Hey folks,

I am considering applying for a place within MIT’s Computer Science PhD program. I hold a BSc (Honors) in the same discipline and I am in the process of completing my Masters Degree. I reside in the UK, hence all my degrees are from reputable British Universities. I did some research on the web and I came across some articles which indicate the US grade equivalence to my BSc degree is 3.5 GPA [Class 2: Division: 1 under UK System], maybe someone can confirm this?. I have secured few places within various UK Universities, however I am looking for a change and would love the opportunity to spend some time in the USA.

I will appreciate if someone can shed some light on whether my application meets the standard required for admissions in terms qualification? bearing in mind I am only interested in the PhD program and not Masters

Many Thanks
