[@justinbromell1430]

Thank you for this, I’m currently applying to Stanford as well as the KHS program and this was really helpful

Thanks for the video

[@bonchonjonjon]

Of course! Thanks for watching.

happy birthday ! and i wonder if my undergrad GPA 3 (UK 2:2) will allow me to go in? I have master GPA of 3.7 and I am trying to get GRE more than 320+

[@bonchonjonjon]

Thanks! Hmm I'm not super familiar with UK. However, a master GPA of 3.7 is very good. You should try and apply to see! There are many other components to the app as well.

Thanks for the video! Very helpful! A couple of questions: is it important to contact professors before applying, and if they don't respond, do I still list their names in the application because they are in the area I am most interested in? Also, wonder how many schools should I apply. Want to apply more but concerned if it has too much work for my recommenders because they have to fill out for each school separately. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!

Really nice content.

[@bonchonjonjon]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@lila_shanoooooon]

Thank you so much for the content! I have a question: can I apply to both cs master and phd programs the same time for most of the US uni?

[@bonchonjonjon]

You probably need to check on a school by school basis. Perhaps even different departments vary. I remember Stanford EE allowing it, but some schools do not.

[@STUDY-x1y]

Does the focus on research also apply to the terminal Masters Degrees at Stanford? I heard they don't require a thesis either.

Watching this since I am applying to Princeton Plasma PhD program. For fall 2025. I am from the UK for us they only require a £20 to free admission fee. (About $27 dollars).charging a non-refundable $100+ dollars is criminal. I also I wanted to ask about what you think my chances of getting into Princeton in your opinion. Info below: I got first class degree in masters of physics, UK (85% average) this is a 4.0 gpa (~94/95%) and I am rank 1/150 with departmental prize. I have two papers in preparation for the astrophysical journal (pretty famous peer-reviewed journal) in plasma physics with one of them required funding which I applied for and received. But, I have no GRE. Paying that much when I have tight schedule and low on money was not doable. Will my in-preparations paper matter if the people who I worked under are my references/ recommendations?
