I’m female international student in USA doing my undergraduate studies in CS with minor in Data Science and Analytics.
My current GPA is 4.0 and I’m aiming to keep it 3.8+.
I’m trying to see which programs will be suitable to me in terms of funding and how I can improve my chances of getting in.
I’m currently doing a research in Stochastic Modeling( I haven’t taken any courses yet related to probability or stats at university, but I have online from MIT and will continue doing researches during next 3 years of college(I’m freshman).

My question would be is there anyone who got in into that program? How is your experince with it? How is your funding? How realistic is it to get into PhD without masters?
Also, what can I do to keep myself competitive to get into this program?(as you can see from my other post, I’m looking into different programs, but because of my future goals and funding for programs, I have decided to settle on PhD).
