Pursuing Graduate School and the Computer Science Research Career

Oh, the idea of grad school is a bit scary to me. Where will I apply? Will I be accepted? What should my focus be? Ahh.. all of the unanswered questions!

So, because of all of these questions, I chose to attend a session all about graduate schools. The panelists provided a lot of great insight and information about grad school.

Some reasons why the presenters attended grad school:
-to do research
-to pursue teaching and mentoring
-to have independence
-to work with passionate, intelligent people
-to continually learn new things

I still don't know where I should apply to in a year though... any ideas? :)
