CS Graduate School

Graduate School
1

<p>I was wondering if anyone could tell me if these schools are appropriate for my stats, I'm just starting to look at schools:
Illinois
Michigan
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Washington
Stanford
Washington
Oregon
Colorado
UCSD
I'm interested in AI and Evolutionary Computation</p>

<p>Rising junior at a top 10 LAC
Double Major Math/CS
Minor in cognitive Science
Gpa 3.75 Overall, 4.0 in CS, something like a 3.8... in Math
2 years of REUs so far
1 conference paper
Haven't taken GREs yet, but I had good sats, if that carries over...</p>

<p>It's been much harder to figure out what schools are realistic possibilities for grad school than for undergrad, so any guidance would be helpful.</p>

<p>Your stats fits all the schools you mentioned, and if I may add, any schools would be fine with that kind of stats. </p>

<p>But as you probably already know, your SOP and LOR mean just as much as the stats in getting you a place in the top programs. So it’s going to be down to that. And one more thing, are you the first author in the paper and which conference did you publish your paper in? I’m also a CS major, basically if you have a paper or two (especially if you’re a first author) in top conference (something like AAAI for your field) you have a pretty good chance of getting into the top programs (MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, etc)</p>
