Ask HN: Prerequisite CS classes for a competitive PhD?

5 points by HedgehogAmp 8y ago ↗ HN

I’m a junior CS major at a small liberal arts college. I’m worried that my school’s limited offerings would not make me a competitive candidate at top-tier CS schools. What are some classes I should take to increase my chances?

Random advice from the internet:

Talk to people at the programs at which you are interested. Start establishing relationships with the people you may be spending a lot of time with. Get specific relevant information. Good luck.
