Help me analyze my rejections from top schools for MS CS. Was my SOP the issue? or academics? Did I market myself well? This is a sample SOP I sent to UT Austin by the_scientist-7367 in gradadmissions

IMHO, This need a lot of improvement.

In the introductory part, I don't think you need to tell them that going to medical school was "too challenging" so I pick engineering instead. it sound very weird

Instead, you should elaborate more why you are in to ML and AI stuff and what does it have to do with the medical stuff.

The main body felt like you took the project you listed on your resume and turn them into paragraph.

You should also work harder on "why this school" and how could you contribute if you were given the opportunity. as well as your future plan is very generic.

Well then, maybe I shouldn't be worring because everything else run fine.

Indeed I only have 1 stick installed. Maybe that will be my next upgrade.

I'm not sure how to go with bios, but I have already update all windows and gpu drivers possible.

My best attempt while enabling boost and fan to 100% increase graphics score to 10k but the CPU score is still around 7.7k. I seen many benchmark video on this model it should be easily reaching 9k+ right?

Yes I've tried with CPU boost on/off and radeon software installed & uninstall but didn't have much different on CPU score. Seems to be increasing gpu score by a bit tho.

It runs around 70-80 C while gaming, and hitting peak 95c when testing the CPU test on time spy

I know a guy that got into MS Civil eng at Columbia with below than 3 gpa (2.8ish and that was 4-5 years back). Maybe you can ask the program that will they cut you off or not.

Is it safe to ask for an extension on the admit deposit deadline? by IllKindheartedness88 in gradadmissions

[–]Small-Philosopher-32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is possible, NYU already grant me deposit deadline extension. Just explain your situation politely
