Addressing school selection anxiety for Australian three-year bachelor's graduates without an honors degree seeking a US Computer Science master’s, this article points out that US universities do not categorically reject such applicants. Instead, programs fall into two classes: those that directly accept and those that consider the applicant holistically, offering clarity and confidence in the school selection process.

The article lists specific target schools: Carnegie Mellon University and Columbia University, among others, directly accept applications; while top schools like Stanford University and the University of Chicago will evaluate the applicant’s overall background for admission.

Computer Science (CS) has always been a hot field for graduate applications, and for Australian bachelor’s students it is no exception. But for those without an honors degree, there is always the worry that US schools do not accept three-year undergraduate programs.

In fact, that’s not entirely true. While there are restrictions, the options are not entirely closed.

Broadly, schools fall into two categories: those that accept and those that consider:

➡️Accepting means there are nearly no restrictions—you can apply if you want (though the bar is another story; a low WAM is definitely not enough for a hyper-competitive field like CS).
➡️Considering mainly depends on your background: if you are strong in all aspects, the school has no reason to reject you.

Schools that accept:

· Carnegie Mellon CS (requires WES certification)

· Columbia CS

· JHU CS

· Emory CS (requires WES certification)

· NEU CS
