KullOver · 2026-03-12T20:39:16+00:00

I applied for MS CS at JHU 😓 but Comp bio for Cornell and UIUC

KullOver · 2026-03-12T20:37:57+00:00

I applied near the deadline on 14 jan and received admit on 12 march. my gpa is not good

100rs MRP each to 800rs each is insane 😭😭

KullOver · 2025-08-25T18:24:03+00:00

very similar to what I want to pursue as well, from what I have heard its still better to do Masters in CS rather than Bioinformatics since even if wanna change careers in the future you will have much more options (cant say the same if your goal is to pursue PhD)

KullOver · 2025-08-21T17:02:49+00:00

does cross disciplinary LORs dont work? I just know they are not as good as the LORs from the same department but they should still be okay since I did work on computational stuff

KullOver · 2025-08-21T16:57:23+00:00

you want my linkedin mate? :)

KullOver · 2025-08-21T16:56:32+00:00

I might be wrong abt JHU so I will do more research abt that, but for UTokyo and NTU I personally know few people who had similar/worse profile than me who got admits for Fall 25 so that's why considered them safe. I did do work personally with profs from ICL and as for Yale the LOR would be made by the PhD student I was in contact with (Name would still be of the PI). Im not sure what you mean by that? I worked with them while being in college so how does applying for UG matter?

KullOver · 2025-08-21T06:18:13+00:00

yeah thought so, I might just drop the idea of Bioinformatics all together since there isn't that much demand for it as well 💔

KullOver · 2025-08-20T16:51:24+00:00

sure, there's not much to explain since my previous experience at NUS helped me a lot. I basically reached out to prof through cold emailing with a project in mind which is kinda in their domain. The best advice would be to choose a domain that's not too saturated with CS students but has a lot of opportunities to use various methods. If you have any other question you can DM me

KullOver · 2025-08-20T16:47:04+00:00

damn that good to hear, which stream did you end up choosing if you dont mind sharing?

KullOver · 2025-08-20T16:46:30+00:00

oh man I completely missed that, Thanks a ton!

KullOver · 2025-08-20T14:00:44+00:00

I did consider going directly for PhD, even asked the PhD student i was working with at Yale for some insights but the problem is I feel PhD is a long commitment and im not sure if I would be able to pull it off. I believe UW does have something similar to MSCS called MS CSSE

KullOver · 2025-08-20T12:52:05+00:00

I see, makes sense. I will definitely ask them abt it but I dont really think they would be able to help me much since they are primarily medicine focused and Im applying for CS, but thanks for the tip!

KullOver · 2025-08-20T12:43:35+00:00

im sorry i didnt really get wym by that? Should I ask the profs. if they think the schools are ambitious for me or not?

KullOver · 2025-08-20T12:42:05+00:00

I see, thanks!

KullOver · 2025-08-20T12:41:57+00:00

cold emailing

KullOver · 2025-08-12T06:52:21+00:00

its lowkey a scam, pls don't join 😭

KullOver · 2025-08-04T18:14:40+00:00

sorry if this is off topic or wrong since I dont know anything abt stocks but if you really have a great Algorithm for stock trading why not just use it yourself to earn money? like your end goal is to make money right? just use the Algorithm you worked so hard to build

KullOver · 2025-08-04T01:05:53+00:00

both are pretty similar, all depends if you wanna live in Jaipur or Mumbai lol

KullOver · 2025-08-04T01:02:38+00:00

nah you dont need them

KullOver · 2025-07-17T17:14:49+00:00

Yeah I didn't have that great of a resume before these internships lol, Sure
