美国在读建筑Master， 转专业申请CS，22spring 定位贴

本科211建筑学，研究生美国top30建筑学，GPA排名都还可以。今年12月建筑硕士毕业了，打算毕业后直接就读所以想申请22 Spring。

背景：建筑感觉可以算文科艺术类了吧，基本零基础。本科只学过高数和C语言，上学期修了学校CS学院的java，暑假能修完数据结构和算法，应该都能拿A，至少一封教授推荐信。最后一学期还能再修一门cs的课。

选校方向：由于是转专业自己心里也有底所以要求并不高……目标找工留美，从事建筑和计算机结合的工作。
选校很迷茫，只知道NEU的项目比较友好，但是bar好像越来越高，所以求推荐适合的项目~谢谢

Getting into CS master with non-CS undergraduate becomes possible lately, yet the bar is set pretty high for these programs. Enrolling in a master's in computer science program when you don't have a strong CS background can mean having to admit exactly how much you don't known. But the ONE THING you need to remember when starting to learn CS is: don't give up, even when you feel like you don't understand or you don't belong. Everyone was there once. That's precisely why so many computer science master's programs are willing at least to consider applicants who haven't studied computer science or worked in the tech industry. A few good US bound master programs without CS background requirements are Purdue University, Texas A&M, NEU, University of Chicago. it's great that you have already taken or plan to take a few prerequisite CS classes, these will boost up your portfolio and make you stand out from non-CS applicants. And if it is possible, try to apply for a summer research position that is CS related to get more LORs. I love to see that you have a plan to infuse CS with Architecture in your future career, make sure you mention this in you SOP it should be a big highlight of career planning.

同建筑本科大三末流985，想申23fall的csmaster，补课了微积分概率 java ds，五年的建筑学学士学位算工科吧 ...

可以申usc的37项目，general的项目应该还是要cs background的
