming out of CMU, MIT and CalTech with undergrad CS degrees.</p>

<p>Good luck, but I think it’s going to be a big reach for you.</p>
