This website is being updated to include procedures for our CS web-based Admissions system. This is a secondary step all CS Applicants must take *after* submitting their application through the university-wide online application system. Notably, all materials except two sets of official transcripts must be submitted on-line through our CS web-based Admissions system. Materials include unofficial transcripts; PDF copies of your official GRE scores and, if applicable, TOEFL score reports; and a minimum and maximum of 3 letters of recommendation. Please do not send additional materials other than what we request as they will not be included with your application. However, you are welcome to include a link to your home page along with your statement of purpose.

The department only handles CS graduate student admissions. All undergraduate admissions are handled by Stanford University Admissions. Helpful information about getting an undergraduate degree in computer science can be found at http://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/undergrad/.
