    Would winning hackathons or receiving a gold medal from the university fall in the last category? Are something worth giving importance to or just some brownie points?

    Ma'am I have 8.35 cgpa in cse and have done two research internships in Cambridge University and IIT but don't have a paper published yet since I am working on one as of now. Apart from my research internship I also worked with my state government power supply department as software engineer. Ma'am I want to know among UC Davis, Irvine, Santa Barbara which one should I focus more as I am thinking to apply to only one of the above for MS in CS.

    It will be tough with a below 8 gpa for ms cs . You can try programs like mis, data science, computer engineering, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity etc. Try NYU, University of Buffalo, stony brook University, university of utah, florida state university, university of florida, university of Georgia, Northeastern university
