I am a senior in high school and will be getting a BS in data science at Penn state. What scores, internships, research experience, etc do I need to have a safe chance of getting accepted?
If you’re a senior in high school I wouldn’t worry too much about your masters yet. What are you planning on doing that you know requires a Stanford degree?
Well, not Stanford specifically… but when the time comes to make a decision on whether or not to pursue a higher education I would like to be in a position to choose from the best. Preparing for a top tier university like Stanford or CMU will surely place me on a good career path as well.
If you do well enough in undergrad at Penn State that you can get accepted into Stanford or CMU, you should be able to get a great job with your Bachelor’s degree. I see how another year of study at Stanford or CMU can put you “on the good career path” if you aren’t already on it enough to be accepted to these programs.
