@CalCUStanford thanks for guidance, to your points.
- Do you mean CS department? Why Math/Stat department? His research involves with ECE (Electrical and Comp Eng) professors.
- I should have mentioned, he is pursuing Stat minor.
- tbh, I am not that much familiar and not sure with timeline he can achieve that. I thought publication is generally for PhD programs.
GRE Math test: Is that required by top 5 schools? I thought only GRE general. UIUC doesn’t even need GRE (I believe that one is in his pocket, but he wants to venture out another school). Something I have to figure out.
@Beaudreau thanks for information, currently he is debating ML/AI and CV, I know he has heart with robotics since high school club time.
