Ask HN: How can one strengthen a Stanford MSCS or MSSS application?

Posted by areeve on Monday April 29, 2013 @07:12PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Suppos that the applicant has an unrelated undergraduate degree with a ~3.5 GPA, and a competitive GRE score.

Would side projects such as web or mobile applications be beneficial? What other avenues could an applicant pursue to strengthen their application?

Strong recommendations from Prof, former managers would definitely help. I can't reinstate the importance of a great personal essay.
