<p>Hi… I am a college sophomore from India… I am doing engineering in Applied electronics and instrumentation…However i want to change my major and pursue a masters degree in Computer science from the US.
What will be more favourable with the adcom??? A couple of summer internships(instrumentation)…or a couple of short term(2-3 months) Computer courses( Any language c++,java, visual basic etc) to show them that i am really interested in this field!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Bumpp…A little help guyz!!!</p>
<p>Internships (especially if it involves research)</p>
<p>Technology-based computer classes won’t make much difference. At bare minimum, you should have taken at least a college-level course in programming, operating system, data structure and/or algorithm, which are often the prerequisite for your graduate courses. </p>
<p>If those are not offered in your college, overpower your resume with the good internship experience but prepare to spend an extra semester taking the prerequiste classes.</p>
