Has anybody here gotten into a graduate program?
I'm thinking of applying and getting into one for CS (BAS Major with CS and Math minors) and I'm...technically a super-senior at this point?
How competitive is it and what's the general procedure? I've got a decent GPA (3.8) and industry experience already but I didn't really butter up to any of my professors because I didn't think of it at the time.
Am I just fucked if I don't have glowing recommendations?

In CS PhD atm...
The main thing you need is research experienc to get into a PhD program. Masters students don't necessarily need research I suppose, and you can treat your masters as a way to get research experience.
You definitely need 3 academic letters however.

Probably should've specified but yeah I'm just looking for a Masters, not really keen on going into PhD level.

I would try to scrounge up the letters. Masters programs are less competitive since you're paying a shit ton and aren't funded generally. Lots of competition for grad school nowadays however...
