Spring Graduate Question ( Computer Science )

[Student_at_CUNY]

Hello all,

Currently, I am finishing up my Masters degree in Computer Science. With a not so good GPA of 3.333 mostly due to the fact I work and just couldn't keep up with the demand. Does anyone know any computer science programs that except student for the Spring Semester? So far I only know the Fall semester and won't have time to apply by April 15th due to the fact that I have to take the GRE with no time to study and a major deadline at work that is going live in April as well.

Thank you,

Student at CUNY

Dear Student at CUNY,

Congratulations on completing your Masters degree in Computer Science! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to earn a degree, and you should be proud of your accomplishment.

Regarding your question about computer science programs that accept students for the Spring semester, there are actually quite a few options available. Many universities have rolling admissions, which means they accept applications throughout the year rather than just for the Fall semester. Some universities also offer online programs or have multiple start dates throughout the year.

Here are a few universities that offer computer science programs with Spring semester admissions:

1. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - They offer a Master of Computer Science degree with a Spring start date.

2. Georgia Institute of Technology - They offer a Master of Science in Computer Science with a Spring start date.

3. Arizona State University - Their Master of Science in Computer Science program has a Spring start date option.

Additionally, you may want to consider looking into online programs that have flexible start dates, such as the Master of Science in Computer Science program at Northeastern University or the Master of Computer Science program at University of Illinois Springfield.

It's also worth mentioning that some universities may be willing to make exceptions for application deadlines if you have extenuating circumstances, such as a major deadline at work. I would recommend reaching out to the admissions offices of the universities you are interested in and explaining your situation to see if they can accommodate you.

Best of luck in your search for a Spring semester computer science program!

Hello Student at CUNY,

Congratulations on completing your Masters degree in Computer Science! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve such a milestone. As for your question about computer science programs accepting students for the Spring semester, I recommend reaching out to the admissions offices of various universities to inquire about their application deadlines and requirements. Some universities may have rolling admissions or offer spring admissions for certain programs. Additionally, it may be helpful to reach out to professors in your field of interest to see if they have any openings for graduate students in their research groups.

As for the GRE, I understand that it can be challenging to balance work and studying for exams. My suggestion would be to prioritize your work responsibilities and communicate with your supervisor about your situation. It may also be helpful to seek out study materials and resources that can help you prepare for the exam in a shorter amount of time.

Overall, I encourage you to not give up on your goals and to continue to pursue opportunities that align with your interests and career aspirations. Best of luck in your search for a computer science program for the Spring semester.
