  1. Hi all, I've been searching these forums for a bit to find info about getting into masters programs in CS/compling/language technologies. After reading some posts (many containing very useful comments), I've decided that I still need to post my own info and ask for direct advice. What I've done University of Chicago 2009, BA linguistics, general honors in the College Overall exit GPA: 3.34, major exit GPA: 3.33 No publications in any field Work/research experience in University of Chicago Phonology Laboratory, McNeill Gesture Laboratory (Dept. of Psychology) General GRE score (2nd attempt) of Q: 800 (94%), V: 760 (99%), W: 4.0 (45%) Two web programming classes (CMSC 10100/10200), 'A's in both One CS intro. course (CMSC 15100), 'P' (had to take it pass/fail because I was doing sort of badly due to some motivational problems, which are no longer an issue) One discrete math course in the CS department (CMSC 27100), 'W' (had to withdraw due to, again, some motivational problems) 'Intro to Programming for Linguists' course (like an intro to NLP with Python) (professor is a potential recommender), 'A' What I'm doing I'm now looking to do a computational linguistics/language technologies/cs (w/specialization in NLP/CL) masters program somewhere. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a formal background in computer science (nor was I able to take my school's only compling course). Despite my lack of formal CS background, I do have some programming chops, much of which I've developed on my own, and I'm working on some personal projects right now to continue that development. I think I could definitely include some of my current projects with a grad school application where appropriate. I'm also studying for the GRE subject test in CS for the middle of November, which I think I can get a decent score on (I don't really have a full impression yet of how well I'll do, though, because I haven't tried a full-length practice exam, but I'm working through some resources I've dug up, like the Titanium Bits guide.). What I'm hoping for One of my biggest targets is to get into Carnegie Mellon's Language Technologies Institute for their Masters in Language Technologies program. The program looks absolutely amazing, and I think I'd really like it. Question is, can I get in, given my lack of background in CS/research? I think I can get rather good recommendations, at least where being involved in linguistics/research is concerned. One would be from my former boss at the UChicago Phonology Laboratory (also my professor in some ling classes). Another would be from one of my former ling professors who also directs the Chicago Language Modeling Lab. My third recommendation, perhaps not as strong as the other two due to its lack of ties to either the CS or ling departments, would be from a senior researcher in a psych lab that works with gesture, where I worked for half a year. Anyway, in addition to CMU's LTI, I've tentatively been looking at Georgetown (MS in compling), UW Seattle (professional MS in compling--don't really want a professional program, though), Columbia (MS in CS allows for heavy specialization in NLP/CL), Stanford (MS in CS with specialization in NLP/CL) and USC as possibilities as well. I realize that some of these schools explicitly offer degrees in computational linguistics and others don't, while still allowing for specialization in computational linguistics through masters programs in CS. I still have a rather long list of schools to plow through in order to determine whether or not they offer programs of interest to me (NYU, Ohio State, SUNY Buffalo, UCLA, Berkeley, UIUC, UMD, UMich Ann Arbor, UMN, UPenn, UT Austin, Utah). I should mention that I am more interested in masters programs with thesis options and opportunities for research than just course-based programs, as I still haven't ruled out the possibility of doing a Ph.D. in CS/compling after my masters studies. Advice I suppose, then, that I'm seeking general commentary/advice/criticism/suggestions on my choice of programs/institutions, any programs/institutions I seem to be unaware of, and my chances of getting into the aforementioned programs/institutions. All helpful comments are most welcome! I'll add, finally, that suggestions for MS programs in CS without an NLP/CL focus are also welcome, as I'd potentially consider doing something like that, with a view to doing a Ph.D. in CS/compling afterwards (though I'm currently assuming that getting into a compling program would probably be more realistic than getting into a pure CS program for someone with my profile). Alright, thanks a bunch for reading this far, and sorry for the tl;dr-type post! Best, Stefan
  2. Hello everyone! I would like to get a graduate degree (undecided between an MS or a PhD but leaning toward the former at the moment) in computational linguistics/Natural language programming. This is my background: I have a BS and MS in Mathematics and have been working in NLP this past one year. I'd like to know if anyone else here is applying to a similar program. If you are, get in touch! :)
  3. Hi all, I've been searching these forums for a bit to find info about getting into masters programs in CS/compling/language technologies. After reading some posts (many containing very useful comments [often from the user CalmLogic, I've noticed, haha]), I've decided that I need to post my own info and ask for direct advice. What I've done University of Chicago 2009, BA linguistics, general honors in the College Overall exit GPA: 3.34, major exit GPA: 3.33 No publications.

Unfortunately, I don't have much of a formal background in computer science (nor did I take my school's only compling course, because I carelessly blew my chance). Despite my lack of formal CS background, I do have fair programming chops, much of which I've developed on my own, and I'm working on some personal projects right now to continue that development.

What I'm hoping for My biggest target is to get into Carnegie-Mellon's Language Technologies Institute for their Masters in Language Technologies program. The program looks absolutely amazing, and I think I'd love it. Question is, can I get in, given my lack of background in CS/research? I know I can get good recommendations, at least where being involved in linguistics/research is concerned. One would be from Alan C.L. Yu, who was my boss at the UChicago Phonology Laboratory (and my professor in some ling classes). Another would be from one of my former ling professors, Jason Riggle, who directs the Chicago Language Modeling Lab. My third recommendation would perhaps be weaker than the other two, since it's from a senior researcher, Susan Duncan, in the Department of Psychology McNeill Gesture Laboratory for whom I worked for half a year. I think that this last recommender would add some good variety of perspective to my letters of recommendation as a whole, though. (By the way, I'm not trying to name-drop all over the place here to sound like I'm full of myself; I just want the names of the places and people I've been associated with to be out there in case someone reads my post, decides to look at these people/places online, and can choose offer me advice from a fresh and informed perspective.) :) Anyway, in addition to CMU's LTI, I've been looking at Georgetown (MS in compling), UW Seattle (professional MS in compling--don't really want a professional program, though), Columbia (MS in CS allows for heavy specialization in NLP/CL), Stanford (MS in CS with specialization in NLP/CL) and USC as possibilities as well.

I should mention that I am certainly more interested in masters programs with thesis options and opportunities for research than just course-based programs. Advice If any of you could offer me advice on the schools/programs I've listed, advice on other schools with appropriate programs that I failed to mention and/or am unaware of, commentary on my chances of getting into any of the programs I mentioned given my profile, success stories and anecdotes of others who have been in situations similar to my own, etc., I would be most grateful. Thanks a ton for reading this far, and sorry for the tl;dr-type post! Best, Stefan
