<p>I’m still not sure if you’re applying for MS or PhD…
For PhD… I kind of know what percentage of people get admitted, but you’ll stand out much more at T15 schools than T4 schools.</p>
<p>MIT/Stanford: Very ambitious (extremely high competition, 5-10% people get admission)
Harvard, Princeton: Very ambitious (Smaller departments, <10% people get admission)
UTA/Wisconsin: Ambitious+ (~10% people get admission)
Columbia/GT/Purdue: Ambitious (~10-20% admissions)
JHU/OSU: Moderate (~20+% admissions)
MSU: Safe</p>
<p>Wisconsin doesn’t have much going on in security… the few people who do it already seem to have a lot of grad students. GT on the other hand is excellent in security and slightly less competitive. </p>
<p>For Masters, MIT has no MS, Wisconsin treats its MS admissions the same as PhD (so it’s just as difficult, 10% admission rate), and Harvard and Princeton are probably very unlikely. However, your chances for Stanford,UTA,GT,Purdue,Columbia,etc. all go up a notch for masters.</p>
