Thanks for the advice!
Based on what you said, I think I'm going to have a tough time getting accepted into a graduate program. My first three years at college were spent bouncing between majors, so I don't have strong relationships with any of my CS professors. The only time I would say I excelled was my senior year where I completed 8 cs classes with good marks, but that doesn't seem nearly as impressive as completing undergraduate research/an internship.
Do you think open source work/self studying in the field I choose will have a large impact on my potential acceptance?
I regret not focusing in on CS and math earlier.
- impendia 14y agoYou might have a tough time getting into a top graduate program. But there are plenty of reasonably good graduate programs which are not quite as selective. Self study probably won't help you get into good programs initially, but if you get accepted to a second-tier program, it will certainly help you get the ground running and get the most out of it, whether you try to transfer out or not. Good luck!
