17Fall 材料本科转CS 各大学校CS项目情况汇总

LZ LZ 你录取平均GPA是怎么看的 0 - 0

与其逛遍论坛，找各种小道消息和个例，不如好好研究一下各家官方的说法。这是开这个帖子的初衷。虽然有人没背景也能拿到好Offer,但是毕竟是个例，样本数量不够。虽然有些学校号称友好，但是每年的情况不一样，而且一爆出来友好就会被申爆，人家当然不会继续友好了。。。我觉得最靠谱的还是官网，人家官方都跟你说了，没背景去补完课再来，就没必要厚着脸皮去申了。如果官方说得稍微委婉一些，我们会综合考虑，没有背景，能力强也可以，那还能试一试。如果官方再友好一些，说没有背景来我们这人，我们给你补，你给钱就好，不要犹豫赶紧申。至于直接开给转专业的，更不用问。 当然也会有官网上说得很强硬，实际爆冷门的情况，可是这种消息概率有多大？可信度有多高？考虑一下投资回报比吧。总之，我觉得大部分小道消息都没有官网来得靠谱。。。

很多官方网站上会放出平均GPA，比如UC系列。。。  USnews的大部分信息也都是直接从官网上弄过来的，我并不觉得他们有什么特别的信息渠道。

Rice 还有抽彩票的余地，虽然也不大，见红字，一月30号截止，CS排名20
Admittance to a graduate degree program in the Computer Science Department at Rice University requires a baccalaureate degree or its equivalent. Although most applicants for our graduate programs have backgrounds in computer science, the graduate admissions committee encourages highly motivated students with undergraduate degrees in related disciplines to apply for admission.

Brandeis 转专业项目 CS排名82 rolling到5月1号

New for the fall 2015 semester, the Master of Arts (former Post-Baccalaureate Program) in Computer Science program offers students with a background in liberal arts or science the skills they need to make a career change into the thriving computer industry.

Designed for non-computer science majors, this high-demand degree offers:

A flexible, 12-course program that can be completed in two years (4 semesters)
A wide range of electives for individualized learning
Research-driven faculty who are also dedicated mentors
A growing alumni network in both industry and academia
Access to the resources of a top-50 research institution
A solid foundation in key areas of computer science including algorithms, artificial intelligence, databases, and programming
Proximity to Boston's Route 128 (Boston's "technology highway") and Cambridge's thriving high-tech sector

NW 天哪我之前一定是瞎了才把它删了，官方的说法是会考虑没有背景的人的。4月20号截止，大概是Rolling的
I ...

感谢楼主分享！但是NW这里有一个问题，就是我发邮件问Bruce这个项目是否转专业友好,他回给我的是：
“Admission to the MS program in Computer Science is very competitive, and the faculty are looking for sone specific CS background.”
我也知道官网上是说会考虑没有cs背景的人的..但是小蜜的回复也发出来，供大家参考啦~

UMA 可以试试看的，排名很靠前，可以先去读一年NON-degree，然后再申。不错的项目，就是快截止了 12月15号
ADMISSIONS
Admission is very competitive. We typically accept 10% of students applying to our graduate programs. Backgrounds vary: we have students from engineering, math, computer science, electrical engineering, psychology and social sciences. With such a diverse group, an emphasis is placed on letters of recommendation, the personal statement, GPA and GRE scores. For more information about admissions requirements, see our Application Instructions.
The College expects that students starting work toward a Master's degree have a solid undergraduate background in Computer Science.
he most important qualification for graduate study in Computer Science is good undergraduate preparation. The more courses, and the better the performance in those courses, the more likely the student is to compete successfully for admission to the program. However, if a student's performance overall convinces the Admissions Committee of his/her qualification for graduate study, minor deficiencies in undergraduate preparation are acceptable, provided these deficiencies are removed during the first year in Graduate School.
Incoming students should have taken courses equivalent to CMPSCI 121, 187, 220, 230, 250, MATH 131, 132, 235, and either MATH 233 or STATS 515.
We also recommend that students applying to the MS/PhD or PhD program avail themselves of opportunities to engage in research projects, especially where the work will result in publication of a conference or journal paper. These can, for example, be faculty-supervised research projects, company internships, the many Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs that are sponsored by the National Science Foundation through colleges and universities, or the Computing Research Association's Distributed REU summer programs. The PhD is a research-oriented degree, and the best way to demonstrate potential for completing it is through active and successful participation in research as an undergraduate.
We receive many inquiries from prospective students with little or no undergraduate preparation in Computer Science. In most cases, we recommend that such students enroll as non-degree students here or elsewhere to learn the undergraduate core of Computer Science. A year spent in this fashion allows students to discover whether they do indeed have the requisite skills and deep interest in Computer Science, and it provides us with the necessary data to determine whether they qualify for admission to the graduate program. We occasionally make exceptions to this rule but only if a student wishes to pursue interdisciplinary studies in Computer Science and has shown exceptional ability in a complementary discipline such as math, electrical engineering, physics, linguistics, neuroscience or psychology. Students admitted on these terms are required to remove deficiencies during their first year - the courses so taken do not, of course, count towards the graduate degree.
