Also, what was your undergrad in?

>>10496754
Computer Science, major gpa is like 3.8 but overall is 3.1

>>10496759

just tell them you are a CS graduate and major. They will suck your dick on the spot. Trust me. I do CS for a living.

Everybody knows CS is the elite of all the subjects and math/physics are just a subset of CS.

3.79 GPA from Kennesaw State University. Got admitted into Stanford's PhD program

>>10496759
I am so sorry.

Based as fuck

I've been told by hiring managers at Microsoft and Amazon that a Masters in CS is only relevant for Indians and other Asians who need help getting sponsored.
For everyone else, there is no difference to them between a BSc and MSc in CS.

>getting accepted
If you have money you are in if all you're doing is a masters. If you want PhD, and don't have a conventionally strong application because you have little or no prior research experience, or may not have three strong recommendation letters, shit GPA, and didn't publish as an undergraduate and/or develop relationships with three recommendation letter writers you are pretty much fucked UNLESS... you find somebody to coach you how to write a very compelling research statement. Of course this implies that you actually are interested in said research and have at least some research experience meaning you worked with your professor on whatever shit they were making in the lab and he can vouch for you in a letter.

tl;dr you're screwed unless of course you pick an obscure department and tailor your 'coached' research statement directly to them so you can get in.

Why

>>10497248
How about for Machine Learning?

>>10497855
Not any of them, but my bet is overall GPA. What's your minor/other major?

>muh major gpa
graduate school is about reading papers, doing research, figuring out which questions to ask, thinking and reasoning accurately, expressing yourself clearly in writing, and giving effective presentations.
in other words all the shit you got a 3.1 in.
just go be a code monkey

>>10498670
Wtf

>>10499976
Why

>>10499934
I got an A in my English classes, I got shit grades in my “race and ethnicity”, “leadership in the workplace”, “photography”, shit I couldn’t give two fucks about

>>10496732
Sorry but noone can expect to have a nice advice here. You should ask your professor

>>10500251
>i can't study an abstract concept unless i completely buy into it
fail

>>10500575
>implying this shit has any depth to begin with
I bet you unironically think critical theory and other lulzy shit the frankfurt school thought up is 'deep' too.

What's the best salary you can get with a CS degree ?
CS > BBA/MBA in a Business school in term of pay and utility ?

>>10497248
this is true, course material for master and bachelor are similar if not exactly the same

>>10496794
what is your ethnicity?

>>10500251
Are these actual classes or are you trolling?

>>10500575
>Hello class today we will practice our dick-sucking skills.
>I present to you Jamal, who possess a fine 10 inch nigger cock and will be my assistant.
>Please get down on your knees and do an exhibition of your interracial cock-sucking skills.
>You get an A. I get an F.

Kill yourself.

Actual classes, I go to a liberal UC

Choosing an undergraduate degree based on pay is retarded. If you want guaranteed money then get into a Medical Program, anything else is a crapshoot.

>>10502111
>Choosing an undergraduate degree based on pay is retarded
Checked + not if you want freedom.

>>10501551
>studying a school of thought I don't personally agree with is akin to sucking dick
Stay stupid.

Yikes

BS and MS in CS
3.0 gpa ugrad with research experience
3.4 grad with publication
unemployed

>>10496732
Just got accepted into 3 different big 10 schools for an MS, currently weighing my options.

>How was the process of getting accepted?
Slow, but that's to be expected. Apply by the end of winter break if you want the best possible consideration —many schools do rolling admissions, and the ones that don't still look at earlier applicants more favorably. Also, be sure to put in plenty of work on your essays. Many STEM students are poor writers, so a strong essay will set you apart from the crowd.

>What GPA and stuff did you have?
Major GPA (CS) was 3.7, minor GPA (English) was 4.0, overall was 3.8. Had 2 yrs research experience and a programming internship on my resumé. Also a member of the undergrad honors program.

>>10496752 is full of shit. Maybe 1 in 5 CS students are literate, and even fewer can actually be fucked to read the manual. I worked as a tutor for a semester (definitely not worth), and all I ever did was show kids how to use man and javadocs. In a 400-level class in databases, two of the grad students didn't know how to write python programs without jupyter notebook. "Code monkeys" isn't an insult, just a fair description.

Seriously, show that you can read, write, and think for yourself. That will separate you from the herd.

>>10497248
yeah basically. skills >> research in most cases.

>>10497859
I'm not sure about generic ML but you'll probably need a masters. in computer vision (what I study) all the sweet-ass jobs require at least a masters.

>>10502111
>Choosing an undergraduate degree based on pay is retarded
tell that to my friends who are smarter than me but can't find jobs because they majored in english/econ/philosophy/etc

>>10503067
>3.0
what school?

how long have you been unemployed? you never got an internship or something?

>>10503444
>>10503067
and by what school i mean what school accepted you into their graduate program with a 3.0

>>10503022
>tanking a course because you're not interested in the material
Yikes

>Seriously, show that you can read, write, and think for yourself. That will separate you from the herd.
Seconded. While most people dismiss writing as useless, it is seriously the most powerful asset you can have in your toolbelt for any field of study.

I have a 3.6 GPA and a publication, although I got into the combined BS/MS program at my school, so my experience is a bit different from the other posters in this thread.

>>10503370
If you know how to do it in a jupyter notebook shouldn't be that hard to run shit from the command line lol or do something else.

>>10504117
Because teachers pass almost any writing assignment or essay really easily (at least in STEM, not sure about humanities but probably similar). Focus in undergrad is exclusively on tests where you need to cram up a lot of facts that you forget 1-2 years later anyway. However later on all you're doing is writing and projects anyway, a lot of Msc level courses do not even have exams from my experience but I learned more than many undergrad courses.

>>10500589
My university has a course that ''celebrates the intellectual legacy of the Frankfurt school" taken from the description. Lol. This isn't even in America but in Europe.

Senior level functions pay well. CS undergrad with a master in US give you an above modal income job in that direction (90k+ depending on state). From there on out it's more about how you develop yourself anyway and if you go for more senior positions within a company and of course the type of company you're employed at.
