[comp.edu] info on Natural Language

levison@levison.applicon.UUCP (10/11/88)

	I am interested in going back to school to get a Masters (and 
    possibly a PhD) in Computer Science.  Specifically I am interested in 
    the Natural Language branch of AI.  I have begun to research different 
    schools, but I know from my undergraduate experience that the best 
    information comes from people in the program at the school.  So if 
    anyone out there has any advice, I would be most appreciative.  

	Some of the schools I am looking at are :
	
	    MIT		 Stanford 
	    Berkeley  	 Yale 
	    Harvard 	 CMU 
	    U Penn       

	This is only a partial list ... any other suggestions are welcome.


	Questions are :

 	  How do you know about the program ?  

	  Would you (did you) go there ?  Why or why not ?

	  What do you think of their Masters program ?  The PhD program ?

	  I have a BA in Mathematics and Romance Languages (double major).  I
	  have worked for two years + in CAD/CAM and have been attending night
	  school to try and fill in some of the gaps in my computer knowledge. 
	  Is the fact that I don't have a BS in CS going to be a problem 
	  anywhere ?

	  What other questions should I be asking ?  (seriously !)


    Please email your responses to me.  If anyone else is interested, 
    let me know; I'll compile a list and send it on.

    Thanx in advance.
